Torquay United v Chelmsford City - PP 2/4/19

[brucie]

Game off - no surprise there then. Pitch is bolloxed.

[Orange Gull]

I haven't seen anything on the club's social media or website yet?

[portugull]

The key period is 9am tomorrow until KO.
The forecast for the morning period is not too bad.
Lots of roads closed near Totnes due to fallen trees one fatality at Buckfastleigh due to fallen tree.

POSTPONED | We can confirm that Saturday's 3pm kick-off against Chelmsford City has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch after a 12:45pm pitch inspection by the match referee. #tufc #yellowarmy

BBC also have it listed as postponed.

GJ off to Chippenham tomorrow to do some spying to prepare for Tuesday?

I think that the weather might have been a factor.

[torregull]

Doubt if it would have survived even if it hadn't had all those extra matches played on it.

[DWB]

I know games are called off early for all sorts of reasons mainly due to away teams,fans travelling issues but think this postponement is slightly early as, at least here in Exeter the rain stopped lunchtime today and the strong wind has already started to dry my back garden out quite nicely?

[portugull]

The only match currently off in the whole of the National League.

I am in no doubt that the ground share is responsible because in early season the pitch was the best I have ever seen in over 60 years.

Agree the pitch WAS looking fantastic

The playing surface was destroyed during the match v Welling. The highlights of the match are still available, view it and see the state of the pitch before kick-off . . .

The heavy rain downpour 25mins before ko contributed to the messy* playing surface at the final whistle.
