Game's off

At least if we do go down the drainpipe we are not the only ones
Barrow called their game already... waterlogged

If my garden and surrounding area are anything to go by, there isn't a scooby's of the game going ahead today. Field Mill can't cope with this much water
Already raining and not forecast to stop until early afternoon.

As much as I want to see some footie today. I think if we play today and with the rain coming down, it would ruin the pitch for next few weeks/months, especially with a busy Xmas period.

Wouldn't be surprised if the club take the safe option and call it

Can see your point, but the whole of England and Wales has seen a lot of rain this week and in particular this morning, so the same point about ruining the pitch if we play today should apply to everyone else at our level too. Also, I thought everyone else’s pitches surely got ruined last month when they played but we didn’t vs Forest Green?

After today we’ll also have two and a half weeks for the pitch to recover before our next home game, which helps.

It’s wetter than an Otters pocket out there.
Would not be the least surprised to see this one off.
It would not be the best game if on and more than likely Won on who adapted to the conditions better.
Could be wrong however!

It's drizzling slightly. You may need a jacket.

Sutton off.
Games at Bradford, Grimsby and Forest Green have mid morning pitch inspections

If were talking Sunday League pitches, Manor Complex will have shallow puddles here & there, but be rock hard underfoot, Healdswood will be like Wembley, Forest Road will be a swamp, as will Sandy Lane, Forest Town Welfare top pitch will be very heavy but playable, bottom pitch will be like concrete.

Very disappointing. We needed a game today, to get back on track. I bet NC is not happy.

We don't have the advantage of actually walking on the pitch at 2pm to check, but the weather is warm, dry, breezy and sunny after a drizzly morning. So the club shouldn't be surprised if eyebrows are raised about the postponement. In years gone by, it would have had to be raining at kickoff time for a match to be called off. Or at least a morning of extreme rain.
After all the investment in the pitch drainage JR will be extremely disappointed when he learns how fine the Mansfield weather is.

Forest Green off, Bradford off

So 5 games off in League Two with Grimsby in the balance.

Lovely sunny afternoon for some football.

Way too early again.

It's only a few years ago we went years without a postponement. Since the new pitch we're one of the first to call it.

We've had our pants down with the new relayed pitch.
