MFC pitch

[blueboyreece]

hopefully the weather we have had so far this week wont affect the pitch for saturdays game.

[Boney Crisp]

I will be very surprised if the game goes ahead, with all the rain we have had so far this week and i do believe there is more to come.

[BlueGate Alan]

Ye of little faith!

[Wellsie]

Well my fingers are well and truly crossed. With no football I might have to see the in-laws

[Ian_Sanderson]

Got to say your pitch looks at present one of the best in the league,and in Ray you have one of the best groundsman, so if anyone can get the game on,he can

Alex so far today we have not even had 0.5mm of rain and even less yesterday. They had forcasted at least 1mm of rain in the last 24 hours and it did not come.

Tomorrows forecast is just for light rain so hopefully it will be less than 0.5mm again. Tomorrow there is a stiff breeze (between 25 & 30mph) blowing so that should dry out what is on the pitch at the moment and what will fall tomorrow.

I am 99.9% certain that the game will go ahead.

There take a positive approach to life and BELIEVE.

Oh ok, the weatherman made it sound worse then what it was going to be earler on in the week

Trust me it hammered down up here for a spell this afternoon, Cookie.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Just as well you are not playing on my back lawn. I have just planted some Irish rice - hopefully will turn into a paddy field in a couple of weeks.

[Cookie]

No rain overnight.(Cliftonville)

However,they're saying that one months rain is due in the next two days in most places,mainly in the west so things are looking ominous unless it we get real lucky.

Not AS bad here as in the west but still threats of rain according to the Met.Office.

Not good and I'm down in Margate this weekend too!!! Can't be called off, not allowed!!!

[BlueGate Alan]

On the weather forecast Cookie has put a link too it just shows light rain, here's hoping that is correct and game goes ahead.

I'm also abandonning the west in favour of the east for the weekend-sounds like its 'Return of the Exiles' weekend; so similarly, really hoping to see a game on saturday.

[Tony_T]

Will be good to return even for a brief visit!!!

[hangthedj]

Having worked on the pitch this morning I'd say the odds are 70:30 in our favour at the moment.

 

If we were to have a large downpour overnight that could change things...but it would have to rain a fair bit for the game to be in any doubt.

[TonyM]

Thanks for the news on that teabar,lets keep our things crossed eh?

[Jake]

Fingers crossed its on tomorrow.
