Game on tomorrow? 13:22 - Jan 27 with 479 views | Leadbelly | Pitch inspection called for 09.30 tomorrow. The land at Cuckoo Farm has never drained well and with rain forecast from late evening today until 07.00 tomorrow and throughout tomorrow afternoon the game must be in doubt. Anyone "in the know" have any thoughts? | |

Game on tomorrow? on 15:43 - Jan 27 with 454 views | Leadbelly | We had a lot of rain yesterday and when I took the dogs out for a walk at lunchtime the ground really was like soup in places. I'm not hopeful for tomorrow. | |

Game on tomorrow? on 17:29 - Jan 27 with 425 views | BluenWightExile | I'd be really amazed if it went ahead. It has been raining on the Isle of Wight non stop since 21 December & at this rate it will soon be a smaller island than the one I left in 2011 !! | |

Game on tomorrow? on 08:00 - Jan 28 with 363 views | noah4x4 | Negligible rain overnight in CO4 postcode (if any). But the damage may already be done as some puddles remain on Mill Road (Rugby Club) Playing Fields; but that's pretty usual. It is dry now and clear skies with a bit of broken cloud. A bit of sunshine is forecast for this morning; but a 37% chance of "light rain" this afternoon. However; most rain is predicted to dump on a corridor from Chelmsford to Braintree and stop short of here. We may be lucky (if not we are off to Orient v Coventry). Surely; WHCS pitch is presumably covered (e.g. unlike Braintree)? | | | |

I'm pretty sure it's not covered. I guess as it doesn't drain they need to dry it out from the top downwards so covering it probably wouldn't help except from preventing it from getting wetter. | |

Think the covers we have are frost covers rather than rain covers so would probably make no difference if they were on or off, although you'd want them off when its not raining to get a breeze on the pitch. Met Office currently has light rain from 1500 (ie now!) and heavy rain from 1800 so it may well still be in the balance. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
