Match in doubt?

[super J]

Pissing it down in Ealing at the moment, very heavy and set to continue for the next few hours. Lots of surface water building on the pitch at Craven cottage, how quickly until ours becomes waterlogged?

 

[Wise old Bee]

No need for sprinklers. GP not brilliant for drainage but it should be OK surely?

 

[ade211]

Pouring with rain where I live which is about half a mile from ground. But my lawn looks ok. No surface water. On the other hand weather forecast is for harder rain by 3:00.

 

[Nada Bee]

I'd be surprised if its on, Fulhams pitch looks pretty bad.

Hope its on though.

 

[Beesfan]

Just arrived on Brentford, rain really heavy, can't see this being on.

 

[Pro4BFC]

Sunny when I left bournemouth just got hear better be on

 

[bee1958]

Rain has stopped in West Ealing and ground in park is firm underfoot

 

[Bridge Bee]

Club has tweeeted game still on. But the rain is heavy and constant. Will need to stop. We dont want to be playing on a lottery pitch.

 

[Sultan]

Just spoke with someone, pitch looks fine no planned inspection. Hope that reassures.

 

[super J]

Club saying its still on. Next hour or so will be crucial, need the rain to ease off.

 

[Babbelfish]

The deluge has at least stopped for now. Just moderate rain in Brentford at the moment

[djheavens]

I have a nasty feeling this will be off!!!

 

[TW3Bee]

Still raining in The Village, but not as heavy as it was, getting ready to leave, with the kids for our first game of the season.

 

[ade211]

Getting slightly worse again although Club confident that match is going ahead. Good news.

Same here. Sun was out when I left Dorset earlier dont fancy a 200 mile round trip for nothing

 

[TW3Bee]

Getting slightly worse again although Club confident that match is going ahead. Good news.

HRBFC game called off so there'll be one more in attendance this afternoon.

 

[ade211]

According to weather forecast rain will be stopping around threeish, and not starting again till after match. Not sure i believe that though. Worse from now until kickoff.

 

[stevil]

Lashing down in Barnes, what

 

[FlyBee]

Beesplayer chaps say pitch looks great and no major concerns.

 

[ade211]

And it has more or less stopped raing near the ground. Great news.

 

[hatfieldbee]

Well I'm inside the ground. They wouldn't have opened the turnstiles presumably if there was a doubt.

 

[wibs]

It's the that of lightening that concerns me more. Due to start mid afternoon according to weather report.

 

[nocoat]

Big puddle of water next to west mid hospital FYI.

 

[staines_bee]

Who remembers Crewe at home this time last year? Similar conditions...

Good omen?

 

[Holysmit]

Good to see mass panic return to the GPG.

With an assist for Nada Bee

Don't worry....with most of the pitch markings being washed away, it makes good sense to leave the re-doing of them....... as late as possible!

Are you sure it's water?

 

[nocoat]

Was 7 mate as my Dad didn't either. He lives in Cyprus and is a Brum fan which is another reason he didn't attend.
