Supposedly the ref checked with the met office before the game and they said it would be light showers for first half so although he inspected the pitch beforehand and passed it ok with (Supposed) only light showers it should have improved!!! However as all us lot know on Clayton end it did a hell of a lot more than light showers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He again checked with met office at half time and they said the showers would turn heavy for remainder of afternoon so he came out with linesmen at half time. Kicked the ball a few times and decided it was a no go if it was going to carry on raining!!
