Re: pitch tonight
 

would you risk the pitch getting damaged and possibly affecting the weekends cup match for a youth game? Probably precautionary more than owt

Re: pitch tonight
 

thats probably the reason rob.

it did put down a fair bit of water mate

Nowt like what the Chesterfield pitch had to cope with and that was almost perfect. Mind you 12 million quid as against 70 grand!:D

Re: pitch tonight
 

12 million quid can soak up a lot of water but was that not for the entire stadium?

Re: pitch tonight
 

Yes of course, but I'll bet a fair chunk of that went into the pitch. Looked like one of those part artificial ones to me.

Given the geology of Accrington, particularly around The Crown, Stanley would do better to play on a raft.

Pitch took a lot of rain from mid afternoon & by 5.00 was holding water in Whinney Hill/ Clayton corner & from centre circle down middle to away end. Ref called game off around 5.15. Forecast for weekend should ensure no repeat-however I'm not guaranteeing the team performance on the day:(
