    Any chance they’ll pull it?

    Weather isn’t looking too hot for the next 12 hours and it’s already flooded in parts - what chance it will have subsided enough to be deemed safe?

    It’s forecast to be dry most of tomorrow but then more rain Saturday. Will we ‘be reight’?

    Can anyone remember a home game called off for a waterlogged pitch? I'm stumped.

    Not that I can recall. I can remember a game being called off because of too much water in the surrounding area - Norwich at home in the season Morais relegated us, but that wasn't a waterlogged pitch.

    Spurs in the FA Cup was snow.

    Was thinking more safety of surrounding areas than a waterlogged pitch tbh, the pitch level is several feet above the level of ponty rd for a start

    Be rather poor if it's called off. Plenty of time to deal with it, dry weather tomorrow and it's not I've.

    I can see some lower league games called off though.

    Yeah, burst water mains, it's happened before. We'll have to see how the next 24 hours goes.

    But I genuinely would love to know if we've ever had a waterlogged Oakwell.

    Matches do get called off due to waterlogged pitches. I recall one which should have been called at Burnley. On resumption of the second half, the ball just stuck to the first position it should have bounced. It was an absolute farce.

    Do we have Water Safety Police ?
    I'd love that to be put forward as an excuse.... Concern for people's safety due to an over abundance of water in the surrounding areas around Oakwell.

    I don’t remember us ever having a home game called off or abandoned due to waterlogged pitch. Can think of a few sways though. Fairly sure we haven’t had one in the last 45 years or so. Maybe @JLWBigLil can remember?

    I remember cambridge at home on the league cup being abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch. About 1982 I think.

    Oakwell has always been famous as one of the best draining pitches in the country.

    I can remember the abandonment against Cambridge in 1982, but not the 2011 postponement against Ipswich.
