You'll be reet if you really are going as a furry Kermit, lol.;)
 
I'd have thought that the chances of the game being on are quite slim. It hasn't got above freezing today and all the ground has been deeply frozen for over 24 hours. With more low temperatures forecast for tonight and tomorrow, I can't see the game being on.

Normally it's slightly warmer on the coast than inland, but Blackpool's game was called off last night and Southport is only just down the road.
 
according to the fishy site their is going to an early pitch inspection at 10am with the results posted on their so fingers crossed!!!
 
This is the latest news, as posted on Southport FC's official website:



Tonights game against Accrington Stanley is in doubt due to the pitch still being frozen from the hard frost. Overnight snow and rain is causing water to lie on the surface and cannot drain away.

There was a pitch inspection at 10.00am, and the match referee has asked for a further inspection at 1.00pm

Fingers crossed. We aren't setting off till 5.45. Have both coaches left now?
 
I may have been lied too. Baldy said the first coach was 7.28am.
 
The first coach was due to leave at 11am. At least that's what it says on the travel thread.
 
baldy isn't quite all there. coaches are 11am and 4pm. I can see the 11am coach now so running a few minutes late.
 
Well to say you dont even know me, you sound quite intelligent
for a little boy.

Anyway i thought schools dont go back till next week??

atleast you made your mum proud.
 
Southport fans on their forum yesterday were praying for the match to be off! Hoping to get new players in January.
 
From the fishy site:

LATEST NEWS - Southport v Accrington Stanley
Tonight's match referee will carry out third pitch inspection at 4.30pm ahead of this evening's game. Earlier inspections were carried out at 10am and 1pm but no decision could be made as to whether the pitch will be suitable for tonight.
 
I hope they make a final decision then and not go for a fourth inspection nearer ko time!!!
 
4.30 bit of a bugger for the fans on the coaches.:(

Forecast is more rain and higher temperatures. Fingers crossed.

Ummmm.... thanks.... I think. :rolleyes:

It certainly looks more promising than it did earlier. It's warmer than it has been and the rain will help to soften the pitch. The only thing is if the pitch is now waterlogged.

I hope they either call it definitely on or off at 4.30, so we're not being messed around later.
 
According to the Southport website the game has been officially called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

From the site:

ACCRINGTON STANLEY GAME THIS EVENING HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Friday, December 30, 2005 (2 reads)

The match Referee has just inspected the pitch, and called the game off due to the pitch being waterlogged.
