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! |  |

One - just one - further hold up after you've set off and you're fooked. Add 30 minutes, if you're lucky
I wouldn't be taking the risk |
I wouldn't travel over 200 miles to watch a football match on a snowy Tuesday in February anyway, so fair play to those who come up, whatever time they set off
The app will give you route options v quickly if there is an issue btw [Post edited 6 Feb 2018 14:38]

If it can predict the future it's a fooking good app... it's guesswork and essentially hasn't a clue what may/is happening on route, |
It obviously can't predict the future but it uses live traffic information from the people who are using it and other highways stats etc to come up with a live timing for your route. If a crash happens when you're halfway there, obviously it can't take that into account at the start of your journey but if you're using the app it updates as and when it knows there is one and will direct you on a quicker live route if there is one. |  | | |

Understood, I just hope the match ref doesn't turn up and think nah don't fancy this and pulls the plug.... |
Is that why it's flooded, cause the plug has been left in? | |

As live as it is the chance of you travelling that distance through a rush hour without a single incident is next to zero,the time to destination will just keep shifting later and later | | | |

I know i use it daily,the fact is the chance of driving between 2 such points taking the time of day and the distance into account it will dramatically change from when you set off to your actual arrival time, | | | |

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. |
Snow coming down more heavily now, but still very pretty. I'd compare it to the level of snow at the end of the Doctor Who special, A Christmas Carol. |  | | |

Picture taken about an hour ago.
Thought the covers were staying on?
That, to me, isn't playable but I'm not a referee.

No a better idea could be to take the covers off and let it get pissed through before kick off.... | | | |

Isn't that muddy bit off the pitch? Or at least very close to the touch line - the rest looks playable. Might be shit but the game needs playing. |  |

The refs main concern will be the players safety,he's not bothered how many games we've got backing up... that's not playable judging off the photo | | | |

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. | |
