' I feel for over 1,000 Bolton fans '

Sat Jan 21, 2017 4:02 pm

Over 1,000 Bolton fans travelled all the way to Southend today and it got cancelled,it took most of them nearly five hours to get there.

A near 500 mile round trip in the lower divisions.



From Southend FC We apologise for the inconvenience caused today! It was the referee's decision with the players safety paramount

Looking at that pitch a local ref should have inspected pitch before fans set off for game no excuse to delay decision as it was clearly unplayable from early morning :roll:

I remember games being called off by local ref as league ref would get there to late and fans were considered in those days. :cry:
