tandle 309 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 the weather forecast for the weekend does not look good, heavy rain through tonight and tomorrow could be postponed maybe, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryanC 477 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 Made my usual trip up this morning Tandle (raining here, but not much). Sadly the usual spot where I can see the pitch from was fenced off (crane lifting a total eyesore of a mobile phone mast into place at the Lockwood & Greenwood end). So. Can't report a great deal...

tandle 309 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 I think it will be down to you bryan for updates if you don't mind, its lashing it down top end of Royton looks like its in for the night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clifford 991 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 It's also lashing down in Failsworth, hopefully we won't have to cancel the fixture as it won't be a good advertisement for the club Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moorside roughyed 2,960 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 Legging it down in Moorside,wind is howling as well.Pretty grim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roughyed34 2,100 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 Nowt we can do about the weather,all I hope is that if there is ANY doubt about this game being on in the morning the club do the right thing and get an early pitch inspection and decision on whether it goes ahead. We don't want a repeat of the Dewsbury fiasco. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOSH1960 560 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 I'm sure with the BBC being there, they will have an early inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryanC 477 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 In my humble opinion? Not a chance. Lagged it down since about seven and not letting up. Let's be careful out there fellas, one slip of the tongue and you can end up shopping. (Game's on until you hear otherwise...) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Naylor 2,168 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 My day starts at 8.30. A long winding journey out of Yorkcestershire towards the 'bridge via Slawit (dropping the Mrs off at work). I'll be keenly monitoring Twitter to see any updates from the club that will have been posted by me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clifford 991 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 Dave when will there be a pitch inspection Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Naylor 2,168 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 Dunno. I'm pretty certain that everyone wants the game to happen and I've got every confidence in the ground staff at Bower Fold. I'm making the trip in the morning, however, we're in the lap of the gods. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bedford Roughyed 6,972 Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Looks a bit damp under foot. Quote With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOSH1960 560 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Really feel for the groundsman at Stalybridge, that pitch took a real battering yesterday. And this rain just keeps on coming! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Naylor 2,168 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 I posted that "game is on" tweet from the ground yesterday. I wrote "definitely on" but my phone preferred "definitively" and wrote that instead. Blummin' modern technology! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
