    Just to make you aware one of my work colleagues does the stewarding at Hillsborough and they have just received a call from there manager to ring into the office before setting off tomorrow morning

    Been told the match will not go ahead if the rain continues


    Really hope this doesn't happen

    Can they not cover the pitch? Is that not the sensible thing to do?

    It's gonna get called off ain't it.

    They are facing a worse fixture backlog than us, (potentially)
    I'd expect them to at least try to get the game on.

    "No chance" is probably a bit strong, these days it's rain during the few hours before a game which tend to dictate whether the game is called off.

    Do they have undersoil heating?

    It's the drainage that's the problem isn't it. Undersoil heating is for ice/snow

    Undersoil heating is to protect the pitch from freezing, you don't turn it on to clear water. I'd find summat else to do tomorrow aft...

    Weren't sure if it was possible to use it to dry the soil out but guessing it doesn't get hot enough to evaporate water

    It would rot the pitch, water has to be drained.

    I live in Hillsborough. It's pretty horrible out there but I'd be surprised if it's off.

    Probably exactly what the Charlton fans were saying a couple of weeks ago, right up to midday on Saturday in fact

    Cannot see why not
    Wendy's have a good drainage system as it was upgraded,and I believe they have under soil heating.
    There pitch is not like the Blunts
