davieG Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Link Robins: Foxes friendly still on Cheltenham insist that their pre-season friendly against Leicester is still set to go ahead despite the recent floods in Gloucestershire. However, it remains to be seen whether the game will be staged at Whaddon Road. The Robins, who had to switch their home game against Wolves to nearby Kidderminster at the weekend, are awaiting news from the local authorities about when the water supply at Whaddon Road will be turned back on. A club spokesman said: "We are awaiting further information but as things stand the game will definitely be going ahead. Whether that will be at Whaddon Road, it remains to be seen because without fresh running water we are not allowed to stage games. "But we do have contingency plans should the water not be put back on and we are confident that the game will still happen." Local media reports in Leicester had suggested that game would be switched to the Walkers Stadium but the Foxes have dismissed those claims. "That was never an option and it has not even been discussed. It is just not viable from the point of view of the policing situation when the stadium will be all but empty," said a Leicester spokesman.
Blue Bob Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Shame the fans cant get to see this one, but it is good that the team are still having another test so soon after the loss on Saturday.
Webbo Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Cheltenham Game Off Posted on: Mon 30 Jul 2007 Leicester City's pre-season friendly against Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road on Tuesday, July 31 has been postponed. The game will now be played at the Walkers Stadium on the same evening - behind closed doors. Water supplies have been returning to some parts of Cheltenham today (Monday) but by late afternoon Whaddon Road had no water and Severn Trent were unable to guarantee a supply in time for the match. Due to the late notice, we regret that the general public will not be able to gain access to the stadium to watch the game. Article continues Advertisement The match will kick off at 7pm. A full report will be available here on lcfc.com at 9pm.
Guest Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Absolutely amazing how trolls will spout off without having a clue. Most of the people that were flooded out were nowhere near flood planes try reading a real paper and see the scope of what happened. It's a flood plain. It's a geographical term, I believe. A flood plane is something entirely different, so different I don't believe one has been invented yet. As for calling people trolls, there's a phrase about glass houses springs to mind. One can get good, comprehensive insurance cover for one of those, highly recommended.

DB11 Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 I am glad that the game is still on for the players etc. But what will happen if you'd already bought tickets?

Fez of Mahrez Posted 30 July 2007 Author Posted 30 July 2007 Bit pissed off with this, wish a decision had been made sooner and the game re-arranged properly for the fans. This is the pre-season game I've been looking forward to the most and probably the only one I would have gone to, having family and friends who are Cheltenham fans.

I'm dead tough and everything. *cracks knuckles* *runs off to hide behind Lisa's skirt again* ...and that Blues Botherer person Leese, and him...he was talking at me dead nasty too.
Guest Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 *runs off to hide behind Lisa's skirt again* At least you're not trying to look up it this time.
Daggers Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 At least you're not trying to look up it this time. Ahh...the wonders of camera-phones.
Milky Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 I've been trying to get myself into this one. Fingers crossed!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 July 2007 Author Posted 31 July 2007 I was considering turning up with my cousin, both of us decked out in full Cheltenham Town regalia and seeing if we could blag it, but I can't be arsed. Still really disappointed with the two clubs over this one.
Milky Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 I wonder how many days before a match you need to announce the venue to run things. The police probably come into it, as well as the staff obviously.

The police probably come into it, as well as the staff obviously. Yeah I understand the reasons, I just think they could have switched the game earlier. It was patently obvious that Whaddon Road wasn't going to be fit for the game and the contingency plan could have been agreed last week instead of waiting until after the weekend. As it is, me, my cousin and my mate (both big CTFC fans) have missed out on the first chance we've ever had to see a game between the two teams.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 July 2007 Author Posted 31 July 2007 Very annoying. Hopefully we'll play them next year.
Daggers Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 I've been trying to get myself into this one. Fingers crossed! I'm not photographing upshots of you with my phone - geddoutofit!

What a beast of a word you've wheeled out there. May I borrow that from time to time?

Ric Flair Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 Consider it yours to spread around your 'hood with gay abandon. I'm going to shower Daggers with nothing but Regalia's and other sweet nothings.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 July 2007 Author Posted 31 July 2007 I'm going to shower Daggers with nothing but Regalia's and other sweet nothings. Golden regalia, I hope.
Ric Flair Posted 31 July 2007 Posted 31 July 2007 Golden regalia, I hope. Unless i've treated the maestro to a Lamb Phaal, then there could be serious trouble at mill.
