Agree definitely rained off, gave up waiting for a late decision sitting in a nice dry car and got soaked walking down to the ground only for it to be called of just as we got there.
I can't make the game tommorow as I have to work,does anyone want a concession ticket for £10?..I sit east stand near the half way line,5 rows from the pitch.Have to meet me in Bromley shopping centre (the glades) though,anytime.
I asked Paddy Powell about the Andy Durso farce a few years ago, at the greenwich meeting, he was not amused by the late call to call it off? Both the teams wanted to play, in fact they trained on it after the game was called off. He mentioned that there was a sort of agreement beetween the clubs to share covers, but if half the country is waterlogged then I guess that will not be possible. If the water is so great that it affects the roll of the ball is one thing, a muddy goal area, and running area for the assistants is a bit of a limp excuse especially if people have to travel travel distances. Well done to anyone going down there early to help out.
