I've very little doubt that without taking action by bringing in the rain cover this week, this game would be another postponement

Hope there's enough clearance from the drainage system used with the cover not to affect the run off's

Took the pooch around Denehurst park earlier, absolutely waterlogged, no doubt the pitch wouldn’t have been able to take this recent rain

Good ticket sales from Cov already - a bit of extra incentive to get the game on

McLaughlin injured in a midweek fixture against Preston and will be out for 3 to 4 weeks. So won't be available. Think that might mean we don't see him play for us again. If he does it won't be 90 minutes.

What are we more excited for?

How can someone so fragile be a professional sportsman? Fair play to him for trying to keep coming back but it cant be normal for someone to be injured so much. Needs to pack it in.

Has he ever been 100% fit? The guy is either the unluckiest footballer ever or his body simply isnt capable of standing up to the stresses and strains of professional sport, either way he has been a wasted wage.

Such a shame about McLaughlin but also so frustrating. If it wasn't for his injury record I'm sure he'd be interesting a few Championship clubs but now I wouldn't be surprised to see him out the Football League by the end of the season.

In situ and doing it's job by all accounts. Let's hope it continues to do so and we get the game on tomorrow. I'm ready for another fix now!

Despite the amount of rain in the last couple of days, the @CrownOil Arena surface is playable at this moment in time 👌

The dome cover has been with us since Tuesday and has protected the surface from the elements, which it will continue to do overnight 🏟️#RAFC pic.twitter.com/yEPu1xgukw

Would hope waters being pumped away from pitch edges as it certainly won't drain away with the present volumes!

It is what it is. If the lino can't run the line we can forget it. I wouldn't be surprised at that outcome either.

Nowt we can do this season apart from hope for the best each week and wait for improvements as the year progresses into next season (in every respect).

Let's hope they can keep the cover on as long as possible - around 2.50pm should do.

If people are daft enough to keep paying you a footballer's wage then why not.

So, if the club wish to maintain the spirit of fan-friendly information sharing they established at the forum, we should expect early and regular updates on what's happening with the covers, the state of the areas surrounding the pitch (i.e. will the touchlines be a problem) and whether a pitch inspection will be required

Fans who're travelling any distance, especially deserve this as a minimum, not to mention the majority of us who are looking to make the effort in rubbish weather from local areas

Twitter will do, it only takes a few seconds

There are no concerns over the @CrownOil Arena pitch ahead of this afternoon's game 🙌

The dome-type pitch covers have protected the surface and will be removed later this morning ✅

So, it's game on, and we'll see you all later 👋😃 #RAFC pic.twitter.com/EYFOfmEy4Y
