Thing is, it's not entirely the state of the pitch which has angered fans, it's the inept comms. I know they said the surface was playable and no plans for an inspection. But it screamed arrogance in its tone and was laughable how they used a photo of the pitch in perfect condition. Should have said - "The pitch is currently playable but we are aware of the worsening weather conditions and forecast for the day and will keep supporters updated every hour. *pic of pitch as is*" Then follow up with something like - "The ref will arrive at xx and a possible pitch inspection would follow." Then they wait nearly 40 minutes from saying the ref was inspecting the pitch to making an announcement... come on, why so long? It's 2024 and you can engage instantly with fans and keep them updated. Fucking use it. You'd thinks I'd worked in comms or something... Given the farce from last weekend you'd think that we'd try to show how things should be done. Postponements are inevitable given our pitch condition so there was no need to be unprepared.

Not sure how true this is but to be honest I have no trouble believing it with the people who run this club.

There have been 2 games called off now, and two games in serious doubt only just confirmed when everyone had already travelled. Can anyone be Arsed on Tuesday? I mean the pictures of the pitch earlier were clear that this game was in serious doubt less than an hour or so after the club claimed there wasn't an issue. Complete clownshow once again.

I notice some of the supporters board were given the signal to get the message out yesterday about the investment into the club and the pitch.
They were truly rinsed by many on twitter.

I think even we might be more forgiving if we'd just won, checks notes, the last three Premier Leagues and a European Cup.
Might be.

Of all the shit takes, this must be up there with the shittest. Celtic fans torched their CEO’s car after they finished second in the league. They’re gearing up to do it again if they only finish second this year. SparksY should count himself lucky we have the most pathetic and docile fan base in all the land.

They drain you of what little enthusiasm is left after watching football all these years. As Leon says, they use false equivalence to smugly make a point. I can't be arsed to argue anymore. The club will never improve, develop or grow undet Rupp's way of doing things, and any success on the pitch will only be temporary and down to luck. Arguing with gompers in light of everything done and said from the club is just a waste of time, effort and emotion. It's like a miserable relationship. What's the point of staying in it because you're scared of something different?

What's the point of staying in it because you're scared of something different? I had it yesterday after I posted what was meant to be a lighthearted comment about Wycombe buying Reading's training ground for £20m yet we train at a school. Someone decided to take me to task about it, with his eventual trump card being "I've been to visit Woodhouse Grove and it looks alright to me". I mean, really?

Saturday night and I'm sat alone in my bedroom whilst my cousin is round at his birds, my best mate is out on a date, and Hobbes is sucking off Gilliead on Twitter. Life isn't fair.

Credit to Matt Brookes for having a word with Rupp it I’m not having this part:
Will the accounts in the form we publish them show whether this is true or not?

Amazing - Rupp publicly speaks twice in just over 2 years, then a fan manages to grab him on the off chance and at face value seems to get more info than any previous media interview.

Actions speak louder than words, if Rupp is indeed so set on fixing this shit he should be sacking sparks first thing Monday morning and getting a Dave Baldwin type in

Simon Parker is a bit of a cunt, isn't he? Never really minded the guy and I appreciate he’s got to keep the club sweet but he’s really not covering himself in glory lately. It makes you wonder just how choreographed and controlled by the club his pieces are. In other news Chewy is channelling his inner dickhead again.

Telling fans how to support the club, calling fans out etc. But then we'll lose against Barrow and his first thought is to run to Twitter to nosh off Pete Wild.
