Will the game still be on tomorrow?
How long is the bad weather forecast to last?
Don't know whether Weymouth will be able to travel up from the south coast.

Thoughts?

[distancetraveller]

I would think it depends on how much water our new pitch can take. Weymouth may travel up here early
It’s a lot worse down south then it is up Alty way.

Not as bad as predicted in Shrewsbury as forecasted but I suppose there is still a chance it could get worse.

[Sarf London Alty]

Think the worst of the wind will be over in Manchester by about 7pm tonight so as long as the ground hasn’t sustained any structural damage that side of things shouldn’t be an issue tomorrow.

WRT rain it’s hard to accurately assess the forecast tomorrow as it seems to be 50/50 for much of the day on the rain front but our pitch stood up to it very well vs Woking 2 weeks ago & we haven’t had a game P-P due to waterlogging since we got the pitch relaid last summer so I’d be cautiously optimistic about our chances of getting tomorrow on.

I do wonder about Weymouth though, assume they would have been coming up today but a 6 hour cross-country coach journey would not have been a good idea today so maybe they’ll have to start very early tomorrow instead, could be an advantage for us.

Finally there will of course be commercial considerations tomorrow too especially with the £5 offer, believe we are expecting around 2000ish in so a P-P & midweek & you can half that & hospitality & bar takings etc so another imperative to get it on.

Ooh that’s me told then.

Postponed, and a good postponement for us I reckon. They'll really struggle with their next 3 fixtures and it gives us a chance to have a bigger buffer for when we play them.

[Alty Dave]

Game OFF according to main site, done by the league.

[Saughall Robin]

Yes. I think it's good for us in the long run IF we can pick up some points before we play them.
Whether we can is another matter.
I believe we can.

PS. Plus them having to travel up in midweek can only be a good thing for us especially if we can get the crowd in with the £5 deal and the game doesn't clash with the City/United European games.

[One Foot in the Grave]

As they're at home to Bromley on Tuesday, I'd guess we'll rearrange for Tuesday week 1st.March.

[Saughall Robin]

They've got Stockport at edgeley a week on Saturday so it'll be a lot of travelling in four days (unless they've got the cash to stay up here and train?)
Either way I don't think they'll fancy it being a week on Tuesday.

[distancetraveller]

Pity the league wouldn’t PP our match with Solihull when COVID was rampant.. inconsistent to say the least.

Oh yeah BT Sports would have spit the dummy out.

[Mick]

Well that's messed up my plans and means more time off work to make a Tuesday game for the sake of a luxury coach leaving an hour early......but they did say avoid travel 
Gotta stay safe these days 

[Salfordalty]

Bit of drizzle but would be playable today. Joke of a decision. All because they didn't fancy travelling on the day.

[Mick]

Well my son made his 1.30pm appointment in South London having left at 9.30am......meanwhile Weymouth's footballers have a day at home watching the bobsleigh.

Preposterous

Let’s hope after we eventually play them, there chances of staying up, go downhill as quick as said Bobsleigh 😉

[Saughall Robin]

We're down to 19th, I think, now. I think it's where we'll end up.

maidenhead have 3 games in hand on us we will finish 20th IMO just above the drop zone
