Hope everyone is ok.
However from a selfish perspective, that is just our luck!

They’ll have still travelled and had the pain of that just not the physical exertion of the game itself.

Not a bad thing
All trained up and probably rested, carbed up and prepped mentally for the game, travelled down, now got to travel back and get back into training mode before the game on Saturday.
At this point I can clutch as many straws as I like.
Was anybody in their squad banned for the game that will now carry over?

It might not be all bad. Getting up for a game and then having it pulled at the last minute can sometimes be worse.
We need a result on Saturday. No excuses.

Big fire near the stadium.

Post by somersetstokie on Mar 6, 2024 16:56:39 GMT
Unexpected and probably unavoidable. Huge fire in a warehouse next to the St Mary's stadium has made site inaccessible. Considerable amount of fire and smoke about three o' clock causing hazardous situations.
Initial reports from the Stadium itself suggest that the fire may have caused up to ten million pounds in improvements.
Edit. Game called off early to consider travelling Preston fans.

Let’s be honest, they could’ve travelled twice round the world on a rickshaw with no sleep and they would’ve still been fresher and more up for it than us. This who is least physically drained stuff rarely works in our favour and whether we stay up or go down isn’t going to boil down to a fire.

And assuming they are, if this thread doesn't descend very quickly into fire/smoke/heat puns I'll be very disappointed Not quite a related joke or pun but I can get S'ton in. I worked at one time for a telephone call centre giving directory based information on services listings. If there wasn't a local service available to offer the caller, we were required to expand the search area to find possible advertiser alternatives. On one occasion a very keen girl was struggling to find a late night available Taxi service in Southampton, so correctly expanding the search area she helpfully offered a number or connection in Northampton instead, believing it to be nearby!

If they can’t stand the heat they should stay out of the kitchen. One of the firemen was Spanish apparently. Hose A I believe.

Typical - nice rest for them PNE definitely won't be weary from a 90+ minutes in their legs but they'd have still had the hassle of travelling down & back up in readiness for match. I'd expect PNE will have still stayed over in the south last night so no match due to cancellation late on may mean it was to late for them to do any training or fitness work today. Still more likely beneficial for them with regards to Saturday with not playing this evening & fact they'll be able to do a full session tomorrow instead of recovery work, but they'd still have been messed around in the process. I'd be far more concerned playing Southampton at the weekend as they'd have most likely been able to train today once postponement confirmed and will be fresh as had no midweek travel to encounter.. I've always thought these things matter but never usually works out in our favour anyway! Or perhaps it just doesn't when it involves SCFC.. Leeds had a tough match last night and they play again Friday night in the Yorkshire derby v Sheff Weds, that does seem a pretty quick turnaround.. They'll still most likely beat them though, 🤞🏻 & hopefully they will!

There you go mate I couldn't let you down after you had lit the touch paper.
