| Gotta be a fair shout innit? Forecast is to carry on pissing down relentlessly.
Even with our virtually free state-of-the-art pitch, shorely it can only take so much agua?
Couldn't come at a better time too, I recks. |

| Depending on (an unlikely set of) results which is better - playing and fall into the bottom two or do not playing and fall into the bottom two |

| The pitch will handle it, don't worry humiliation doesn't care about the weather. It will be interesting to see whether we have turned a corner and keep up the relentless attacking or will it be a backs to the wall try not to lose game? |

| It will only be called off if the rain gets heavier and for long periods of time so that the drainage system cant cope with the water.
otherwise its on. |

| We played Chesterfield last season in a monster downpour, very nearly as bad as that which saw the Barnsley game abandoned, that lasted for hours and the pitch was fine. I don't think it is possible for the pitch to be waterlogged anymore. |

of course they can SFD a drainage system can still flood if the rain is persistent, they can only cope with so much and the water has to go somewhere. The groundsmen still have to do alot of work regardless of the system and the pitch cover to ensure the pitch is playable and they are working. |

| Are you insane? The 8000 square meters is the best drained land area in Devon and Cornwall and even it rains at an intensity of 300mm an hour and cars and houses are being washed away there will be absolutely zero problem with the pitch. |
