Don't bother turning up, cos the game is off

Was Bignall eligible for this one ?

They should throw them out the cup Any professional club that can't maintain a playable pitch should be folded. Carlisle were under a flowing river but by the saturday got their game on.

seem to recall a game against Leicester that was was called off at the madstad, should we have been folded??

They should switch the tie, tbh.....what if it still doesn't get played when the 3rd round starts?!

Yep, Burnley, game finally played 3 days later and we won 3-2

BAsically what they have decided is...Stockport requested switching it to Torquay, the FA don't ideally want that, so they have set a date of next Tues for the match, which Stockport are trying to find another ground in Cheshire to play the game (most likely Macclesfield) if that can't happen for any reason they can again request to switch it to Plainmoor Final decision is being made Friday.

Professional clubs should have a pitch in reasonable order, some of them are bordering on a disgrace and Stockport's takes the piss.

if had been played the next day it would have been ok, Stockport have had their last 3 games (2 v Torquay) called off due to the state of the field. Nobody would care if they went anyway.

It's Sales Sharks' fault - they rent the ground out to Stockport.

Indeed - and they've had their own troubles with the pitch recently too:
