Just had word that the club are doing the drill and fill by hand today. Anyone with an hour or two to spare is welcome, badly needed, as it's a time consuming business.
I think the general aim is to whack in one hole per square yard about 2-3 feet down and then fill with kiln dried sand.
Given that the pitch is around 8000 square yards the club needs help.
Now! |  |

Well the local ref this morning said it's playable and not much has changed since then - it's been covered all day. It looks shit but it isn't frozen or waterlogged - if we can't play tonight they may as well close the stadium for the season and find somewhere else to play. |
I wouldn't be playing a game on that pitch, not a Sunday league match never mind one of this importance. |  |

The pitch looks like a ploughed field infact photo shop out the stands and you would not know it is supposed to be a football pitch.
Wonder if the FA are applying pressure to get it played.....
Not playable in my opinion gods knows what the condition of the pitch will be come 9-30pm [Post edited 6 Feb 2018 17:03]

I live reasonably close to the ground and it's been lightly snowing for the past 2-3 hours, no sign of rain or sleet. It's all very pretty actually. |
Talking of which, there's a gorgeous sunset over Spotland at the minute
For all the comments on how the pitch LOOKS, let's just see how it plays
I'm optimistic, and think it could be a cracking game, a bit like an old-fashioned winter mudbath but so much the better! |  |

If it does go ahead let's hope the Millwall players on seeing the pitch get the wobbles, I wonder how many will really go full tilt on that surface? | |

The match officials are out on the pitch now. They bounced a ball and it seemed fine.
Big rolling machine going up and down the pitch.
The Willbutts side looks ok in comparison. |  |

Our lads are going to be in exactly the same boat. The warm-up is the first time they'll have been on it. |  | | |

I agree but our lads have seen it up close and personal over the past couple of weeks. | |
