Maybe we need to ask why Warrington , Wigan and Salford manage to have rugby games, and not have a quagmire pitch |
I think Salford is 4G? Wigan will have loads of artificial lighting on it to encourage growth.
The Accrington pitch looks wonderful and it used to look worse than ours. Obviously some money has been spent but spent well. |  | |  |

Salfords pitch is grass,you regularly see the heat/light lamps on at night time as you drive over Barton Bridge,they do have 4G training pitches at the back and a full size grass pitch too.
I'm planning to go Salford tomorrow to watch my nephew play if all goes to plan,so I'll see what state the pitch is in with all this shitty weather |  | | |

This Storm Dennis is dreadful. Its making the leaves rustle on the holly tree outside my window, and there are some raindrops on my car. If it gets much worse, I might have to put a coat on when I nip out to put the rubbish in the bin.
Thank heavens I'm not at the COA this afternoon watching football like thousands of daft people who dont have such a caring, forward planning board of directors as we do. I hope their scarves dont get caught in the breeze and catch someone in the eye. You cant be too careful in weather like this. Stay safe everyone! |  | | |

Riddlers' nerves are shot to pieces. He's resorted to a stiff Bacardi breezer with a drizzle on Baillie St. apparently?   |  |

Personally I am glad we are not playing - particularly given our style of play! It would have been an absolute lottery and the damage to the pitch would have made every home game from now to the end of the season even more difficult to put on.
We are where we are re the pitch, the sensible decision was to postpone, let's hope the other matches go our way. | | | |

Storm Dennis: update from the omnipresent BBC... heavy rain and a breeze with the possibility of a sunny spell around 5 pm
What with this awful weather and the need to stay inside for the next 3 months to avoid the Ben Shaws virus, life is becoming unbearable.
Thank God for the BBC. I think I will send them some more money by way of a thank you. | | | |

Agree - Tranmere players aren't unfamiliar with a more-mud-than-grass surface:

He's been Scunthorpe's groundsman since then.
Regarding today, even discounting the waterlogged pitch I'm not too fussed it hasn't been played. The game would have been an awful spectacle in these conditions and I'd rather play Tranmere on a normal day/night and not make the game a lottery. It will be interesting if any games are halted during 90mins today - also will be keen to see the EFL show on Quest tonight just to see how many games were affected by the horrendous conditions (with regards to farcical goals).

Exactly that's what football is all about playing and adjusting to different conditions.

According to the radio the Accy pitch held up really well. They reckon the work was money well spent. | | | |

Someone or some people need to be be held accountable for the state of the pitch
and the money wasted. its nothing short of criminal. | | | |
