It's been raining all night here. Even if the ref had a thought of starting the game I doubt it would have gone 90 minutes

I agree with you totally Dave , I don't think it would have run to full time , I am sure the groundsmen have done their very best , good for them !

its a knocking bet, rain that came down after kick off time would never have completed the game, Plus slippy pitch, can't afford injuries in key positions, also too many players on 4 bookings. very easy to pick up another on slippy pitch, so whilst i was sick it was off, was only sensible thing to do. IMHO.

Probably less than thirty miles, but as daft as it may seem the East Lancs ( Accy) gets more rain I am sure than either Bury or Rochdale. Plus as stated elsewhere the make up of the pitches will be completely different.
Not to sure about the water gathering machine though. Ok for drying off a cricket sqaure but hard work on an area 115 x78 or near enough. Keep going Buzzer last time I was up there the playing surfaced played and looked good.

It can even be more localised than that. The heavy downpour that hit the ground between 4pm & 5pm had turned to light drizzle by the time it got to the town centre

Weâ€™ll spend to end pitch pain, says Accrington Stanley chief (From Lancashire Telegraph)

VALAIRIAN · 25-11-2009, 18:53

Part and parcel of the overall development I would have thought....

Mr Matthew · 25-11-2009, 20:03

But why does the pitch have poor draining???=Tinpot methods used in the past.

We were the only game in the league/conference to be called off, not good enough and more lost revenue, how many new shirts would we have sold

maccawozzagod · 25-11-2009, 20:44

because the ground is built on an old clay pit?
