Latest from Leamington

"It is clear that the Leamington pitch will not be playable today (Tuesday), and the FA have agreed that the fixture can move to tomorrow evening (Wednesday 6 Jan). The club requests that any volunteers that are available this afternoon or during the day tomorrow that could help out with forking and sanding to give the fixture the best chance we can, to pitch up at the ground with a garden fork/spade. Even if only for a couple of hours, it would help the grounds staff enormously in an attempt to complete the fixture."

Doesn't sound like it will be a pleasant pitch to.play on at all.  Hopefully no more injuries...

Perish the thought, but if it's off again tomorrow, would that mean next Tuesday (12th) and the postponement of the Vanarama National game v.Wrexham?



In light of our currently even more depleted 'squad', the deferral of the league fixture against Wrexham for a few weeks might actually be beneficial to us.

Has David Cameron turned up at Leamington yet in a pair of new wellington boots whilst in search of a photo opportunity?

Is there not a point when the FA could instruct the game to be played at Moss Lane, csc style?

More practical than Nippy Sturgeon's suede dress shoes when she turned up for some flood selfies!

After three postponements I think is the norm. Considering they've obviously got a serious issue with the pitch I'm surprised they've  not moved the game to another local ground like redditch, the grading for hosting a trophy tie is pretty low and there's plenty nearby. To get the trophy fixture played and save thier pitch from getting massacred tomorrow night

Anyone any idea when the pitch inspection is today as I don't want to go all the way again for it to be postponed again?

Alty Twitter account just posted a picture of people examining the pitch.  Looks a right state.

The game is still in some doubt, it would appear.
