Notts County MATCH THREAD
- Thread starter choirboy
- Start date
The tweets from Stanley have a tone that they are preparing for the worse
"We're in the middle of a spell of heavy showers. Less rain expected later but more has already fallen than forecast"
"Heavy rain again overnight (isn't it always the way?) - we'll keep you up to date with the weather as the day goes on"

....10am here in Clayton le Moors and the rain appears to be easing off. So hopefully the match will be on.
I didn't quite pass the Booze 'daily limit' last night watching Exeter v Liverpool on TV so I am hoping to surge through the barrier tonight celebrating a glorious Stanley victory today!
COME ON THE REDS
I've exceeded the daily bevvy limit many times in Clayton in the bygone days of yore. A few of the pubs are long gone now as well
Stanley tweeting game is off
Aye, very sad...
Gone are; The Oddfellows, The Lamb, The Volunteer......
but The Forts and The Old England Forever still doing well with a grand selection of Real Ales,
I usually go into The Forts on Saturdays around 6pm to celebrate Stanley's successes!
Game off again
Shining in Rishton as well Chris !... now there's a strange thing !.
Sad the game is off but would have hated to see 22 players sliding about instead of playing football whilst risking injury !... and making the entire happening little more than a lottery.
Tuesday evenings in 2016 will be fun filled methinks !.
KTF.
Looking at the photos on the Fishy site it clearly shows that the pitch would be unplayable. The rain appears to be killing off the grass as it looks very thin.
I can honestly say that I have never experienced such a prolonged period of heavy rain such as we have had over the last two months. My back lawn is usually a good comparison to the Stanley pitch and the grass on my lawn is simply disappearing and it is turning into a mudflat! It will need totally reseeding in the spring!
We will just have to play 'Catch Up' in the latter part of the season and surge into the play offs!

To me we should be looking at alternative venues to play some matches at first.
Today's league results pretty good for Stanley, and even Ipswich helped with their last minute equaliser.
Today both Burnley and Blackburn were away, I know Blackburn was pp but the point I was asking is would it not have been possible with the early call off could we have not switched to one their grounds, It would not been that inconvenient for the fans, I am sure there is a FA rule that would be against it. Assuming the host would be agreeable to us playing on their pitch. I think this point is extremely relevant given the blasting coley got for suggesting Carlisle should not be able to switch grounds. It has been an unprecedented level of rainfall, Will the FA help with grants to improve drainage.
It's not that easy i'd think. First of all it's computerised ticketing the catering then stewarding which would need to be risk assessed then policing then hospitality if there is any and staff to man the stadium.
Fine if you know well in advance but no chance at short notice
