Beauchief Owl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Persistent light drizzle in S8. The forecast was for heavy showers later but there are no dirty black clouds around. Would not think there is any chance of postponement ATM. Presumably our drainage system was considerably upgraded when the pitch was laid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls66 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hammering down in S26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaddle Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It will go ahead like others have posted. Bristol earlier in the season was this and we just had a delayed kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S13-OWL-B16 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Can we have a rain watch? Like The Star insists on doing with snow every winter? Heavy rain spotted in S8, S9 and S13. Anywhere else? Postcodes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it like in Sheffield? Hoping there isn't a 19:00 pitch inspection and I have to head back down to come back again tomorrow night! Are you on your way?

Owl At Risk Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 If we hadn't had this rain they would have had the sprinklers on all day anyway. Been dry as a nun's chuff for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We have had the 2 driest months ever in Sheffield so surely it can take an inch of rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Our pitch can take water so much so I guarantee we will be turning the sprinklers on about 6.30pm to moisten it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) The rain is not as loud on the glass roof above me. Gone from annoying bounce to soothing flow. Edited May 17, 2017 by flo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaldD Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just means they won't have to turn the sprinklers on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
