tommywright Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi FM Players Has anyone had a game postponed on the match day? ( for example waterlogged pitch or frozen pitch)? Tommy Wright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzydeepy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not me- but if I recall correctly, this is a new feature for FM 09. So has anyone had a postponed day, and if they have when and what is the news item? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
easternhawk2 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I had 2 games in a row postponed because my pitch was waterlogged and it was expected to be heavy rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not me- but if I recall correctly, this is a new feature for FM 09. That isn't strictly true, it used to be in older versions of CM IIRC, but it was taken out because there were problems with it causing too much fixture congestion towards the end of a season, guess they found a balance for it and brought it back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've seen games postponed due to waterlogged pitches, never had or seen one called off due to a frozen pitch which is a poor ommission IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathPalace Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 One as Ramsgate - away pitch waterlogged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-dizzle Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 This season in my Rushden save i've had 4 games postponed because of a water logged pitch. In fact, my last game was one of them. Never happened before though and its a bit of a pain, then again its useful if i have players who need more time to recover from their last match. The 30+ players lol.

Jack_Robbo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ive had acouple of frozen pitches but mainly called off due to waterlogged pitch with FC United playing at Bury's Gigg Lane. The joy of the great Manchester weather lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGLiverpool Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 My Bromley team have had 2 games postponed, and one that was postponed, went ahead, I won 2-1, then the game seemed to be non-existent, then I played the rescheduled day from when it was postponed, and won 3-2.

Nobby_McDonald Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 That isn't strictly true, it used to be in older versions of CM IIRC, but it was taken out because there were problems with it causing too much fixture congestion towards the end of a season, guess they found a balance for it and brought it back Indeed, it was last in 01/02 (which also included games being abandoned, I hope they're in 09 too). It's about time they were brought back. Though as a bigger plus, cup games can also be postponed now, which wasn't the case on 01/02. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
