Weather watch - pitch inspection 9.45am GAME OFF

[Beano]

Today's latest forecast, heavy rain arrives in Mansfield around 7am Saturday and goes around midday Sunday.

Excellent. I’m flying back from LA on Saturday evening. Should knock an hour off the flight.

Oh have you been in the US, you should have mentioned it

The only man on Stagsnet with a passport apparently.

Wasn't he in the navy or something?

[part time pete]

Just started raining

[Upper West]

Is it heavy rain? The forecast only shows light rain during the day but almost 50mph winds.

I am out of the country so would not mind a postponement.

[I am Spartacus]

It's like a better version of Stevenage Watch but not as good as Spring Watch!

I am afraid that watching Stevenage will never, ever compare to Kate Humble, with a glint in her eye and those tressled blonde locks, knowingly talk about the rutting season on Springwatch.

I despair at how the male of the species is slowly being eroded.

[lifestags]

No way will this game be on.

[my name is jonas]

No way will this game be on.

Tbf it’s not too bad atm, I think by 3 it will be a joke though so more than likely it will be off.

Would have thought the decision will be made early to help the Newport fans from making the long trip. No idea if the players would have stayed over or set off early too.

Don’t be so pessimistic Dan!

... beer if it isn’t on?

Might as well

[Bradders]

No way will this game be on.

Just a few miles away, and no serious rain yet.
The forecast is for intermittent rain until kickoff, so if the Met Office has it right there should be no problem getting the match started. Heavy and persistent rain is predicted from 3 onwards, with gale force winds. So anyone expecting nice football is guaranteed disappointment (not that we see much at any 4th Division ground at any time).

There’s a few dahn sarf gone already. Spireites are off for starters

[Berryhillstagno1]

Live one mile from ground, no real rain to speak off, wet but squally winds and showers, probably down to how wet pitch is. I bet Newport are well on their way by now players and supporters.

Sorry, should have been clearer. Games that matter. Football League games.

That’s better

[Sneag]

I really hope this game is off today.

It's been bad enough watching this raspberry all season, the weather will make today's game a farce.

[victor A block]

Weather in town centre at the moment no different to any other regular winter Saturday

Most of this season's been a farce, so we're used to it

[BoughtonStag71]

Two hoof ball sides and it's as windy as a very windy thing, this should be fun

Yes I keep looking at this thread hoping it's off!

[cassellswasmagic]

Somewhere sunny and warm, if they've got any sense.

[Bros]

With the amount of rain we have had over the last few days do we have any weather watchers down Cheltenham way who can give us the lowdown on the prospects for tomorrow
