Called off due to snow making the surrounding area unsafe and taking conditions of people travelling into account.Says that the pitch is rated 50/50 to play but would take time to move the snow. Would suggest they were still thinking of playing even after yesterday. |  | | |  |

They were confident they would play today I'm told. |  | | |

Capital letters for the trophy they're playing for.
And 'early'. |  |

My initial thoughts were that Hornets have a half decent Website there.......and some top Sponsors?
Not too bad for amateurs. | | | |

i was in around the ground most of this morning, saw no one at the club between 9-11. Not anyone even went there to check...
Obviously I'm talking cars, someone could have walked and i wouldn't have seen them. | | | |

How smart do you have to be ? If you have eyes that see that should be enough. | | | |

Probably as smart as the groundsman who stated last Sunday morning that the pitch wasn't fit......... [Post edited 17 Jan 2016 17:13]

What would you like to change going forward?
Surely Dale sorting he stadium with Hornets as tenants is the best option? | |

Pay per play has to be the best option, with the landlord saying when a game is allowed to be played, and understanding that certain unimportant games like friendles cannot be played in certain circumstances. |  |

That's the conclusion the Hornets board and shareholders came to over a year ago. I wasn't at that meeting but I would have probably voted for the deal at the time. The disdain Hornets are treated with doesn't fill me with too much confidence for the future of the deal at the moment. | | | |

Aye.
At around 5pm last Saturday I could see there perhaps shouldn't be another game on the pitch less than 24 hours later. | |

What disdain?
This is a fans' forum. What has this got to do with the deal proposed? | |

I have grave doubts wether a deal of that sort would have been voted for. I wouldn't have voted for such a deal. You can't run a club were a third party with a vested interests tells you wether you can play or not. | | | |

Nobody is saying that will happen, but what's so unacceptable about it and what other options would be open to Hornets? | |

The interest of the state of the pitch would have to be taken into consideration. For example, if by delaying a friendly game by a couple of days to allow work on the pitch between two games, might be better for all parties.
Could Hornets switched the game around to play at Salford with the arrangement they still get some of the takings, and if so under pay per play, they could offset any potential losses, or indeed potentially make more money holding at Salford. Same with the Oldham game, maybe they could have hosted the Law cup match and do a deal, and under pay for play Hornets might be better off.
I have no idea if pay per play has been agreed as the way forward in the stadium deal being worked on, but I would have thought that would be the best option for all concerned, plus a rent on any offices they use at Spotland paid monthly by Standing Order. | |

Like I said earlier, any club needs to be able to run it's affairs without undue interference from outside agencies that may or may not have that club'b best interests at heart.
Regarding the disdain, well you only have to read through this thread and other threads like it. A significant faction of the people posting here would like nothing more than Hornets cease to exist. | | | |

But the disdain shown by some supporters has nothing to do with any deal. Why would it affect it?
If Dale can sort the Stadium Company and Hornets get to remain at Spotland, that's got to be of benefit to everyone. [Post edited 17 Jan 2016 18:11]
