Mole Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Definately possible - although I guess we'll just have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davet30 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Definately possible - although I guess we'll just have to wait and see If it gets cancelled rather than abandoned a little ways in like the Coventry game will we have to pay that extra 5 pounds?

boston-owl Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Absolutely pouring down here and looks like loads to come http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaffOwl Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 doubt the game will go ahead now.. a lot more rain than the Coventry match... hope SWFC make a statement early to avoid people making unnecessary travel... it would be a complete farce if it went ahead again and got called off mid way through. Was really looking forward to a match but if it did get called off the positive is that hopefully the team will be better prepared for the Steel city derby. Just out of interest...there was rumours that the under soil heating was knackered last time... with the amount of raining falling could the system still move this water away??? or for down pours like this would, SWFC look to take care of the pitch by using a cover like in Cricket? obviously a huge cover!! ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wincoowl25 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 we laid Leon Clarke on the pitch all night so the pitch is quite dry he soaked up most of the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr_bob Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Just keep an eye on the OS website - they'll be sure to tell us in good time if the game is to be postponed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's p1ssng down here in Middlewood, I am not going, so I hope it's postponed. Gives more time to prepare for the derby. The last thing we need right now is a home defeat on pens or extra time, the possability of injuries on a soaking pitch etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus making Saturdays game a non-specticle (that doesn't look right). Saying that 2 poo poo teams in a local derby, it's gonna be throw anyway.
