Rain is forecast pretty much from Friday afternoon up until the game Saturday, I wonder if the game will be in doubt !!!

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Hopefully the ground staff know this and have put the covers on to protect the pitch..

I am not sure where this myth comes from about BP. Quite a few matches have been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. If rain is expected from Friday till ko it would be in doubt surely? The reserves was off last week due to waterlogging wasn't it?

I am sure the club invested in some covers so it should be OK.

Reserve game postponements are totally different.

If there's any chance of a few spots of rain reserve games get postponed to preserve the pitch for 1st team games.

Yes I appreciate that Les, but like everywhere else the pitch has taken a lot of rain over the last 3 weeks and if the forecast rain arrives it must put the game in doubt.

If covers have been applied then fair enough but they cannot be on for very long and the pitch has to be mown. Grass is still growing rapidly with the wet and mild autumn.

Quiet a few Eh? I can't recall many in all the time I have watched Town 4 or 5 in over 50 years due to rain!!! Yes the pitch did really drain well no myth, then they improved it and more games off.
