Accrington worked hard to get the game on but referee's 10am inspection kiboshed it.

Shame for a lot of Pompey fans halfway up the country in cars and trains.

Wondering if the FL could set up more local away games for all clubs in the winter months to avoid this needless travelling and early starts.

Or maybe Accrington should just sort their fucking pitch out.

Judging by Twitter, there's a couple of midland sides that could have their gates boosted by a couple of hundred today, as fans look to get their fix elsewhere.

That's nothing, Wycombe fans were there when the ref called it off at 1-30 pm.

A few years ago we made it to half time before it was abandoned, didn't even get free admission to rearranged game.

Surely the football league should look into this, how many home games have they had called off now because of their pitch? What about the club itself? Have they not come out and said anything about upgrading their pitch or whatever? Something needs to be done because it's getting beyond a joke!
