Next Home Game

Somerset · 20-11-2016, 17:13

After what I have seen and read in the past 24 hours, saw the pitch on Football on 5 last night which looked very poor with quite a few brown patches, and read in the football league paper about the pitch close to being unplayable, the weather basically has to be dry for the next home game, because if it isn't I can say no ifs or buts about it the game will be postponed due to a waterlogged pitch which I won't like much as the postponement would muck up my stats as I keep the scores of league 2 fixtures so hopefully for the next home game the weather will be dry and the game will go ahead and be played in full.

you will be able to put a P next to the fixture, and the game will be played later so will not muck up your stats simple eh

Somerset · 20-11-2016, 17:59

Ok if bad weather is forecast I will scribble out the fixture on the list I do

**{somerset**** how did this wind/up artist get back on our forum?

He turns up every winter and moans that the English weather spoils his spread sheet. If ever there was an argument for a summer season, he's it.

You're absolutely right Somerset, the match should not have been played with that amount of water on the pitch - please would you send one of your strongly worded letters to the EFL requesting that the game be replayed at a later date when the weather is likely to be drier.
Thanks in advance

Ahr aye! Not here too? This demanding re-runs. re-votes & do overs because the right result wasn't achieved "last time" is getting a tad tedious now.

Rain forecast for Monday and Tuesday, rest of week is either going to be sunny or cloudy

Just trying to appease our friend from the south, not sure if it will work - he usually only creates if we have had a game postponed, this time he's moaning even though the game went ahead but apparently the pitch wasn't up to standard & he's very concerned for next week - can't win really

As a big Yeovil fan that will not bother going the game, it will hardly be a major inconvenience would it? Mess up your stats, okay big trouble..

I know the game wasn't postponed but I feel it would have been better if the rain etc had held off until the final whistle because then the pitch would have looked a whole lot better which is what I want.

If you keep a note of the results - like the BBC does - why does it matter to you what the pitch looked like?

Or do you mark that out of 10, as well as record the score?
