There's been a lot of rain over the last few days and very heavy yesterday and today.
Likely to be more showery than prolonged spells of heavy rain tomorrow.
Don't know about the covers?

......... and more heavy rain forecast for later today apparently. Covers ??? We can't even afford a couple of umbrellas, let alone covers. I would think that tomorrow's match going ahead is very doubtful.

So hypothetical if it is called off, we moved the game from Tuesday to Saturday to generate more income through attendance, then suddenly we will be faced paying there travel/accommodation costs if called off.

our groundsman has tweeted a photo of the pitch ready cut & marked out for the game tomorrow; the intention is to play.

Great stuff

Has the weather been that bad down there? I thought I saw the other day it was warm and sunny!

The game will be on and we'll get away with a 2-2 draw. I hope.

COYY!

I think that was on September 12th, Phil ........ This week, it's been hissing down almost non stop since Tuesday and there's more heavy rain forecast for the early hours of Saturday morning. If the groundsman can get the pitch passed fit for the game tomorrow, he should be re-named Canute.

By the way moderators, I think the Forum clock is still on Summer Time ?

I used to look forward to the games but I've lost all interest now, I fully expect us to lose, however I will be in attendance to get behind the team! 0-3

Got enough clocks, watches, televisions, dvd players, microwaves to change every 6 months. Can't you do it for us?

Still torrential rain
no info on Official site yet

Have just rang the club who have said the game is "ON". No pitch inspection is planned as they anticipate the rain will stop by 11.00.

Hope that helps!

Music to my ears!

I anticipate that I will be drenched right through by the time I get to plainmoor so nothing but a win is acceptable for me!

Come on you yellows!!
