Good spot - at around 3m 20s you can see the issue is with the touchline area - perhaps they can find some match officials who can cope with running the opposite lines ...

Great. Heavy rain is expected at 3 so not surprised.

Wonder when this will be rearranged for? End of the season is looking a bit busy.

That pitch has always been a problem ever since I played there in the mid 60's.
