Postponed due to a waterlogged pitch?!

It hasn't rained today has it?

rain started about 4.30pm and was quite heavy around 7pm, shows how bad the pitch is at the moment.

Ah, fair enough, didn't realise it was raining outside!

We don't pay less rent as far as I heard we both pay the same now due to that Town fan 'stirring things' so Town will now have to pay more so that we both pay the same!
Talk about an own goal!

F as F

On both counts

answer to heading, no, as think they playing game tomorrow now.

town forum does not even mention they are playing tomorrow yet.
and some people think this forum slow at letting fans know what happening.

It is on the Official website though which I must say is very up to date, it even has updates on games live which is superb.

Congratulations

agree thats good as keep up with matches via there all time.

After finding out the game was off last night i was shocked to say the least and did think there was something going on but after seeing the pitch it was the right decision, there was a layer of water sat on the surface, if theres any more rain between now and Sunday i can't see that being on either!

It only makes sense that we get to use it first. We are the longest serving tenants.

There was a layer of water on the surface on saturday morning, It had gone by Sunday, so its clearing quite quickly

heavy rain forcast again before weekend.

Since when did it have to be bone dry to play RL? Fair enough with soccer because the ball needs to roll but unless the surface water is deep enough to drown in we should just get on with it

One corner of the Recre at Whitehaven is regulary flooded, and the pitch up there can often be heavy underfoot. but the game still gets played.

However, they have longer grass, which will bind the pitch together better, ours is kept very short, which over the winter, does no good at all

Thinking about it, who remembers last year a ball been kicked through and it stopping dead on the wet pitch causing Leroy Joe (I think) to over run it and then allowing one of our players to touch it down, think it was the opening score.

You guys don't think this game will be called off due to the weather do you really hope it isn't.

I heard today, from somebody who works closely with the New Caterers for the East Stand, that they were told yesterday that the facilities will not be available until 2011!

I wonder if food is going to be delivered to the Stand from outside. It's been done before.

Kitchen's looked to be in place when we were been shown around the stand on saturday.

That's what I couldn't understand Brew, but this guy knows the Caterers very well. I wonder if it's to do with the kitchens in the commoners areas.

Oh, and he's a Footy fan, so he does have an interest in the Stadium, so it wasn't just a passing comment.

I was told that the main kitchens only needed some shelves putting up, which shouldn't mean they can't cook in them.

They managed to cater for hospitality on Tuesday.

Basil Fawlty has said the kitchens aren't as big as would be ideal, but that they could still manage to cater for full capacity.
