They aren't happy in Huddersfield.

They aren’t wrong with a lot of what they’re saying. The communication from the club has been piss poor and I’m not buying the innocent ‘we had no idea this was going to happen’ act either.

What are we supposed to do? It's the EFL ref or official who calls the game off, not us as a club

Let the fans know when a pitch inspection might take place so we’re not completely in the dark as to what the plan is for Saturday?

Because the club doesn't know if it's on yet... It's as simple as that.

They will be speaking to the EFL all the time.

I hate links to that awful website. Can you copy and paste the text? It’s like playing dungeons and dragons trying to fight off the adverts and pop ups to find a small clue within the text and finally decipher the full message, just to find you went up the wrong passage, found nothing and been surrounded by more goblin pop up and adverts. Oxygen thieves, the lot of them.

I immediately hit reader mode for anything I want to read on the CT, it’s unusable otherwise.

We next play at home after Saturday, 2 weeks today.

As long as the pitch is classed as safe, why not play the Huddersfield game even if its a shit pitch, then tear it up and do whatever they're planning giving it 11 days to bed in and be sorted.

I fear going 3 games behind at this point isnt going to end well

That's exactly what would happen, you can't call a game off just because you don't like the surface, if the EFL deem it playable the game is played, simple as that.

Exactly, it's only off if it is unsafe. Not if it's a bit shit.

If it can be made safe it will be on it’s an EFL decision which is a good thing, could it be put back 24/48 hours ? nothing would surprise me.

If it's on it needs to be on Saturday. Too many people would have made arrangements and wouldn't be able to make a Sunday/Monday fixture that has been listed as Saturday without more notice

The annoying thing is it’s seriously unlikely to be on. Nothing has changed

While I agree with your sentiments, so long as security, police etc okay it we the fans would be the last to consider, we always are.

Hilssner to come on in 89th minute, fake a new ACL injury after 10 seconds and add his wages for the remainder of his contract to the compensation claim?

If it is a root system issue a couple of days of rain isn't enough to fix the issue

That or they’re stuck in limbo where they can’t post all their usual match buildup grid until they know if there’s a match.

Do we need one? Do the ones in the executive boxes still get used and full or something?

Totally agree - We're aware of "state aid" rules, audited accounts, umbrella companies and their subsidiaries, administration processes etc. and now football pitch technology
