Dis this info come from the Wednesday msg board? They're obsessed with weather and our pitch. If we get a huge rainforest like pourdown I'm blaming them for jinxing it. | |

It hasn't rained for a while, the pitch now drains properly, why would anyone be worried? | |

No, it has come direct from the club
Hopefully it is a 'worst case scenario' such as the rainforest downpour you mentioned. | | | |

But that means they'd be worried every single game.
I'd question why anyone would have this doubt after we've all been told how well it drains and the need for any sort of rain covers was ruled out in the past. Where in the club then jajadale? Because its not on their website or twitter. | |

It has come from the groundsman.
And it wouldnt be questioned every single game; there is not heavy rain forecast before every single game following a week of heavy rain.
Anyway, hopefully not true and it will be fine and we can enjoy looking forward to 5.35pm Sunday. | | | |

Light rain is forecast by the Met Office, so no reason why anyone is very worried. | |

The pitch was perfect yesterday afternoon, and the groundstaff were Vertidraining the surface as an added precaution. Furthermore, the Spotland pitch has been voted one of the best in the lower leagues by opposition teams who have played on it.
Unless there is a monsoon, there will be no problem. | | | |

Wouldnt suprise me if we put the sprinklers on for 10 mins pre kick off!! 
Seriously though we have had a LOT of rain the last 72 hours thankfuly so far on Saturday morning the rain has stayed away ( Due back tonight and all day Sun ) and looking at the Pic the pitch looks a picture!!
Come on Dale - Need to be at our very best today from the 1st minute... | | | |

Right now, the pitch is getting enough of a sprinkling without the sprinklers!
Plus, the wind's getting up. No chance of the game being off but I just hope the conditions allow the game to be played as a footballing contest not a battle against the elements. | |

If this was at Hillsborough it'd have been called off.
If it was at The Valley, Charlton, and sunny, it'd have been called off as well. | | | |
