Little rain? It's rained loads. Hopefully it's looking drier tomorrow and sat. Fingers crossed.

Earls Barton must have it’s own micro climate. Elsewhere in Northants it’s rained through last night and most of today.

Hammered it down here yesterday late afternoon and some more last night, would think a dry, warm windy day required today to have a chance, that is assuming we don't get any snow or the pitch is frozen come tomorrow morning, getting slightly fed up with this bloody weather.

I think we may need to re locate! Hardly any overnight rain and bright breezy day here. Maybe it's the south facing slopes, we even have a vineyard here! Seriously I wonder if we may have to play a couple of games elsewhere, Hillgrounds perhaps.?

If we did have to consider that I doubt it would be an issue as on some sites that’s listed as our home anyway.

Bright and sunny today, just need to dodge some wintery weather tonight and tomorrow morning now.

Anyone know how the pitch is doing now? Even if it has recovered now to a playable state, it could very well be unplayable again come 3pm tomorrow with rain, possible snow and temperatures down to freezing tonight and tomorrow, so sadly I'd be surprised if it wasn't off yet again. Fingers crossed that will be the last of the bad weather and we can actually get on with our run-in without disruption after this weekend!

Long range forecast for next week, Thursday to Sunday inclusive RAIN. Think we may be heading for at least one week of Thursday football.

With the rain pouring down now likely to turn to snow I am resigned to no Footie tomorrow or Tuesday. My return back here to see three games looks like complete washout.
