I always remember the Baseball Ground , like a cabbage patch at its best. Maybe the Derby fans criticising are actual real walking, talking cabbage Patch Dolls, complete with vegetable matter of dubious origin for brains.
On a serious point, the game should not have started & it should have been called off prior to away fans travelling, must be irritating for them. From my perspective, I'm still mourning for my £3 Humber Bridge Tolls & gallon and a bit of diesel, ha, ha.

Our pitch is one of the only few pitches in England that is almost below sea level, when was the last time it was water-logged? Has to have been decades ago! Plus the pitch looked fantastic as always.

Fair enough. I suppose it's a tough call for all concerned.

To be fair the ball was moving fine during the warm up and the opening exchanges of the game, but the rain kept coming and it quickly became unplayable, I think Collins is still sliding somewhere on the seafront from his tackle on the halfway line.

Felt for the two lads with the water rollers, if there ever was a pointless job, they had it tonight.

Yep - had to laugh at them trying during the 'temporary' abandonment. Regarding the warm-up, the rain wasn't that heavy and can understand why it started.

Just remembered the Derby pitch of the seventies which was a complete mudbath for most of the season.

Should the game have even started tonight?


Yes - I arrived (soaked) about 10 minutes before kickoff and our subs were out knocking the ball around on the surface with no issue. Things looked ok for the first few minutes of the match, but after about 10 minutes the ball started getting held up by wet patches and players started awkwardly slipping so the referee didn't really have any other choice.
