Does anyone else not find it suspicious....

[Lewis]

That Burnley's game is set to go ahead today yet a mere 14-15 miles north west Preston's game has been called off? I don't understand it, conditions can't be drastically worse in that small distance apart surely?!!

I smell a rat at the moment, what with all the suspensions and injuries Preston had, they did absolutely jack sh*t to try and get the game on...

Lewis I did yesterday too....but having just seen the picture of the pitch at Deepdale I'm not so convinced although with the weather conditions forcast in advance couldnt they have taken precautions.....still not sure to tell the truth, but the pitch was under several inches of snow

But I'm sure Burnley's pitch has had the same amount of snowfall, the difference being their groundsmen have probably been working on clearing the pitch around the clock while Preston just gave up.

Just seems too convenient on a day when they would have their weakest squad for some time in a very important game...

i was thinking the same thing, how hard where they really trying to make the pich ready

[Gaz]

There's a safety review at Burnley at 1pm.

see my response under the post "game off" , Lewis !...how the barstewards have got away with this beats me !!

[Vaughan8]

I think they called it off too early! perhaps should have had a look about 7-8am this morning.

I think after that newcastle v charlton game every1 is gonna call games off early if there is a lot of travelling involved

[Riviera]

who are Burnley playing? do they have to travel as far as our fans? i doubt it, people would be going nuts if they had set off for preston only for the game to get called off just before kick off, at least this way no one has wasted any money trying to get there

Burnley are playing Reading, quite a trek also a good 3-4 hours which is not much more than Ipswich to Preston.

Just can't believe that Preston did their utmost to make the game playable...

lewis mate, did u seen the weather conditions on TV yesterday??? im suprised any games have gone ahead today, calling the game off as a precaution was a very good idea, nothing worse than travelling 4 or 5 hours for a game to get called off

If the weather was anything like it was in Chester this morning at that time (and it was forecast to be better here than in Preston) then they would have been standing in a blizzard

Having said that - its now a really nice day with temperatures up to 7 degrees and the sun shining.

[Gaz]

It's ok for all you people who don't travel to away games, you sit in your armchairs in the warm and still bloody moan.

I'm glad they called the game off yesterday rather than when I was on the way to Preston

[ippers]

Yeah we had Parkin, Forster, lee and Fuller unavailable today, so the chances of wnning weren't very high

[uefacup81]

I think at the end of the day that the postponement will work well for both of us. We both had depleted squads where it really matters, and at the end of the day, Preston now have THREE games in hand!

Thing is though many of us won't be able to make it up there on a tuesday night now!!!

ill admit it is odd, that Burnley went ahead but im fairly sure they cover the pitch, youd think preston could afford a large sheet if Burnley can

but then again i can see the logic in calling it off in advance, did Burnley have a pitch inspection?

[Fully]

Yeah, Burnley had inspection at 1pm

That would definitely explain it then.

Thanks
