RedLionLad Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I thought the covers were due to come off at 4pm?The groundsman said the pitch was really dry. So how much rain will it need in order to be called off again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mesa boogie Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The covers needed to come off to replace the pitch markings apparently. As for putting on the website that it's definately on, Shrewsbury did that twice to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mesa boogie Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The majority of the Memorial Stadium pitch is going to remain covered until around 5:00pm to 5:15pm, when hopefully the rain will stop and the covers will be removed. Only a small area that is not an issue for swift drainage is now uncovered.There is no doubt over the game going ahead unless there is an Earthquake.If anyone is local and can help out with the uncovering process, feel free to pop along to the stadium early. Would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
