    Is the game in danger if being called off?

    It's been raining pretty much solidly for 24 hours now. Will the pitch cope?

    Thinking that myself, it could well be called off, still p!ss!ng it down, hopefully ERs drainage system is fully operational.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    I think it'll be ok. Its forecast to ease by 1pm and there should be some sunny spells mixed in with occasional light showers between 3 and 5. I'll be surprised if it's called off.

    My son's school game going ahead despite puddles on the pitch. I'm sure ER surface is better and will cope. I certainly hope so, looking forward to seeing the team continue to play good football and secure 3pts.

    But will have an impact on game as conditions will be tricky underfoot and more likely to be mistakes .Might influenced selection ie iare these good conditions for the pace and trickery of Kennedy or not. .Is Mcgeoch available again today ?

    Pitch looks great! The electronic score boards are being connected up and there are currently two guys in the east stand drying off the seats in the front few rows with towels. Game on

    Do you mean advertising boards or have we invested in new hi tech score boards?

    In situations like this should we not have some type of cover for the pitch or is that impractical?

    Sorry for the let down. However, with our home form over the past 5 years we are maybe better to stick to one small, discrete scoreboard lol

    This Autumn fitba' is absolutely hopeless.

    Roll on the Winter - that's when real fitba' should be played.

    Nonsense. We should have played the whole season during June ,July and August , then we could spend the next 9 months at the fireside with our feet up.
