I hope the pitch hasn't taken too much of a hit with all the rain this morning. 
I was about to post asking if anyone knows what state it is in?
Omg it's monsooning got an awful feeling the pitch may not handle this amount of rain however good the drains unless it brightens up later this afternoon

With less rain forecast SM...I predict that 'Ilyas's Pitch' WILL prevail !!.
(And Newcastle United will not enjoy it one little bit !).
Don't tell me more rain ? Tho no doubt be a pitch inspection and u know what officials are like.
Oh ye of little faith,mucho dinero was spent on the ground.
Forecast for tomorrow is a dry cloudy day - stop panicking - match WILL take place - I have every confidence in the pitch
