A quick check of the weather forecast would have seen what was coming so had it been called off earlier, it would have saved much inconvenience for your fans, and inparticular the Widnes fans, who wasted money out of their wages travelling a fair distance only to witness what became an embarrassment to the sport.

For the record, Widnes fans have been slaughtering the Wakefield club on other sites over this.

Castleford showed you how it should be done on Sunday with promptly postponing the match before the Pie fans would be making their way over. Maybe that's another lesson you could learn off Cas.

Can't blame Wakefield for this. The match day commissioner makes the decision on calling off the game.

The Liverpool fans of RL??

You've come on here to spark an argument rather than a debate or conversation. Try growing up.

Funny how expert those fans that didn't attend the game and don't actually support either Wakefield or Widnes can be.
I went. Was happy with the decision to play. I was happy with the decision to abandon.
The pitch was fine. The players said they were ok with it.

So in summary. Go away.

Don't need to be an expert to see or know what the weather was like in areas not too far away in the hour or so before kickoff.

So again, don't be so sensitive as if it's an attack on the club because as has been pointed out it's the match commissioner and ref who were in charge of the decision.

Why are you even bothered, in what way does it effect you. The match official made both decisions, both were correct as unlike you he doesn't have the gift of hindsight, now give it a rest.

Just having a debate on a discussion board, like I said no need to be so sensitive about a view.

So saying things in your post like -

The Wakefield club, and to a lesser extent the referee, showed a lot of ineptitude regarding Saturday's farce

only to witness what became an embarrassment to the sport.

For the record, Widnes fans have been slaughtering the Wakefield club on other sites over this.

Castleford showed you how it should be done on Sunday with promptly postponing the match before the Pie fans would be making their way over. Maybe that's another lesson you could learn off Cas.

Nah you didn't jump on here for a bite, did you?

By the way, Cas didn't show us anything, just like the other abandoned match the other week against Hudds that got rearranged for a couple of days later. Unlike Weldon road's pitch, ours was green and ready to play on an hour before KO by which time the Widnes fans had already set off. Once everyone arrived the club did everything they could to get the game on and please the Match Commissioner but mother nature beat us. But hey don't let that get in the way of your uninformed rant and who's the sensitive one?
