I think it is a disgrace that Torquay have had 2 home games in a row postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, if both the Bury and Northampton games on 8 and 11 Feb respectively are postponed due to the same reason, I will post off a letter to the club asking for the remaining home games to be played at Home Park, Plymouth where the drainage is better and should ease fixture congestion.

I also think it's a disgrace that it's rained so heavily for so long. can you please advise who I should complain to about the rain, it's just so damn inconsiderate

Admins please delete thread, obvious bored Plymouth fan, wish we could all pay 0.007p for a Premiership standard pitch.

Why delete thread? It's a good thread and I'm not a plymouth fan and yes I think home games should be moved to HP if games at Plainmoor keep getting postponed

Imagine if Argyle lost a few more games and found themselves near the wrong end of the table, would any Argyle fans turning up to watch the Torquay games at Home Park support the Gulls, or their opponents..??

Bad idea..

Yes, what a disgrace it is that we have had some of the heaviest rain "showers" in years dumped over the south west corner of the UK.

Not sure if you've seen the pictures of the intense flooding recently, where rivers have burst their banks and totally flooded the whole area around, but it's been fairly bleak.

A couple of weeks ago somebody on here posted the amount of rainfall dumped on Plainmoor in the recent weeks - the fact that we have lost two games to the conditions is no shock - the fact the pictures of the ground have shown it looking almost playable is testament to the work done both in the summer and in the recent weeks.

Yes, he is a Plymouth fan, and clearly not from Somerset, a county hit worse than most from recent flooding, he certainly wouldn't on here bitching about a few lost games.

I can't think of anywhere else as Exeter's drainage is bad and Bristol City or Yeovil is just too far, Plymouth haven't had a game off due to a WP for 4 years.

First class kn*b head

Standard mods won't remove the thread

Pointless debate

It's rained a lot

The figures of rain fall were given on another thread

Are you really that stupid?

Oh wait

Plymouth fan

Or even more stupid is the fact your name has 'Somerset' in it - half of the place is under water!

I'm happy to wait until the Plainmoor pitch has dried out and it's not so cold, and save the expense of travelling to Cornwall..

I'm a Yeovil fan and I don't like to see teams have 2 home games in a row postponed due to bad weather as it causes fixture congestion in the leagues which I hate to see.

Here is an idea,

No one cares for your opinion, take a look out te window it's raining, don't see our postponements impacting on Yeovil!

No they are not but it's causing fixture congestion in league two, the season could end up getting extended at this rate.

I know it's under water, on the levels, where I live, near Yeovil, it isn't too bad
