Game on or off

Post by lucy6lucy »

With rain forecast from this afternoon to Tuesday, and heavy all Monday, does anyone know if the match could be called off.

I think with pressure of it being live on sky it will take a lot more than a bit of rain to call it off

I live a stones throw from SJP and the game will almost certainly be on.

It's wet underfoot because we had biblical rains last night but blue skies now. It'll really have to pelt it down for it to postponed.

Not good news that. I just say f*ck it and get it played, it's the same for both sets of players and i never got injured playing on waterlogged pitches.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

If we are going to get beat - lets at least take 10k for doing so (by the looks of the transfer activity we are clearly skint!) - GAME ON I SAY!

Sod this and lets go swimming! I reckon Bodin and Stevens would be better in water than they are on grass anyway plus the water supports the joints so no injuries and everyones a winner! =D 8-] :clap:

Oh pleeeeeezzee! There is no way i'm speaking to someone from Exeter, even over the phone i may contract an unpleasant viral illness or at the very least a minor disease.

No to be fair lucy i haven't but i may do in a bit if there are no announcements.

Sky will make them leave that to last minute. Well considering some games this season sky had on, would be far worse than now. Exeter pitch is in good condition apparently and its only a bit of rain. The worse in cam see is the pitch cutting up making a interesting last 20mins

Silly question maybe... But are there any penalties/fines etc for a team having so many games called off?

I think this match in particular they would leave to the very last minute if necessarygiven the short travelling distance for most fans.

Raining here in Exeter, but nothing too severe. It is very windy, though.

Been pretty much dry since early Saturday and SJP drains well, as others have said, so I would have thought there's no worries about another postponement.

Just been on their OS, they are very keen to get there 30k for hosting the match, so will not want this called off, likewise 10k for us should secure 1 or 2 loan deals.
