How are the pitches looking?

[Ross]

Anyone had their game/s called off yet? Pitches aren't looking to great here to be honest

 

[Mike]

Been dry and windy since Wednesday here, so hopefully we can have a full weekend of fixtures. Yay!

 

[jojo]

Mine on Saturday off, Sundays still on at the minute, fingers crossed!

 

[DanCohen17]

Rained, now below zero. Means all pitches will be frozen over. Saturday with the family beckons :/

 

[haywain]

sunday game switched to away team's 3g pitch, travel switched from 3 miles to 53 miles

swings and roundabouts

 

[Top man in the parish]

quite severe flooding throughout the county here Ross, up to and including our senior league they're reversing fixtures or changing venues where possible, a few 'Junior' clubs are upset at loosing a good pitch because of precedence of games, a lot of County Cup fixtures taking place are 'pinching' the pitches, but it's all in the CFA handbook, 2-3 grounds are 2' under water, Abingdon Town being about the worst, not playable for 10-12 weeks they estimate from previous floods

Lot of high altitude football in Oxfordshire! Get us ready for Brazil!!

Most of my leagues games on Sunday have been binned. Not hopeful for tomorrow either with the forecast overnight temperatures.

Won't be that bad will it?

 

[Southend-ref]

Yes - 2/3 games this weekend called off, waiting for the phone call about the third

 

[Mick.]

My game tomorrow postponed did to a bereavement! No news yet from refsec regarding remaining games without an official

RELIEF!
Having secured a freebie to watch the might Watford, I've received a late appointment for a line tomorrow. Their Twitter feed says pitch in superb nick, no inspection planned!

 

[Ross]

I need some friends in high places for some freebies

What game you picked up?

I don't pay for tickets anymore! I will be at Stevenage-Everton hopefully in Director's Box with another freebie

 

[Ross]

Now you're just showing off!

 

[SM]

should be getting my first game of the post chrimbo period tomorrow, although I was informed by colleagues earlier that they have no shower in the refs room oh well, could be worse

 

[Mick.]

Got my rearranged game. Pitch was a bit muddy but not boggy and very playable. Loads of matches postponed locally though.

 

[Colt]

My game just got moved to the away teams ground because of the pitch... Just an extra few miles on my mum's petrol)

I had mine called off, then switched to the other ground, then called off again!

 

[James_claytor]

2 called off. still able to get in one game tomorrow luckily, but big pain for me as I can't do my monday night night reffing due to horrifically having to go to the villa game!

 

[jack.prescott]

Had 3 on astro this morning and an academy game tomorrow, guessing the pitch will be fine cause we've not had much rain the last few days
