Surprise, surprise they don't want to reschedule it as they don't want it to interfere with their plans, they would rather jet off to France for a jolly than honour a local legend.
A much better way of honouring Ike would be to play the match between Town and Oldham. the two teams he played for.

yeah best decision made all round. town couldnt get a team together because of injuries and suspensions for the original date and to be fair haven shouldnt have to change already organised plans. so making it the 1st league meeting is the best call by both clubs.

Indeed the fuss made by them lot down the road is simply staggering.
Circumstances just conspired against it being played pre season this time round, no big deal, and certainly no
need for petty point scoring by some of the debt dodgers supporters. At least their
board seem to be ok with it having issued a sensible joint statement along with Town board. A competitive league game will be a fitting match to decide the trophy winners.

Haven4ever and others come on here and go back to the Haven forum and post so here's one for them. Just what exactly could Town do to have had this game played over the Christmas period given the circumstances they found themselves in. Players had to go for operations during the close season period and some only a week or two ago. Anyone who has had an operation knows that they need a period of recuperation and then they need another period before any bodily contact is possible. Add on to that the fact that we have two players banned for the early part of the season and that our full squad only amounts to 20 players, where do they suppose we would get a team?
Widnes are in their pre-season training and friendly matches and so cannot loan us players until late in January. So come on, what is the answer? I am sure that both clubs have been in touch with each other and no doubt Town will apologise for not ringing H4E and Choccy direct to keep them in the picture. I have no doubt at all that when Town play at Widnes on 13th January, some of the Widnes players will appear in Town shirts in front of their own coaching team, etc, as part of their pre-season work.

"its a disgrace". thats the title of the thread on Deludedfans.com about the news of the game being off. i think it was started by the same brightspark who started the dowes to the bulls thread. its a very funny read. their delusion has no boundaries lol.

Leave them to it, we don't need to justify anything to the tards down the road.
Let them have their little bits of smug satisfaction. If you were a haven fan you would latch onto any small thing after the last few years bankruptcy, defrauding the taxpayer, losing 5 times to their bitterest rivals in one season losing a big chunk of stadium money and world cup fixtures to Town, never winning any meaningful silverware in their entire history etc, etc I could go on but we should let them be as they aren't too fortunate

Keith, thats way too much of a sensible post for those down the road to understand.
I'd put money on them not even getting to the end of the post before launching into their bestest reply with lots of insults, capitals and exclamation marks just to show how great their reply is.
Watch this space for some quality debate on the subject

They always get a bit excited before we play them & get a bit boisterous, then we stuff them and it all goes quiet again (think it happened five times last season)
It's just a bit of disappointment coming out on the threads on their part, they think they can stuff us and start calling themselves the Pride of Cumbria again, seeming to forget they robbed their own supporters and local community when they folded and emerged from the ashes "squeaky clean".
I mean its their cup final every time we play them isn't it, playing their bigger local neighbours with a history of success.
I am sure they will forget about it in a week when the next rumour comes along and they hit the keyboards, and they will come along end of March.

Some of the rubbish they come out with is unbelievable. Now, if H4E was sceptical he would say that it was a calculated move by Town not to say we were playing Widnes on 13th January in order that they couldn't arrange a home friendly match with someone else!!!! Of course, I think he's saying that he's not sceptical, so that's alright!!!
Do they not think that just like themselves Town could do with what would have been a share of the gate money? Why would any Championship club throw that sort of money away if they could possible avoid it?

Its hilarious seeing them attempt to take some kind of moral high ground over this, though I suppose its pretty much all they have to cling to at the moment after a few years of being a disgusting club shitting all over everyone.

It's no surprise considering they slag off every other team that has suffered financial problem, yet seem to forget the antics their tax-dodging lot got up to.

Great decision not to play the Ike game yesterday, no doubt it would have been called off,and the weather is only going to get worse over the next few days. I hope the players all enjoyed their Christmas, and didn't eat too many mince pies !!
Happy New Year to all my fellow Townies and players, see you all at Swinton on the 3rd of Feb.
