There will be a pitch inspection at 12.30pm. The middle of the pitch is 50/50 at the moment. Thats all i have heard.

 

Will update when i get back in at 1.30pm with a decision hopefully.

[johnnojudo]

At the moment the match is still on although a local ref came round to inspect the pitch and said it was too dangerous in the middle to play on. So he called it off and informed tonights ref. The official ref for tonight over ruled it and is coming over at 4.30pm to inspect it himself.

 

We'll see!!

[Manors]

Match now off - pitch unplayable

[nut250]

give them my number jj i will sort it out

[johnnojudo]

match off is confirmed.

[Terrence Collina]

careful Nut, everyone will be after your services!

 

Ash - Cambo tonight then - if that is on

[duncs]

Just been down to the pitch the ref who called the match off at lunchtime was right the pitch is very dangerous. myself and the groundsman agreed that the middle of the pitch around the centre circle was particuarly bad and in one spot it came over his workboots, for JJ this would be far to deep and to keep him safe we would have to tie a rope around him and tie it to the dugout.

[johnnojudo]

I'll jog round the pitch, not across it, when arriving for training tonight.

Ash vs Cambo for me tonight

[duncs]

Should be a close game, I fancy Ash as they are in good form at the moment and I always like to see them doing well,no doubt Krooner will be there chearing on Camberley as they go in search of the points.

[nut250]

willing to help out any club tc they only got to get in touch , free advice and all that

[Terrence Collina]

good on you nut.

 

Would ask you to look at our pitch, but I dont believe your qualification is in miracles

[johnnojudo]

Had a look at the pitch last night just before training and i have to say that it was absolutely the correct decision in calling the match off last night.

 

The centre circle is an absolute mess. Looks like the entrance to a cow field. Huge footprints that go down about 5 inches filled with water. Looks like a scene from Jurassic Park with the huge dinosaur footprint! Totally unplayable and to be honest, the groundsman will have to work miracles to get the home match versus Cobham on for saturday!! If we dont have some clear weather soon then i can see no home matches for a couple of weeks.

 

The reserves played on it on Saturday and the centre circle cut up like i've never seen before. Rest of the pitch is generally fine.

 

Groundsman must be devestated. Bookham and Guildford i'm sure will back me up and agree the pitch was in fantastic condition in August. What a shame its like it is now!!

[Krooner]

Hope you get the dry weather soon JJ. Last thing you need is a backlog.

 

Must say though not sure using Bookham and Guildford as Pitch references is the best idea

[Jurg78]

That answered my question I had about Sat then JJ!

[Weeble]

My misses looked good in August also...

[johnnojudo]

We all know Weeble. Fine lady!!

[Weeble]

Set myself up there........

I will agree with you JJ, we played on it first game of the season and it was in good nick even though there was quite a lot of rain leading up to the game.

Pitches in this league have so many games on them that most are ruined by January, saying that some are terrible in August
