Apparently the match referee did not want a local referee to do an earlier pitch inspection, as he wanted to make the decision himself, which meant that by the time he arrived VCD had already made the journey.
Common sense obviously did'nt prevail as if it had an earlier decision would have been made.
Apparently there was a lot of underlying water which made most of the pitch quite marshy. This could have meant that the rollers which are more designed for clearing puddles of water from areas might have had little effect. This is probably why they never got brought out.
Frustrating for those who made the effort to go to the game but unfortunately out of our hands.
