If thats not the case then somebody more qualified should at least check the pitch and see if it's going to warrant an inspection. I've been able to tell half the time if a match is going to be on and I've been nowhere near the ground. As an ex-referee you get an idea what's what, call me  |
You said last night with the state the pitch was in last week that it was a good chance it'll be off.
