With apologies to W.Heath Robinson and
Andy Holt.
Hope it works !!
 
Well I know he is banned from this site, but here's hoping he is now attacking Fleetwood Towns fans site. They had their match against Walsall called off tonight for a waterlogged pitch. It is the second time this match has been called off for the same reason. Absolute DISGRACE lol

They're the Cod Army so it's ok. :D
 
I will be travelling up from Devon and Thursday night, really hoping the game is on. :)

If it is called off, I will be hand-delivering a letter to the club on Saturday relating to their repeated failure to be able to control the weather :D

Letters are so 90s. I will have an email compiled on my smart phone ready to send :D
 
The machine is ready to go, the new drains which are at least twice the size of the old ones are working well, no water gathering in the corner. there will be more machines digging out at the back of the away stands where the clay/soil is higher than the pitch causing the water to run down to the pitch side. so hopefully that will be scraped down tomorrow. it is looking good. The man is delivering all he said he would.
 
Makes sense Chris, I thought the topography of the pitch doesn't help, almost concaved but all over the place as well like a square crisp. A lot of 1980s higher level pitches to aid drainage had a high point in the middle of the goal a few inches lower on touch lines.

Frighteningly erudite Chewy! ... and thought provoking as well !.
( love the ' square crisp' analogy ! .)
 
Had a sneck at the ground after dinner today, looks ok considering, my moneys on the game being on no doubt, unless a monsoon or summat occurs.:)
