For heaven's sake, you
cannot keep serious rain off a football pitch with covers!! It's not like a (6 asterisks) tennis court. You need to roof the stadium as at Cardiff, or erect a tent that covers the whole thing including the stands. Covers work with frost, not rain.
Yes, it probably/possibly should have been postponed earlier. But that is not the club's sole decision. As you have pointed out, there will now have been a six week gap between home games - this is
not a disgrace, but it is a potential financial nightmare, new backing notwithstanding.
