Prospects for Tomorrow (Lowestoft)

[Plumstead Blue]

The weather is pretty bleak where I'm sat in North London, and given the fact that your home match on Saturday fell to the weather, what's the outlook for tomorrow? 

 

 

[The Town Crier]

We will have a pitch inspection tomorrow afternoon.

Current rain scheduled to stop at around 6ish tonight.  IF that's correct we'll be ok

 

But amount of, and timing of, further rain may change things

[Billericay Town Unofficial]

I work in Billericay, just up the road from the ground and we've had no rain today, there's a breeze and the sun has been out. Just depends what state the pitch was in after last Tuesday and how it faired with the weather since then.

[The Town Crier]

pitch still very wet...but drying

[Paul J]

What time is the pitch inspection please?

Strange, that wet stuff from the sky that came down whilst I was walking to the station this morning must've been my imagination...

2.45 pitch inspection according to the Lowestoft twitter

[Barry Proudfoot]

Can get hold of the bow dry for future games if needed

[BuzzyBee]

Twitter and Website both reporting GAME ON tonight. Bar open from 6pm.  Spread the word peoples.

Match ref carried out the inspection and its game on, pitch still very heavy though, so it will be a tough game.

Old Skool! Propa football!

[Brightside Bloke]

@officialBTSA: Incredibly the referee has called the game OFF!

[Umbrella Man]

What a joke some of these ref's are a waste of oxygen, pain for anyone who went even more so for any Lowestoft fans who travelled .

[Plumstead Blue]

How on earth did that pitch pass an inspection in the afternoon? 

 

What a complete waste of time, money and effort and that referee should be shot.

As I said on a separate post, the FA should pay compensation, assuming both Club's wanted to play

It wasn't to do with the clubs wanting to play - the pitch was unplayable. There was a huge puddle the size of the centre-circle in one corner of the pitch and the halfway line was like a bog. 

 

It hadn't rained all day, so god only knows what it was like at 2.30pm

If that's the case, why did he gamble, knowing the distance the away team were travelling? Looking at the rainfall we have had over the last week, it was never going to dry out with one afternoon of winter sunshine.

The referee passed the pitch at 3 pm. With no further rain but after Lowestoft had been on his case he called the game off at 630 citing "deteriorated conditions" Any Lowestoft fans who travelled have been stitched up by their own people. Once upon a time we all wanted to play football.

[Paul J]

Even though no one can doubt what a farce today's events were, it is no coincidence that this is the second season that we have experienced this kind of situation.

Without the means to invest in the pitch, (which I might add is nobody's fault) I fear we haven't seen the last of these late postponements.

[Ryan.c]

New one on me.

 

Match referee decides game on then a few hours later says game off despite NO deterioration in the weather.

 

I know our pitch 'aint great but for those who watch re-runs of the Big Match, really...!
