Ref obviously giving every chance to get the game on. Bearing in mind the tributes Blackpool have arranged to commemorate the life of Jimmy Armfield, the ref may be under pressure not to postpone it. Difficult one.

Not really a difficult one, I’m here and the pitch isn’t horrendous at all - ball sticky in a few patches but on a whole it’s looks ok, both teams and managers want it on, it’s a bit bloody wet - just play the game
Bowyer wants it on, Robinson wants it off. Idiot Karl.
Why? Obviously I'm not there but we play passing football and if the ball isn't rolling that will be a huge hindrance to us.
It's absolutely ridiculous that fans will have traveled up, spent money on that and potentially lodging, only for it to be called off an hour before kick off. And it's also ridiculous that a club in the football league, formerly of the Premier League, have a pitch that's in that kind of state. But Karl's job is to do what he thinks will help us win games.
Further inspection in 10 minutes. Got here at 11:45 and we’ve seen no rain, although it was pissing down in Preston and has presumably blown in. No further rain forecast.
Consuming Lytham Brewery Bitter and consuming ‘foot long Cumberland Sausages’ in the Pump and Truncheon (the only food on offer). Fingers crossed

Guessing because we play ‘passing football’ so having a pitch that doesn’t run well with the ball is why he wants it off. Blackpool pitch is shit all year round, so we should play the game and get it over and done with.
These are the games we have to win if we are serious about top 6. Come on Charlton. We get 1-0 lead early and weather the storm. Jacko comes on for last ten mins to save the points and scores a header. 2-0 Charlton.
This is from half an hour ago. Looking at Louis' videos the ball seems to roll alright, but it really bounces dead here. The latest bounce test looked much better. But I imagine different areas of the pitch are differing degrees of waterlogged.

Louis can't wait to see one of his palace heroes in a Charlton shirt
