Can you give me an early Christmas pressie.Thrash Leeds,i am sick of in out shake it all about Farke,lets have a decision one way or the other.He is either the man for the job or he is not,it must be unsettling for the players,so a good hiding might just sort it out once and for all.

Presumably you missed the result against Chelsea...

Totally embarrassing! For the 2nd time this season Rovers were 1-0 up, then heavy rain made the pitch unplayable, forcing the game to be abandoned!!!

How was the weather in Accrington??? I'm not defending the lack of investment in the pitch drainage system but conditions were dreadful.

Sat in the stand my first reaction was embarrassing. Once I got outside I realised how heavy the rain was. I walked from Ewood to what used to be The Aqueduct pub, @Accy cyclist will probably know that. I park there on match days. It's five minutes. I was wearing a fleece, thermal gilet and thermal jacket. My shirt was wet when I got to the car!!!

I doubt much could have prevented the abandonment.

The weather at Accrington's Wham Stadium was the same, with it being about 6 miles from Ewood Park, yet our 90 odd minutes, plus extra-time and penalties FA Cup match against Mansfield went ahead without any problems, though don't mention the result. Accy had years of drainage problems, then current chairman Andy Holt took over the club and said we need to spend big to fix the serious problem, not keep trying to fix it with short term, penny pinching methods! Ironically Accrington are hosting two Rochdale FC 'home' National League games soon, as Rochdale are having the same problems as we had, so they too are having to dig deep, not only into their pockets, but the pitch as well!!
