Another way to alienate fans and lose revenue. Understand your customers. Surely the club understand to importance of making this decision public as soon as possible for those travelling.

Jesus wept. The club had a breaking news box on the front page of the OS within a few minutes of the referee giving the go ahead. That's a "simple one line statement" while they update the main story box.

Or the sun shines continuously for three days prior to the game and then 6 inches of rain falls on the morning of the match..

Communication has never really been a strong point of the club. In the age of modern technology with access to the internet available everywhere - hoe difficult can it be to put up a simple one line statement.

Another way to alienate fans and lose revenue. Understand your customers. Surely the club understand to importance of making this decision public as soon as possible for those travelling. I will never understand why clubs don't call off games the night before - I personally would rather do something with my day rather than waiting for someone to play Russian roulette with my day. Come on TUFC - must do better! I share the Morecambe fans frustration having travelled all the way to Crewe on the advice fro Crewe that the game was on only to find the team coach coming the other way 10 minutes before getting to the ground. Only to arrive, be told the game was off and then have to turn the car around and drive straight back.

Come on Football League this is one if my major gripes and we must sort it out as the weather is not going to go away!

Now on OS

Now confrimed and I have phoned the club - Game IS ON!!

Morecambe official on twitter have confirmed that the game is on, I'd wish the club would be a little more forward in telling us what was going on!!

Still not saying the game is on according to the recorded message on the phone which still refres to the pitch inspection.
Is the game DEFINATELY on - what did they say when you spoke tem. Still no reply from the ground. I have to travel and need to make a decision within the next fifteen minutes. If its not confirmed anywhere I won't be going - four of us making the trip thats will be another £100 + the club will lose.
