haz32 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Matches get postponed due to bad weather. Being a Scottish football fan, in a lot of seasons the weather causes a lot of matches to be postponed, and it can cause a lot of problems with fixture congestion later in the season, but it just occurred to me that I haven't seen it in FM. Is it in the game, and if so how common is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Whippy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's in the game. I get it most winters during my lower league save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QWERTYOP Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Happened to me (at Bury) a number of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd say it happens too often in lower leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz32 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think it must happen a lot less in FM than in real life then! But then again, if we were getting backlogs like we saw in the SPL last season, people would be going crazy on these forums saying "look at all these fixtures, sort it out SI!".

Koki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Happens a lot in German 3rd division and lower and real life. Haven't noticed a match postponed due to weather conditions during my LLM game from division 6 to division 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevvy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah it's in the game, though you rarely get say 7 matches in the same league postponed on the same day, and sometimes the reasons can seem odd (eg 1 place can be heavy snow, another place not far away can be a waterlogged pitch).

Andrew Paeth Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It does happen quite a bit in the lower leagues. BSB S/N are really tough in December when the FA trophy, FA cup and league are in full swing. I always wonder why the matches are rescheduled so close together for weather or cup advancement when the end of the season has you playing one match a week with a lot of open slots. It's not uncommon to play 6-7 matches in a 12-13 day window. When your payroll is only 3-4 thousand and three guys are out injured it's especially challenging. Maybe that's the way it is in RL; I never followed the non-league schedules enough to say for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It is & sort of isn't in the game. All we see are the occasional call off due to a waterlogged pitches, what we never see are matches called off due to frozen pitches or high winds (I remember hearing about a game in Scotland where iirc Andy Goram kicked the ball out only to see it sail back past him when the wind caught it). The frozen pitch one has bugged me for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Happends a lot in the winter in the BSBP. Have you forgotten a couple of recent winters? It's great that finally a number of matches get postponed on the same day now, rather than just the odd one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Happens in France a lot. I've seen a few PSG games postponed due to snow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things Could Get Messi Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 When I managed Wrexham I had 4 home matches in a row postponed because of a waterlogged pitch! At least FM gets the weather right for Wales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
