    I'm here as previously said. Inspection taking place. Ball rolling fine, but not bouncing well.

    Must be promising if they're happy to start the Inspection earlier than planned?

    Seems these days that if there's the prospect of playing on anything but a perfect playing surface then people shit their pants - including refs. 

    A few bald patches or a pitch holding a bit of water causes mayhem.

    The managers must be debating it out now I guess

    I’d not want to risk players in a game that may not finish.

    Jn the ground. Pitch looks great. But two blokes with brushes are pushing a lot of water about.

    Drizzling at the moment with no wind at all.

    That does not sound promising.

    Game going to be a farce.… nothing to do with form, league position.….

    It’s stupid to have an inspection this late! A decision should have been made at noon

    Going to be a real kick in the balls for anyone who has travelled if this gets called off  - and I genuinely sympathise with you - but this could easily turn out into a farce and someone get injured if it goes ahead.

    A bit OTT mate. The wind's dropped and the pitch looks OK from the photos. Hardly a mud patch.

    The ball not moving across the pitch you can't play in that..

    A weather front which brought the torrential rain hadn't reached Crawley at noon.

    Feel for the fans. Maybe not the worst thing for the squad in terms of rest and recovery.

    Just as well really. With all that water we would have had to use all our subs
