Newcastle Fan Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 So what's the alternative now? any idea when the new date will be? I would offer to play it at SJP and let them keep the cash as they will clearly need it to fix that mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if European teams can be seeded then they can switch grounds as one pitch is unplayable and will be for the foreseeable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing it at SJP would be sensible but they won't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I'd imagine game will be played elsewhere - perhaps Selhurst Park or Loftus Road? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 40 minutes ago, 80 said: Took me a couple of seconds to realise it was real. Wow. Thought it was fake. I'm guessing it's some kind of hybrid synth pitch, hence how it's bubbles and showing the sand. God knows, but that's at least a quarter of the pitch needing to be bedded back in. Agree with if we can have it here and donate the proceeds to grt it fixed. Surely the best outcome for all rather than a bye, which it'll have to be as that's weeks away and lesgur fixtures will take priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next round isn’t until w/c 16/12, so you’d have 6 weeks to find a date for the 4th round match. Whether their ground would be ready in a months time is obviously a different question.

nufcjb Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) Let's decide what to do with the tie after the draw is made on Wedneaday. If we get any of the clubs playing in Europe away from home, let Wimbledon get a bye into the next round. All the hassle just for us to get a fucked up draw again as per usual.
