Washout??

[CIFC755]

With 2 months rain forecast for today will we get a game tonight!??

 

Have we ever had a pre-season friendly cancelled or postponed due to waterlogging?

[It's Me]

Please do not say that even in jest, we must have football.

 

The forecast is lots of morning rain, bright afternoon and evening.

 

Our pitch is perfect and ready, bring on the scum.

Don`t think there`s any danger tonight`s game will be off, the rain is due to ease off as the day goes on and pitch seems to drains really well.

[CIFC755]

Was looking for reassurance! Can't cope with waiting even longer to get back to the Lane!

 

Let's hope you guys are right and we get a good game

[Cherry Blue]

Bring on the scum ??? Didnt know you were playing Chelmsford !

[The Great Eckscape]

We've been hoping for some rain like this for a while. The pitch was very dry so this should make the surface perfect for the match tonight. Saying that, I hope it's dry for the match itself so that the attendance is not effected.

yeah i was a bit worried earlier it came down so heavey and still is quite bad hopefully it will brighten up before this evening so we can enjoy the match

[YELLOW]

I'm not so optimistic. It's been like a monsoon in Basildon for the last 20 minutes or so and shows no signs of stopping. This weather really is quite ridiculous.

[It's Me]

I am very close and looking across Kent, you can see it will pass soon!

[richard sparkes]

Well im in leigh on sea and its not rainning anymore hopefully its the same on canvey now

[feather2801]

no such luck richard it is still raining here on canvey but not as bad as it was earlier

[Sharming Paula]

Brightning up in Benfleet

[richard sparkes]

im sure it will be fine, like what glenn said just hope it dont rain tonight so it stops people coming there was over 1000 for there game against wakering and they charged £10 to get in

[feather2801]

yeah hopefully not wow so they got a good amount from that game then

[feather2801]

when should we find out if the match is going ahead tonight

[richard sparkes]

i would take it as the games on really cant see it being off

I really don`t know why people are doubting it will be on, we`ve got hours until ko

[CIFC755]

Sorry everyone!! Should have kept quiet and worried to myself about the game not being on! Looks like it contagious! As Ronin and Glen have said, they can see no doubt about the game so roll on tonight!

[ronin]

Stopped raining on Canvey

[YELLOW]

Has in Basildon as well. With the winds and the temperature at a reasonable level the pitch should dry quite quickly.
