Shutting up Somerset
 

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

sorry Red: it's not looking good, rain all night, big pools of water in the streets, more rain forecast for tomorrow, have not been down to look at the pitch, will update you after I have had a reccy

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

on reccy 1-00pm bright sunshine at present. I'm not a ref but I would say the pitch is just playable but more rain is forecast

Picture of pitch on Twitter.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Looks very dodgy to me wi the forecast:eek:

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

You're right Cashy, the forecast shows pretty much constant rain overnight and most of the morning/afternoon pre-match tomorrow. :end:

Sunny at the moment though, might get me shorts out.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Absolute disgrace! :D

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Don't you know it's escalated to a huge disgrace :D

Just watched the forecast now n its changed now looks promising to me.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Don't want to feed any "trolls" nor step on Buzzer's grass.

The pitch is fine (In my very personal view) and the forecast :( I use is encouraging :)

I've closed the other thread but can I just point out IF we covered the pitch with rain covers; where would Buzzer then put the 50mm worth of daily rain that has fallen?? Bear in mind the drains around the stadium are constantly full and can only "drain" as the watertable allows them.;)

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

If the forecast turns out to be correct I think the match will be on. It all depends on how much the water table has been able to recover to somewhere near normal levels but the recent rain has been nowhere near what we experienced for the last 3 postponements. Fingers crossed!

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Forecast, if such is to be believed, suggests the game could start but whether it finishes is another question. Hope the late afternoon downpour drifts across more slowly than predicted. As if Professor Coleman doesn't have enough to worry about.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Mr T.......there is only one place where all that water could go......
In the massive void where Somerset's brain should be!!:knife:

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

This is truly a disgrace. Why hasn't the club had the foresight to built large holding ponds/lakes outside of the ground, pump the pitch water into them ,fill with fish and hire out rods and tackle thus generating income?.You could call them 'Somerset pools'. It would only cost a few zillion.

You big wuss :D:D:D

Seriously though I don't blame you. I've only paid to Carlisle for now so will see how it goes

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Good call now the game is off. Only six quid wasted today

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

only sensible call sadly. even as i speak,a letter is no doubt on its way pmsl.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Gutted! What to do now???? :(

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Saturday bloody Saturday and sweet fa. looks like morrisons other supermarkets available to loose the will to live again.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

I don't even need to get off the train as it is just about to head back up to Dumfries

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

I'll bet Coley is regretting his outburst about Carlisle fixtures now. He should swallow his pride and start begging our near neighbours to accommodate us whenever a bit of rain falls in future. Otherwise we are going to have difficulty in fulfilling our seasons fixtures. Sun now cracking the flags of course!

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Looks like the trolls back. Time for another thread closure I think.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

You'll find this hard to believe,but after smiling at our resident trolls posts,first day at the cricket,a bloke hung a flag in front of me and the missus,after a few minutes I leaned over to read it,and yes it read "Somerset " !!!,couldn't believe it, he's everywhere :)

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

It's beginning to look like he is a serious dingbat now. If next week is off it's defcon phonecall. God help us if it moves to defcon email :D

At least nobody has responded yet. I'm with yonmon on that now. Do not feed the troll

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Least we aren't the only game in the league off with the Wombles also falling victim to the weather.

Not sure what we can do really? I've never seen as much rain in 31 + years of living in the area, that's for sure.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Wombles off because of Carlisle, s involment in FA cup tomorrow.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

But behold Rovers game at Newport off wondered this morning why that was still on pitch as bad if not worse than ours.

Re: Shutting up Somerset
 

Have beefy Welsh rugby players anything to do with that?
