Could the game realistically be called off or is this all just message board panic?
It’s absolutely hammering down and has been for a while. Unless we’ve got covers on, I can see it being called off
I am working near Sparrows Lane today and it is hammering down, plus we just had thunder. However The Valley has superb drainage so I reckon the game will be fine, You would need heavy rain around 5pm to cast a doubt.

If it’s waterlogged of course but I don’t know whether the pitch has been covered or is being worked on. If it is in doubt a pitch inspection needs to be undertaken ideally before the away fans set off which will probably need to be 1.00 o’clock ish to get down from Sheffield by 4.30

It was raining lightly when I went to collect a duplicate season ticket at the ground at 10:30 (zero queue), then it stopped, then pissed down in Deptford and has now stopped.
I did ask a staff member if the covers were on but he didn’t know. I think it should be fine

You should’ve asked the person to pop out and check for us and offered to cover their post 😉.
I’m deeply envious of all you peeps attending the game. Travel safe and savour the moment. I’ll be raising a glass to you all in front of the telly (well, laptop actually). Enjoy my dear friends. COYR.
Travelled down from Leicestershire early this morning. Now parked up close to The Valley, roads are dry and sun is out, but still clouds around. Off to collect ST duplicate from ticket office. Already quite a few people here, including a Wednesday fans coach parked up near the old Antigaligan! Burger vans are up and running as well. Looking forward to this, but a long day as left home at 9 am!

Guess at some stage they'll need to get the covers off in ready for the game which is when the pitch will start to suffer
My problems aren't over either. Got my girlfriend a ticket but couldn't get one next to me so I'll be asking six people to budge up a space. Daunting

Leuth has a girlfriend?!
Does Naby know?! He will be distraught.
