New Years Day weather/pitch/Mail says game off

Post by Jock » Mon Dec 30, 2013 11:57 pm

With the amount of rain there has been today and more forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday there must be some doubt about the Wukky match taking place.

Standing water in areas.

It's a must for the club (financial) & team (confidence) that this game goes ahead though.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Given that the pitch normally drains pretty well once the rain stops, is there any indication of this happening in the forecasts?

Forecast seems to be a bit more rain overnight & tomorrow, but as Rich say's - the pitch does drain very well.

Rain forecast again, also strong wind :( but that may help dry it a bit

Mind, the tide is pretty high in the clay pit next door at present. Wonder if that has an effect upon drainage?

A bit of standing water might improve the football quality!

Kicking around the platform at Lancaster, that is good to learn. Thank-you.
