I just wondered how the pitch has coped with the storm, and with more rain expected what's the chance of the match getting 'rained off'? Anyone had any news?
Xmas day and boxing day due to be dry, also if it's just windy tomorrow that should help dry the pitch out.
Not sure about that according to the latest weather reports I've seen. It's the same tomorrow and similar, but not so severe, on Christmas Day.
Looking out the window at the moment, with the rain lashing down and the wind howling around, surely there's got to be some doubt about the game, particularly given the state of our pitch.
All I ask is call the blooming thing off early if it is in doubt and save me a long and needless drive. I shall be well p***ed off if we get a postponement at about 11.30.
You just know that an unknown megalomaniac referee is having orgasms as we speak at the thought of postponing the match at noon once everyone has travelled to the area.
D' Urso loved it.
Rather than giving a ref a power trip there is an ever inccreasing temptation with the persistent rain just to not bother to travel. Won't matter what he does then.
Slightly happier news from Sue though: "I haven't heard of any problems regarding the Valley pitch. It is actually only one pitch at the training ground that floods like this and that is because there is an underground stream runs the length of it, but have never seen it so bad. This time the whole width and 75% of the length of the pitch is under quite deep water."

It's just the water feature for the Pierre Bolangi Memorial Garden....
With a bit of luck, Paddy would have got some more for Christmas, as just the two of them could take some time to work.
May be a different story on Sunday.
It cut up terribly today and there were areas all over the place where the ball was sticking. When the ball does run it bobbles all over the place.
No two ways about it, the pitch is bloody awful and needs some investment sharpish.
