Pitch for tomorrow

carlmason · 27-12-2009, 14:12

Hi folks. Just asking for your opinions. Ive Seen the website message about standing water. For anyone who went this morning, how bad is it and from what youve seen is more likely to be on than not?

Id hate this to be off because we will have had no football all christmas.

aint bin near mate, but heard minus3 predicted on local radio- tonight

so its up in the air is my reckoning.

I am no expert, but there seems to be a lot of standing water! Some other Webbers who where there may have a better idea, over to you Mr. T, K.S.H., or Redash!!!

Just depends on how much rain we get overnight. definitely 50/50

11 oclock inspection was bad enough for Morecambe for us but for tomorrow it looks like a definite no unless its declared playable first thing tomorrow. much as I'd like to head down, I'm working Tuesday so unless it's deffo on I'm not goin to risk it as the latest I can leave is 9.30

Aye, it was clear as far as I know, but there will be an inspection tomorrow morning at 11am. Hoping a few who can turn up at 9am to help with final bits.

I've just got in from work sadly, so I'll be off to bed shortly!

Early reports from the ground are that most of the standing water has gone, but there is still about a quarter of the pitch with snow on it!! As much help as possible is required, cannot make it this morning, as my wife is hitting the sales....

She has until 12:00 P.M.

Get your priorities right matey. I thought you would have gone shopping with her and forgot about the game.

VALAIRIAN · 28-12-2009, 09:54

Nice one matey, that is why she has gone early

Wynonie Harris · 28-12-2009, 10:53

Don't talk to me about sales. sitting here with baited breath, waiting on the ref's decision. Will it be a journey to the Crown...or Market Street and the Arndale with Mrs H?

sparkie · 28-12-2009, 11:05

Stanley v Bury
Monday 28th Dec 2009

Pitch update - GAME ON

The match referee has inspected the pitch at 11am and is happy that as long as the work continues on one or two areas of the pitch that have been affected by the frost then this afternoon's match against Bury will go ahead.

Representatives from both clubs were in attendance and are both happy for the game to take place. Once again the club is extremely grateful to the volunteers who turned up this morning to help clear the areas in and around the ground of snow and frost and to ensure that this afternoon's game goes ahead.
