Cheshunt v's ETFC

[Enfield United]

Whats the chances of the game going ahead? Does the board know if the pitch is currently playable or not? and would only be called off if the weather drastically deteriated? I for one can then plan a work schedule and watch the best set of players ever to play for our club again, now i've shaken off as being the champion 'losing' mascot title.

Mr Safety Officer took a look at Cheshunt's Pitch yesterday afternoon. It was still covered in Snow then, but with the rise in temperature and all the rain we have had since then, unless it drains well, I would guess it would by now be a little waterlogged

[townerboy]

so is that 90% likely to be on, or 90% likely to be off?

With the rainfall over the last 24 hours PLUS the predicted weather for today and Tuesday - I would expect the chance of this game going ahead to be 1%

[townerboy]

damn.

Well the rains been relentless today, however if they have a good groundsman with support and help he'd be on the case of forking and sweeping, but nothing he'll be able to o if it keeps pelting it down. we'd stand a little chance If the rain stops from over night, the Cheshunt pitch is a gooden for drainage from what I can recall.

he would possibly need sub aqua gear as well.

'Do it!'

The unofficial website still says the next Cheshunt game is away v Thamesmead Town and the Cheshunt forum doesn't say the game will be off.

I have just seen on the Ryman website that they already have tonight's games at Cheshunt and Waltham Abbey listed as postponed.

Not surprising really, but I had a slim hope that ir would be played. Funny how Barnets game went ahead, I'd thought there pitch was a far more suffering pitch than ours or Cheshunts, bearing in mind the Ar5e play on it too.

I suspect having a full time groundsman plus support probably helps!
