It's been persistently raining, wouldn't surprise me if it is called off. In fact very surprised it's still on at this time. Still, 3 points is all that matters.

Be surprised if Hurst is playing, he was in park lane with Marsh at 2am last night and on the beers so not the ideal preparation for a game?!

Wow! What a great attitude. Either he was expecting the game to be off, or he doesn't give a sh*t that he has a match today.
Even if the game was called off I would expect the team to report for an extra training session!

Hope that helps!

Seem to recall the club saying there's no pitch inspection then the game being called off at the last minute. Lincoln last season?
No news on the OS is not good for long distance supporters.

Or else he knows that he isn't playing today ? Nicho's been 'banging on' about discipline, so if Hursty is in today's squad I expect Nicho will already have been informed about this !But if he hasn't been selected today for whatever reason, then he hasn't done anything wrong, has he ?

Just been on pitch. It's waterlogged. Would be surprised if this is on.

ansafone message on club landline says 'today's match is not postponed & will go ahead as scheduled'.

Heard that there's a pitch inspection at 11:30. Can someone confirm?

The wet weather will not suit us at all, our young team stand no chance!

Ref is currently checking the pitch.

Stood next to Ref. Pitch is very waterlogged in places. He just bounced the ball and it didn't bounce.

Got until 1 when there will be another inspection.

There are 15 men out there working on it so fingers crossed.

thanks for updates. Obviously this is the best place to get information ! I have to travel shortly after one o'clock, so hoping for good news !

In discussion now......

I have 30secs before my train, anything please?????

Need to work on one side of the pitch a bit more and then should be ok.
