Got to the petrol station and was told it was off just as I got there and turned around, what a day out lol, luckily I had only got as far as K*ttering though so not complaining.

Think it's time for clubs to just say nothing now until they know the ref's decision, I had a bad feeling when they said it would be on, that the ref would turn up and call it off. Little bit annoyed though as surely the pitch wasn't that bad, I know it was very cold last night but the sun was on it in the morning I believe and Mansfield say there was just frost! So once again we look forward to a huge game and it gets called off, bloody weather!

Edit: Reading the ref's comments perhaps it was quite bad actually, I predict the rearranged date will be 13th April.

Just phoned Barry, they are at Mansfield trying to get a train to Nottingham to watch a game. Oh and the sun is shining bright.

The supporters club coach was still only on the A14 when we found out, so we fortunately hadn't gone too far. Still an absolute f**king pain in the arse though! :evil:

I really hope Chester go bust now so that the game's rearranged for 9th March rather than mid-April. Wouldn't want to be going to Mansfield needing a result.

Mansfield chairman not happy. Reckons there is nothing wrong with the pitch

ON the plu side the Wombles are 2-1 up at Lootun! I think this is good, as we would be a point behind Lootun on same number of games. Wombles would be 2 behind

What a joke, what is wrong with refs these days? Turning into a nanny state, can't believe it was called off because about 5 metres of the pitch were a little bit frozen. The club could have poured a bit of hot water on the ground and it would have been fine. All the ref has done have f**ked up both clubs playoff chances, and hit Mansfield in the pocket.

JOKE. Two shite refs in two games. :evil:
