Pitch Inspection(s) for Saturday

[banqo]

My pond is frozen over this morning for the first time this week/winter

Frost is harder today than the rest of the week. Think it's gonna be touch and go as to whether it's on.

[StillSpike]

They can put a man on the moon but they can’t defrost a football pitch, and they call it progress

Class war, innt?

They've got to supply the toffs with their specialist moon-cheese, but the working man's game can gtf. SMH.

[Proposition Joe]

Anyone know when the inspection is? "Afternoon" is a bit vague.

The bit of the afternoon before the game, I reckon

[essexfootball]

Brand new hybrid pitch with covers, the idea of a pitch inspection is ludicrous, get on with the game

3pm

[Proposition Joe]

Just weighing up the pros and cons of some unexpected domestic Brownie points for having a few more free hours on a Saturday afternoon vs another slightly annoying midweek game.

[Real Al]

Brand new hybrid pitch with covers, the idea of a pitch inspection is ludicrous, get on with the game

How do these hybrid pitches prevent freezing?

2pm announcement

[EliotNes]

The problem is probably the about 10 yard wide strip that is forever in the shadow of the JE Stand. I don't think that ever gets the sun except in the height of summer and it ain't summer now that's for sure.

It's 2024, we've played matches for years in all weather, I get it's more modern thinking but just get on with it unless there is knee-high snow, if people are able to walk the streets of Leyton then the pitch is more than playable, if you abroad they just get on with it, this country a bit of cold or heat and it all goes to pot.

Postponements started elsewhere

[Proposition Joe]

None in London or the SE though, other than Welling.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Fingers crossed for a PP for me as I’m driving to Leyton tomorrow but not going to the game

Passed initial inspection

[RedDwarf 1881]

Passed initial pitch inspection. What does that mean. What we want to know Is the game on or off ?

[Chicken Dhansak]

I would assume that the game is on.

[Hoover Attack]

There will be another pitch inspection tomorrow to confirm that the situation hasn't deteriorated overnight but green light for now, so Bolton will be on their way.

Great news.

[Story of O]

Great news.

It’s not meant to be as cold tonight and should be warmer tomorrow at this time
