Many supporters complained on Saturday to the stewards, but nothing could be done.
The tented refreshment area was sodden and the earth floor was inches under water.
The covered standing area was not fit for purpose and the covered seated area was unfit for habitation. The seats were wet through and the all metal stand was cold and damp.
The toilets were at the other end of the pitch(100 yards away).
The hot food and drinks cabin (also 100 yards away) had all the sauces, napkins , condiments etc out in the rain and most were unuseable.
Yes this was a very wet day but there should be no excuses!

Something else to consider:
During the abandoned match, the ref stopped play for a couple of minutes to discuss abandoning the match due to conditions. Nevertheless, he played on.
Nonetheless, when the 45 minutes were up, he did not advise the 4th official of the time to add on for stoppages but instead blew the whistle. The assumption was that it was half-time and everybody trooped off.
However, it was reported by FGR on their website that "The rain continued to come down after the restart and there was no further chances before the man in the middle ended the game with no added time, swiftly informing the decision to abandon the game."
Why is this significant? Well, FGRs T's & C's state: 5.4 In the event of abandonment of the Match at any time up to and including the half time whistle you will be entitled to use the ticket you have purchased to gain free entry at a future home match, subject to any and all applicable terms and conditions.
The rule that gave the referee discretion on whether to play additional time was amended in the last couple of years to make it mandatory to add time for stoppages. But this was an experienced referee who know what he was doing and had no intention other than abandoning the match when he blew the whistle - else he would have played the additional time.
On the other hand, whatever the situation, FGR's T's & C's clearly allow for the possibility that the referee will abandon the match at the time of blowing for half-time.
Somewhat ironic then that they are not honouring their T's & C's given the current spat with Bolton?

Keeping Bolton afloat? I don't care a jot about Notlob, Big Yella. And if you thinkI'm Ken you've certainly got the wrong fella'
But it's OK, I get it. It's only a tenner and if you don't mind getting fleeced for a tenner to support your own team then it's not a big deal.

The club have put TVs with a 30 second delay on them to accommodate the thimble bladdered amongst the Stags support.
