Agreed it has not stopped snowing for about 6 hours now.This has landed on saturated ground. We had plenty of snow last weekend and many heavy periods of rain since so I am not surprised that the match is off.
Yeah add me in to the sceptical crowd aswell.
Pretty sure the conditions leading to the Carlisle and Oldham games earlier this month were far worse and those two got played so leads me to think it wouldâve been a weak team todayâŚNo Ade or Jules and possibly some injuries so adds with DC being even more bitty than usual in his pre match chat leads me to think there wasnât a huge amount done to stop the pitch being waterlogged.
As said though it will be interesting to see a few teams make up one of their spare games so you get a clearer picturer of what is needed to get in the top 7 and given a few are playing each other above it might look as hard as we think. Harder though selling two first team players first thing on Monday though.
Itâs been bashing it down all night, weather here is absolutley gash.
We dont usually have problems with water logging but Iâm really not arsed theyâve called it off. I suspect the forecast has also been taken into account as its pretty grim this afternoon.
Game would be on if we could sell tickets mind
Donât you mean last thing on Monday!
Odd that Albions going ahead though, wouldnât you say?
They ay got wimmin playing on theirs though, digging it up with their long nails when they fall over.
Sad to think of all those hundreds of pies going to waste thoughâŚ
They donât have THAT many when they have a full crowed
Canât see any mention of the Villa Womenâs match tomorrow being off.
Presumably the less than 5% chance of precipitation overnight will improve things immeasurably.
Iâm obviously very interested in that!
Not to mention playing in high heels.
I paid for my iFollow registration to watch the game before noticing it was off
Presumably that will carry over to the re-arranged fixture.
Can someone confirm for me that that is the case?
I think it carried over last time it happened, if not then the club may provide a code for you if the EFL decide to be awkward.
Thanks, Rob. I presume I will be able to use the info they email to me to âcash inâ my âsubscriptionâ whenever the re-arranged fixture takes place.
I was just going on the fact that my back gardens held up and Iâm 3-4 miles away from the actual venue not having an opinion from 100 miles away so I think itâs a valid point I donât put special seeds down or have a groundsman to look after it so was just a little bewildered.Donât clubs usually post pictures on Twitter etc if itâs waterlogged itâs waterlogged I still think DC has made 100 or more trips from the changing rooms with a bucket filled with water each time but thatâs just me that ok isnât it mate surely?
The pitch at the Hawthorns doesnât look waterlogged. Just sayingâŚ
Undersoil Heating
Better Drainage
In comparison, Solihull had their game postponed also which is probably a fairer comparison to our pitch Iâd have thought.
and if there wasnt anything to moan about they would probably be moaning about the fact thereâs nowt to moan about!!
I thought undersoil heating was for a frozen pitch? Maybe it also boils the water away?
Reminds me of a old women I use to know always told people to go and âboil their headsâ
If the clubâs website was the only source of information, weâd be none the wiser as to why the game has been postponed.
