Checked NSC on my phone (with the iffy 3G connection) literally at about 10.15 as we were barrelling round the M25 past Clacketts and there was no mention of it being off. Got to Dagenham at 11, checked again, and was met with Lord B's glorious thread.
Fucksticks.
Takes a punt, then posts the news that its game on after its already been on the Daggers website and on here for 10 minutes.
We're lucky to have someone with such an inside track on things eh ?
This is just the first hurdle as well. Even if its passed playable today, there's BOUND to be another inspection on the morning of the game.
I've lurched between confident it'll be on to convinced it'll be off. Its doing my SWEDE.
Ahh right.
I was also reading that the way these postponements are panning out, and with Blackpool switching what should have been a home game on the 1st day of the season to an away one, they're going to have a run of 4 home games in a row at some point, and 5 of their last 7 games at home as well.
Undersoil heating at all the other Premier League clubs still didn't stop almost the entire Premier League programme being wiped out last weekend though did it.
Blackpool v Spurs is now OFF according to the Beeb.
Thats two Chumps League teams (so far) who will have to squeeze in a midweek visit to Bloomfield amongst their European commitments.
Shame innit.
The BBC 5 day forcast for maximum daytime temperatures in RM10 taking us up to Saturday is 1, 1, 2, 2, 1. The nights are getting colder and colder towards the weekend as well. If their pitch is frozen right now, it ain't going to be changing much by Sunday.
This is going to royally piss all over my chips if the game is off. The wife is at her mothers while I'm supposed to be at this game - so I'm either spending the afternoon cheering on the stripes, or I'm at the mother-in-laws.
Get.
That.
Game.
ON.
