Villarocker Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I remember being a young lad and seeing my Dad leave the house with a garden fork to go down the Villa to help the groundsman with the pitch after the club asked for volunteers. It would be nice to get today's game on and get 3 points on the board to apply some pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted March 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2018 Ill be disapointed if we are one of only a few games called off, will put us at a bit of a disadvantage. At the moment we are 1 of only 4 games re-arranged, from what i can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 To be honest I am not surprised the game is off, and I think more will be called off as the morning wears on. I don’t see it as a bad thing for us as it allows a little extra rest for our older players to recuperate and for those returning from injury to fully recover before the final push. Also, the risk of injury is greater in these conditions, I wouldn’t want to risk further injuries as we are about to reach the key point of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Shame no game as weekends are boring as it is but I think its probably good to allow key players to get fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not be the only team in this situation, as I reckon more and more games will be cancelled this morning. I just hope the extra rest means Jack and Albert are ready to go when we start again.

Nigel Posted March 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2018 After so many cancellations its puts pressure on other games to follow suit. Doubt there are many places in the country that will be 100%. Id expect more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
