There most certainly is an argument for a Trust EGM because their meandering is helping nobody, either the club or supporters.
Would there be enough Trust members on here who would support calling an EGM? |

The area in the corner, good/bad drainage aside, was a problem because the ball wasn’t bouncing there last Tuesday or on Saturday. The surface there needed addressing like the surface in the centre of the pitch.
The drainage issue needs to be established by a complete reconstruction. The drains themselves may be fine and the water isn’t reaching them. It’s all speculation. |

Dread to think of the carnage that ensue on the BBC website when it’s rearranged again. |

To be fair, the OS story carries the obligatory apology for “inconvenience”.
A bit like McDonalds when they don’t have milkshakes available. Which, like getting a game on at Spotland, is always a ‘fingers crossed, you never know’ situation. |

Totally get that. But at the same time fans and those present last Tuesday were already commenting on how there was an area of real concern in that corner.
Allowing a ref to have a decision to make is on us. No matter if we all may disagree. |

If the club actually try and shift the blame to the ref at the forum, it will signify the lack of accountability and respect for supporters to acknowledge how they have fallen short.

The Trust have retweeted the club’s announcement about the game being off.
It would be just as easy to add “we will look to address this with the club on supporters behalf” in their tweet.
They didn’t. Because they STILL do not have processes in place to ensure supporters are fully informed across a myriad of possible situations that may occur. And they know it. |

This is not about drainage or even rain. Because there’s hardly been any. That corner especially looked a total mess last week.
Q1:
What has been done to make it better?
Until we are specifically told there is an issue with the drains, that remains speculation. |

But if we all commented on it a week ago and a “subjective” ref turns up then it’s obvious there’s a problem that needs to be addressed. And it already should have been. |

Don’t think it’s time to go down the route of looking for reasons outside our control. Same as anyone blaming the ref for making the decision.
This is all on RAFC to ensure the pitch is fit for purpose. |

We now have a pitch that isn’t fit for purpose.
If it’s that corner, questions have to answered as to why it wasn’t dug up and resurfaced like the centre circle. |

Where are you looking for that forecast?
It’s far from perfect but Met Office site is usually ok and right now they’re predicting light rain from 9pm until 2am, then 50/60% chance of light rain from 5am until the afternoon. |

Really can’t remember who has ever defended the slow, possession based stuff at the back as being the best option for this squad. We’ve always been at our best when playing at pace and looking to go forward within the structure McNulty has developed. It was even the same last season when we had less options in the squad.
The argument was whether the game’s over reliance on ball retention or playing out dangerously was ingrained or whether there could be a shift. Time will tell and it’s hoped managers and players can see the benefits of playing a style which is entertaining and effective. |

City leading after going more direct. Something Guardiola noted this week about teams like Bournemouth and Newcastle progressing with a style that’s becoming more noticeable.
We were direct when required today too. As we have been previously to good effect.
Is there a change in the air? |

Eh? We played well first half but weren’t clinical with the chances. Second half we were. Good performance with Ayinde and Okeke standing out.
Fitzo’s comments in the podcast were proven to be very astute. When we play at pace with the wide CBs pushed on we look a good team. Well worth a listen. |

One question that hasn’t been really answered is whether the last EGM and voting through the creation of all those new shares was necessary for the Ogdens to get involved?
The amount and percentage of control wasn’t properly explained at that stage. Happy to be corrected with details of the specifics. |

If the pitch can’t take a flurry of light snow then we may as well give up and move games somewhere else.
The bigger immediate concern is the rain that’s forecast for tomorrow when Hornets play. This is not a dig at Hornets so let’s try and avoid all those debates, but if that game is played what confidence will there be in our game on Tuesday going ahead? |
