I heard that, to improve the pitch, they're going to plant seaweed on it.. :~D

Anyway, I'm definitely going to the game. This could be Aldershot's Waterloo..

The game is not at risk barring rainfall of biblical proportions to the extent that Noah had to contend with quite a few seasons ago. So no excuses get down to Plainmoor for what should be a good game today. Best regards, Andrew

Very handy this - especially for fans coming from further afield (like myself). Hope the club follow this example of early communication provided by Andy here.

Alternatively, although this would cost a bit, a tilting pitch could be laid. We could tilt it at the beginning and at half time so that the opposition always play uphill. And we can tilt it before games to make sure that the rain runs off to the side. A creative solution to rain and 0-0 draws.

& (before GloucesterGull gets here.....) we could have a tilt at the title. I'll get me coat :Oops: :Oops:

You'll need it

And it's just been confirmed that, despite the 3pm kick-off, the whole game will definitely be played under flood-lights..
And players and officials will all be supplied with snorkels.. :~D

You wouldn't be casting aspertions in my direction would you lol. As If I would. Hmm Yes I would wouldn't I.
And there was me thinking I would come down and have a paddle. not expecting it would be on the pitch. I suppose the Seagulls felt at home. Did anyone notice any trawlers fishing around the penalty area or Periscopes poking up in Goal. Ducks would be at home as most of them have webbed feet like some of our past players.
Any way I was at home in bed feeling a little illseagull. I suppose I had better stop now. I did harbour ambitions of comedy. I better get me boat. Move over Trojan. Make room on the executive naughty step.
