And a bit damp.

Obvious from the start it was never going to make it to 90 mins.

Correct decision.

Correct decision.

Then by that logic was it the wrong decision to start it?

They had to give it a go with Carlisle travelling all that way and the rain only really starting at about 6 o'clock.

Rock hard parched earth not soaking any of the rain up, it got very messy, very quickly.

No blame attached anywhere for me.

Kiernan looked very busy and got himself a couple of chances. He probably should have done better with the header from the corner.

There were a couple of dodgy clearances and Amos played a few poor passes inside, but both can be excused by the weather.

MOM was Glennon for that outstanding tackle in the corner.

Fair play for giving it a go but looked doomed to be called off from the start...

Glennon certainly gets ‘champagne moment’ for the challenge. Unfortunately, the rain wrecked his Ringo hair cut however.

Correct decision to start, correct decision to call it off, sad the comical sliced Carlisle clearance didn't drop in under the bar but at least it meant we weren't winning when it was abandoned.

Right decision no argument.
Must admit though I was pretty shocked at how much water was sat on the pitch considering it didn't start raining until after 6.
The rather half hearted uncoordinated efforts to clear it when the ref suspended play were pretty pathetic and pointless.

Regards your parched earth comment the only point I would say is that the grass is very green and the club have a full sprinkler system so I guess it has been getting regularly watered to maintain it so can't be parched surely?

Gutted it was called off but no alternative really.

Not that it counts for much but town were definitely the better team in the time played. Makes it more or a shame that it couldn’t be played
