We are not all on twitter and the club should let us know what is happening.

Get hip with the kids daddio.

I'm guessing here but maybe we were relying on Hinckleys groundstaff to let us know the condition of the pitch and they are only part time, hence the late notification? Dunno, its probably safest to blame Mcleish.

I blame MON

Now you're talking!

That was posted on the website @ about 5.00pm

Which is probably as soon as the game was called off.

Yes. In all seriousness, surely Pravda should be current and up to date with details like this? Very poor indeed.

The reserve and youth sections of the website have always been pretty poorly done and not particularly up to date.

Still no consideration for the travelling supporter, even any dingles that might have been going. Then again....

That's very poor but doesn't surprise me, there's a dreadful lack of communication regarding many club fixtures.  I went to VP for the Liverpool game and the entire first team failed to turn up.

Hey Larry ,i know how you feel mate.Before i came to work over here i used to enjoy the reserve games and youth games and quite often used to find them more entertaining than the first team games.Then someone decided first of all to play some of them 40 miles away at Hinckley,great if your working all day and got no chance of making a 7o clock kick off. Then last season they came up with the great idea of playing at BMH at 1pm on a weekday.Truth is the club are not bothered about the fans who would like to watch theses games.

Keep the faith Larry th club need people like you more than they know.

Don't worry about that orange stuff in your eyes.   It's the pupil dilator stuff you should not drive with and if they put that in you will need a guide dog to find the exit.   With the orange when you drive red is the top light, orange is the middle one and green is the bottom one and Villa are the ones playing in grey and yellow.

It was on the sports news within Adrian Goldbergs show on WM that the game had been called off and the new time was also announced. This was before 2pm.

We shouldn't even play reserve games in a backwater like Hinckley, its ridiculous.  I know its only a 40-minute drive as I work there, but its not the easiest place to get to and the games are constantly being called off at little notice.

I live near Hinckley and my garden was frozen all day, you cannot blame the club for the weather. you cannot expect to risk players on 1000s a week getting injured on a frozen pitch. And as for the day time kick offs that was something to do with the FA as I recall.

I don't think anyone said they expected them to play on a frozen pitch. Everyone has said the same - fans should be kept up to date. It isn't hard to post updates on the official website. Someone has stated it was cancelled by 2pm, yet the club didn't post anything til 5, when people have already set off.
