Greggs 1,787 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) There is no way this game is going ahead at the Shay.. why even bother trying. Thing is there is heavy rain over in Southport next 2 days aswell so what's the betting its postponed late at the Shay this evening. Then its waterlogged at Southport tomorrow night.

Don't want to sound negative but we deserve to be kicked out of the competition if the game isn't played tonight or tommorow. Sounds like the pitch at Southport would have been playable Saturday or tonight so it would be typical it wasn't playable tommorow. Just hoping the weather is kind over the next few hours Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very heavy rainfall overnight then steady but fairly constant throughout today . Pitch should currently be playable but will cut up quite a bit . What is called in Shay meteorological terms, a forking nightmare 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shaymen1984 552 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 With our new troupe of forkers, what chance the pitch now drains too well and is rock hard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flea 6,728 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 If the match was to fail the 4PM inspection, is it possible to still play tonight at Southport? Or even if it fails a 5PM inspection? It's down for a 7PM KO but no reason why that can't be delayed to 7.45 or 8, or even 8.45 etc.... Not like it will make much difference to the fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just hoping the weather is kind over the next few hours We do indeed! The pitch looks absolutely fine right now so no reason it shouldn’t be played tonight! If it’s not on just kick us out and save us the embarrassment on trying to get it on again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably takes a while to set up the streaming and we'd need to make last minute arrangements to get there so wouldn't by ideal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
