I'd be suprised if the pitch would be playable if the rain carries on like it is.

Luckily I've got a seat in the away end at Carrow Road for my football fix tomorrow! Come on you Saints!

Well done to all those who got the game on. Shame the weather couldn't hold out till five.
Nice to see browny come out again and say his goodbyes to the crowd. Top player, he will be missed.

Not sure why the players came out again and the ref waited so long to just throw the ball down and say game off immediately, but no surprises, the pitch was pretty shocking by that point and the rain just didn't let up. Shame for those who worked so hard to get the game on, but from a financial point of view at least we've got got some matchday revenue and a decent crowd of 524 from it by getting it at least started, the rearranged game will probably be sub 300 in February I imagine, so that is something at least.

Hope to see Sam back in the future!
