I see the forecast is awful, anyone know what their pitch is like drainage wise?

Relatively new stadium. Should be ok!

If the stadium has a roof, we should be ok

Arrived in Morecambe.... according to locals been dry all day.... just walking along bay front and no rain to report at present  :)
Fingers crossed for a dry-ish night!!!

Worry not, if the game is off I understand Morcambe has a full range of pubs and indeed alcoholic beverages.

Staying at a hotel on the seafrront. The seafront area is as lively as a funeral parlour - there's absolutely nothing here. Good njob there's real ale in the hotel, and a damn fine one too.

Their club have just tweeted that so far the bad weather has stayed away there.

You could always sit on the steps by Morecambe & Wise to drink it. ;)

Absolutely agree John. Me and the missus stopped over for a night last year...... nothing there of note.

Phew - they've got secondary drainage gravel slits installed! Big weight off my mind there.

Still not raining here but the forecast doesnt look good.  Fingers crossed that the rain isnt as bad as predicted.

Just had a tweet from Shrimps Police, its just started raining over there, fingers crossed its not constantly heavy between now and kick off!

Don't worry, if it doesn't rain they have auto irrigation! The weather map looks wet and windy there for next few hours.

Its raining but I wouldn't say its heavy so it should be ok.

Pitch currently playable but inspection has been scheduled for 1pm
