Williams went off with an ankle injury against Chester so might be doubtful.

I'm tempted to drive down tomorrow, as this is either going to be a real good occasion or the real last chance to see Torquay before relegation.

Is there any hope it will be on?

Brucie - I hope he can shake it off. If he cannot play who do we play instead?

Kernowgull - weather is ok at the moment, just a little drizzle. I think it is all about what happens later tonight into tomorrow morning. It seems like the heavy rain is tonight and then light rain in the morning, so I'd say it will be on if I had to guess.

A couple of machines have been purchased to help remove the standing water, so with that and some more work today hopefully Chris will work his magic and get the pitch playable, its a must play, must-win game tomorrow, just to build the momentum if nothing else.

The machines will need to be up to scratch as the rain has returned. Shame they weren't in place last Saturday. Hopefully they have been paired up front with a couple of pitch covers.
Hoping to see a win by any method should the game be on.

Fortunate we could borrow the drying machine from Tiverton. This game needs to be on. Our squad does not have the strength in depth to cope with more fixture congestion.

Good of the club to keep us updated for once though!

it's 05:50 & it hasn't stopped Hissing it down all night, I'd say check the web site before you leave cos it's got to be doubtful , my back garden lawn is under an inch of water right now, & it hasn't been stood on for weeks.

Exeter game currently on with no pitch inspection planned. If it's off then surely it must be a different kind of rain in Torquay.

Halifax v Gateshead
Tranmere v Solihull
Both off

I’ve got a feeling there going to work a miracle and the game will be on today.

Is it looking ok? I've got to leave in 2 hours to make it safely. Forecast/reports aren't good but I'm really keen to get there

Pitch inspection planned at 12:30

I'd be amazed if the Barrow game wasn't postponed. Need to get the game on today Torquay as a win would crank the pressure right up on Solihull etc. Woking have a manager who just speaks nice and clearly and seemingly little else judged on where his team are in the league. He has such a non managery name too.

Anthony Limbrick.

Sounds like a Pulitzer prize winner rather than a footy manager. As for Bobson Bawling their midfielder, I won't even attempt a go at guessing that.

Of course, names have nothing to do with what they could do to Torquay today if the will takes.

Intriguing game if it goes ahead.
