Apparently it's been lashing down again local to Sheffield.
How's their pitch ?
Hoping there's not a postponement ?
According to the forecast,it's gonna piss down all afternoon as well.
I don't think a second tier game of football has been postponed because it's raining since the 1970's has it?
I'm sure it'll be fine.
Nikola ZigicRotherham v Cardiff literally last season
And Rotherham v Ipswich this season.
Well bugger me. I do remember that one now you mention it.
Still. I'm sure it'll be fine if a bit soggy.
Hearing #SWFC hired some “super soaker” equipment to ensure game on at Hillsborough tonight. The pitch is in a much poorer state than it should be. That said, it has been deluged by several inches of melting snow followed by persistent rain. So good effort.
Read it on a Sheff Wed forum
Thanks mate.
I guess the fact it's on Sky helps to encourage them too.🤞
Definitely.
Their pitch is one that struggles with water though
Rab C NesbittDefinitely.

Yeah, there was one night game there a few years back when the pitch was effectively all sand with lines painted on it. It was awful, how somebody didn't get injured, eff knows.
generalBlueRotherham v Ipswich was due to be on Sky when it got called off earlier this season, although I think that was more to do with the surrounding area as it's right next to a riverI guess the fact it's on Sky helps to encourage them too.🤞
Edit: just realised Hillsborough is right next to the same river lol
The Don flows past Hillsborough.
It flooded a few years ago - 2007 apparently, but not since then.
Rotherham is worse because the stadium is at the confluence of the Rother and the Don. There's a nice little park behind the away end. But if either of the rivers is very high there's a risk of flooding the area around the stadium/
I think tonight's game should be ok.
The pitch is likely to be fine. Modern pitches are fantastic for draining.
" Confluence " 👍
Word of the day
The Buddha will be gutted !
With luck Bannan might struggle to keep his head above water, if he can see over the grass that is.
Probably a daft question but any chance you can pay on the door tonight at the away end?
