It's a forecast FIVE days in advance!!

The forecast which has been created for football clubs is totally different, in fact it's light rain Friday AM and then dry Friday night + all day Saturday.

Hi Mr T is there any thoughts of turfing the cabbage patch in the middle, or is the club going to just leave it as it is.

Perhaps we could grow the cabbages til the end of the season and sell them on for a profit?

Very slight drizzle. I can't see there being a problem!

The problem is the patch around the centre circle, its been really soft and wet all week. Buzzers been working on it none stop in an effort to dry it out, when I was last up on thursday it looked soft but seemed to be drying out slowly. I know he was putting the covers on that patch over night on thursday night just in case it rained at all, and then was hoping to be able to do further work on it on it all day on friday before covering it up again to prevent it from absorbing anymore water.

I would imagine it won't be a problem and all the credit has to go to Buzzer for his titanic effort!!! The guys working like a trojan against the weather and on a surface that its really helping him at the moment. Got to say though that the rest of the pitch looks good, nice and green! Well done Buzzer!!

Baggy, I'm pretty sure that Ilyas paid the contractors directly, hence the late start on returfing the pitch. I believe that the powers that be were wanting him to give the money to the club so they could pay the contractor. Ilyas, however, insisted on being invoiced directly.
