Well there's nothing but fog around and to cap it all its raining. Get to the pitch(in a park some 10 miles away) and nothing but fog but its not raining i have arrived 45 minutes before K.O. And i've got a long walk from car park to the changing rooms and its really foggy . Get to the pitch and the groundsman says "surely you're not playing in that?" I look over and its foggy...ish but didn't look too bad. So i walk over to one of the goals and i can quite clearly see the other goal and all four corner posts...... so game on...... Two happy teams who wanted to play the game.
So i say to the groundsman " I thought you had another match on the next pitch as well?"
He says " Both team managers came here last night and said it was too foggy and muddy and called it off" I was dumbstruck !!
By half time(14.45) the fog had lifted and it was clear as a bell. I'd like to see them explain that to the league.......... my match finished 8-5 to the away team with 3 bookings.....Game finished at 15.40..... now getting dark and the fog is coming down. By the time i came out of the changing rooms and looked over to the pitch some 50 yards away i couldn't see it for the fog..................
