Pitch Inspection?

Post by BengeO »

Minus 4 degrees overnight in Stevenage.
If game goes ahead - could be hard to play on.

-4.6 here first thing this morning, now -1.7.
Ground in the shade is rock hard, not really thawed at all this week.

Yes I know it isn't Stevenage, but similar being outside the extra heat of London

Stevenage sold out. You would think they’d be reluctant to postpone.

I was at the ground yesterday for work. The pitch looked great. I asked one of the groundsman about the game today and he thought it would be on, no problem

If you think that's panic better hope you are never in a serious situation

You're right, I have never dealt with a serious situation in my life.

I've got a panicked report from Stevenage if it helps.

No chance of play in my Garden as its solid and has been for days.

However I also haven't covered it and it is in shade so that's of no use. If Evans wants it on (which he will give our issues) it'll be on. If he wanted it off he'd have just stood on the touchline and cast a big enough shadow to keep it frozen.

That assumes he has the physical capacity to stand long enough to cast a shadow.

I forgot he employed an assistant to stand on the touchline and shout for him for 90mins as it's too much effort for the lazy fanny.

Only games in L2 still on according to Beeb are at Colchester, Hartlepool & Stevenage. It'll be a bit difficult if the pitch is very hard, especially for Theo and Smyth who are usually floored by hard tackles and could end up with a good few bruises as a result.
