I'm fairly sure a lot could happen in 48+ hours but i hope it goes ahead, don't want the Histon game postponed.

This doesn't look promising, as they appear to have brought forward the inspection from Monday at 11am, as per the OS when the original fixture was called off. I suspect this will be to call of the game now. Lets just hope lots of other games get called off aswell, so that we are not the only team with such a pile up. I doubt we will be though.

Game, set and match the weather! Lets just hope its third time lucky!

That does mean that: OFFICIALLY OUR NEXT GAME IS K*ttrin :D

Just a shame that one will probably also fall foul to the weather :cry:

Perhaps, but it would be very unfair to punish Workington like that for something that is completely out of their control.

Out of interest, does anyone know what the Nene Park pitch is like at the moment (I suspect not good)?

well if they want to find out the winner of the game, surely they'd better get the game played wherever the venue?

I think he means that its unfair because of the money that they would have to pay to travel down and for a hotel for the staff and team .

I think he does, although im not sure to what degree we share the costs in FAT.

Aside from that is the fact that it would be a little unfair on them to have to come down here, which i would suggest would put them at a disadvantage! If we have to go up there, i would think it would be much more even, as they are a good team.
