I meant at our ground. If the PA announcer gives out the full time scores - the scoreboard may have superseded this nowadays - did he mention the abandonment and why it had happened? |  | |  |

I was there. The second half should never have started. I think the referee realised that but tried to complete the match to justify continuing until even he could see how ludicrous it had become! |  | |  |

Yes, I only saw a brief clip of the ref testing the bounce, and there was still a bounce there. I suspect we’d reached that stage or worse by the same time (60 mins or whatever it was). I wonder if our game was in the back of the ref’s mind and he didn’t want to risk pushing it out further and having a later abandonment. Who knows. |  |

But to have two separate abandonments when other matches in the area are able to be completed shows their pitch is not up to an acceptable standard. Really they should receive a sanction for failing to fulfil the fixtures as planned. That said, they are only 8 points ahead of nodge so I will happily accept the EFL's inability to act on this one. |  |

They’ve admitted it’s not up to standard too. It’s 40 years old according to the interview with their groundsman (or at least the drainage system is). |  |

There wasn’t even a weather warning yesterday but there is one for Tuesday which ends at 3pm so the Oxford game should be OK |  |

To be fair, I'd probably think about doing that if I was defeated in a battle of wits by someone pretending to be a pie. |  |

ITV's rubbish EFL show hit a new low on Saturday with their Blackburn highlights, showing a caption at the end reading "Match abandoned... Blackburn 1 Ipswich 0 |  | |  |
| Was Blackburn’s latest abandonment announced after yesterday’s game? on 07:53 - Dec 8 with 665 views | gosblue | I believe that Ipswich spoke to the ref at halftime when it was 0-0 and we had 11 men. Our subs couldn't go through their routines because the pitch was so bad. Several teams have been refused promotion from non-league into the fourth tier because their ground wasn't up to scratch. Surely the pitch is a key part of the ground. If it doesn't get sorted in the summer, should they be allowed to play in the EFL there? |  | |  |

I was just going to ask this. And did the manager have a hissy fit again? That pitch looked a lot better than when ours was abandoned. WHich firstly proves our game should have been called off A LOT earlier, and secondly was rightly called off. [Post edited 8 Dec 11:38]

They fattened up their transfer budget by not investing in the pitch. They gained advantage. It was a disadvantage to us financially as the costs of getting the team and staff to that shthole, will have been considerable. We also lost the services of a player with a ban. Wednesday need two trips there like a hole in the head given their situation. Pay them out too. If they don’t sort it in the summer, of course they should not be allowed to play there. Yes, the pitch is a if not the key part of a ground and it’s 2025. This should not be happening. There’s plenty of grounds close by to share with and their 10k supporters won’t mind I’m sure. No problem. In fact, I’d order the ground closed now until April, assuming the pitch is dryer and the weather more benign by then. |  | |  |
