Today's weather and the pitch
 

Does anyone know if/when there will be an inspection of the pitch to confirm this afternoon's match?

There's nothing on t'fishy site and I'm only getting voicemail at the club. My Dad lives on Livingstone Road and he said it's been raining all night. Much as I love driving to Accy, I'd prefer it if there was a match to watch when I get there...

The groundsmans' team did a sterling job last week, so I am sure they will turn it around again this week, even though we played midweek. :) :)

Well its quite bright here, with some nice strong wind to dry it out, so fingers crossed

Yes would be nice to know before setting off from Preston! Radio Lancs is usually very good for info.

Accrington Stanley v Dagenham and Redbridge
Saturday 14th Nov 2009

Pitch update
The pitch has coped well with the rainfall that we have had this week and our groundstaff are now on the pitch ensuring that there should be no problems with this afternoon's game.

The weather is currently sunny, fine and windy - ideal drying conditions - and as long as there is no heavy rainfall between now and kick off then we look forward to the game going ahead.

The referee will arrive at the club around lunchtime, any further details will be posted as soon as they become available.

Sounds promising...I hope so anyway, as Chester Red has already set off for my house!

Probably be on 2BR

Re: Today's weather and the pitch
 

Could do with Dan updating things but I heard a decision had been taken by 2BR not to cover Stanley games live. Not sure if it meant all of them or some of them

I dont think Accringtons pitch will ever been as bad as this one .. its Carlisle's pitch but they've got it clear for today ..
