A couple of dry days might help, but with overnight frosts forecast it may just hold the water near the surface and not allow it to drain away.

If this weather carries on much longer it won't be an issue because it will be below the waterline!

Although we were guilty of missing chances again I thought that Egham dealt with the rapidly worsening conditions better than us.

I think the over the top criticism of Herbert is unwarranted. Yes, he did miss the one on one, but he hasn't played for weeks so lacks match sharpness, I thought we looked more of a threat when he came on.

Be prepared for some pretty severe speed bumps as you approach the ground after turning off the main road (unless they've been flattened in the past 12 months) Is the car park hard standing or grass?
