Game in doubt? on 10:36 - Sep 28 by James1980 | Are the pre match tweets sent out by a bot? |
No but it'd be normal for tweets to be written and then scheduled to go live at a later time. Chances are it was written yesterday if not earlier in the week. Standard practice really | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That policy needs looking at then as it's irresponsible when people are travelling, especially if things were known on Friday | ![](/images/avatars/17584.gif) |

Game in doubt? on 10:47 - Sep 28 with 2879 views | MiddGazzard | Thought the weather could be an issue after yesterday`s rain. Haydock Park races were abandoned after 3 races (mid afternoon) due to the amount of standing water. It has rained non-stop here this morning since 8am ! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

So the 'whose coming, visitor guide & safe journey' tweets are somewhat automated? Hence them being sent despite the game could well be called off. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

It's a fair assumption they might be automated, but to have no plan in place to cancel them in highly predictable circumstances is very poor, in fact it's unprofessional | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

Game in doubt? on 11:05 - Sep 28 with 2623 views | Dalenet | The rain has stopped and there is a glimmer of hope of a bit of sun. Lets hope the ref gives the pitch a few hours, unless Wycombe have only travelled half way up the country.

I don't know about Twitter, but if you have a Facebook business page, it does give you the option to schedule a post to appear at a certain time, mainly so that you can leave a few hours between posts rather than spam people who follow your page with lots of posts at once. It is possible that the admin staff can access the emails and reply, but maybe only the media team can access Facebook and Twitter. If the admin team didn't know about the scheduled posts, or didn't have access to the password, they would not be able to stop them. It is also possible that the staff thought it was playable, and it is only when the referee arrived that he wanted an inspection. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'd already worked that out, seeing as I was responsible for similar IT procedures in the latter part of my working life It's f*cking irresponsible and unprofessional not to have provision in place for such circumstances which can cause a great deal of inconvenience and expense when it gives a misleading impression | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

We don't even know if it's off yet. The pitch inspection may just be a precaution. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
