I did say "Match Commissioner called the game off". It now sounds like a really bad decision by him especially if Town wanted to play,I also noticed the forecast it didn't look too bad for the rest of the day,really is a strange one.

As we have a Challenge Cup match next Sunday against our arch rivals Whitehaven, I can assure you the last thing we wanted was a game against Keighley on Tuesday evening before it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy n Kev got as far as Tebay.....we made Kirby Lonsdale..

Really cant believe the game was off... Surely Worky if they had been forking the field for two hours must have known it was in doubt . Some announcement to this effect earlier in the morning would have meant folk delayed their start times and prevented some pointless miles travel

The only reason it could be called of is because of players safety. Or have i got that wrong?

I got as fair as Skipton by-pass when I got the call. The team bus was just in front of me. So we were all lucky not to be half way up what a call the nanny goat track up to Ingleton.

Anyone heard anything about Tuesday night?

In fairness to the match commissioner it was announced just after 9.00am that the match was off. Having said that, it shouldn't have been off. We have had a nice afternoon weatherwise with a good drying wind as well and this was match postponed that should have been played. Unfortunately, we have to get on with it and it looks like Tuesday evening but it's time someone was telling the fans if that is so.

I think i may have won this contest, 10 miles from ground before stopping to read text telliing me game was off.

We turned around and went to watch Halifax v Leigh.



Leigh were awful.

That said I think if the pitch has become dried out and hard as a rock and the pitch has therefore not been able to absorb the rain or disperse the rain then a substantial proportion of the responsibility lies with Workington Town RLFC and the persons responsible for their pitch.



As they failed to notify Keighley prior to the setting off time I shall expect there shall be a compensation claim made. (Against who and what else this might include other than the coach we will have to wait and see.)



I also doubt as many away fans will be making the journey from Cougar Park on a week day night and probably a fewer number of home fans.



I doubt for one minute anybody at Worky thought or imagined this was for any type of advantage. It will not help them on the pitch and certainly not in money terms. However I imagine they may monitor the condition of there pitch and drainage, and watering a little more closely as a result of this.



As this time of year you need to water the pitch and spike it.



Many of the Worky Fans feel a little embarrassed by this.

Surely both. clubs . should regard this fixture as sufficiently important to rearrange for a Sunday in May; even if it means one of those Rail Cup games being arranged for a midweek?

Wondered why the tea hut was shut and I was stood on my own ......
