Says it all really

HW

I seem to remember a thurs eve game on sky versus Widnes (last season or 2 seasons ago) going ahead and the rec pitch was in a much worse condition!! IIRC it was as bad as that in that particular corner last season when we played them but it was played! They got the fire brigade to pump it away before too!! Poor show this from the Marras if you ask me!! Calling it off 40 mins before the coaches were due to set off!!!

Well it saved me some money at least as a poor student. Shame though, look forward to a big crowd at the Shay next week, however, should be a good game.

Id rather them call it off 40 mins before the coaches set off than 40 minutes after

there has been a pump there for the last 3 weeks and doing its job keeping water from the corner, the problem wasn't water on the surface, it was a collapsed drain meaning the water was underneath and not getting away .When inspected by the local ref (steve nicholson)at 9.00am, the mud was above his ankles in that corner and he deemed it too dangerous for the players

Don't see what the fuss is. These things just happen. Whitehaven wouldn't not want the game to go ahead and would have tried their best to get it on and they made sure the ref called it off being the Away support had set off as well (minus the overnighters).

Some posts make it sound like it's all one big conspiracy theory.
