Not wishing to be a prophet of doom but has anybody noticed the weather forecast for Saturday? I have seen better, particularly bearing in mind our pitch .............

This thread seems to have sparked someone into action. Pitch looks in great nick on a new photo just published on the official site.
Praying for decent weather because I'm looking forward to the Feelgood festival after the game.

Reform now open to away fans? I know they let Sunderland fans in (to the detriment of Dale fans getting pre-match scoops) but normally they have a sign up saying home fans only. Is this a change of policy does anyone know?


I've been in Spotland Reform and asked. Away fans are NOT allowed in on match days on instructions from the local licensing people. That away fans guide needs changing.

Thanks Sandy - thought that was still the case.

I’ll be amazed if I’m walking out of the COA at 5pm tomorrow having watched 90+ minutes of football. Forever hopeful though.

Edit: just seen club statement, there’s still hope then!

I`d have been happier if the club photo of the pitch didn`t show any grass at all and had rain covers on. Leaving it uncovered in its current condition is just asking for trouble. Why leave it to chance?

Unless something has changed, we don’t have rain covers. Fans and the Trust helped with the purchase of frost covers.



There’s that word “unprecedented” again. Do wish people would think what it actually means.

Not sure which forecast you're looking at, but there are weather warnings issued for tomorrow due to the amount of rain expected locally

I hope they're wrong, but think it's unlikely

Just to add, if the game against Bradford hadn't been abandoned, i wouldn't have considered posting about this


Well I thought the BBC!

But it seems to have changed this morning!!

I think it’s due to the 8-10 pints of bread and butter ale at the Flying Horse yesterday!

Dry at minute, thundery downpours expected before kick off

Dunno if it'll be biblical, but if the game isn't completed expect the club to do a Pontius Pilate

Bouncing down now.

It was good that the club to updated fans that there were no issues with the pitch at that time, it creates a positive precedent around communicating what the situation is.

The pitch stood up well in the end, despite some pretty heavy downpours both before and during the game but which didn't last too long, thankfully

It's in for some more stick tomorrow ahead of Tuesday, but a lot more confident it'll be ok after today

The pitch played really well. Would be good to know what further work has been done to it as it seemed to withstand the rain today far better than a few weeks back.

To be fair, the rain has been nothing like what it was on the Bradford weekend.

It was absolutely torrential then, leading to flooding in parts of town and a leak in my back bedroom.

Today's has been more of the blowing/swirling variety, which I think has helped.

Yes well done to the Pitch Forkers.......you done well.

There was quite a lot of standing water on the Sandy/Main Stand corner at the end of the game but at least we got the game on.
