The pitch

by **heysham_mfc** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 4:27 pm

Hows it doing we have had quite a bit of snow in the last 24 hours.

by **Morecambe FC** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 5:59 pm

Completely covered in a nice thick blanket of snow, insulating it against the forecast frost of tonight.

Or words to that effect relayed to me by the groundstaff today. :geek:

The car park on the other hand is a complete ice rink.

Thank you for the offers of help boys. We have had a review of the situation this morning and should nature not take it's course by thawing whats on the pitch, we will get the message out via the OWS, shrimpsvoices, Radio Lancs and The Bay for volunteers to be at the ground Saturday morning.

PS. A very merry xmas and a happy and successful New Year to all SV's members.

I'd do it in my underwear than work all day with grumpy returning customers :lol:

Hope many turn out to get the game on, will make my day better with a win to come home to.

Talking to someone in Carlisle - they have already put out a call on the local radio to get fans down to the ground to clear terracing, roads outside the ground etc. even if the pitch is cleared it's the other areas that now go into the equation - ask Wigan!!!

Someone needs to tell Sky Sports then because they just gave a list of pitch inspections for Boxing Day and games in doubt and we were not on it

by **Crooky MFC** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:36 pm

to be fair when I posted that the news of the pitch ispection had only just come out

by **Crooky MFC** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:59 am

Any kind of update on how the pitch is doing? Sunshine here in Morecambe.

by **Mark S** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 1:24 pm

Just removed a couple of posts.

Pitch inspection tomorrow.

Until then let's be optimistic and assume the match is on.

by **mfcbro** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 4:25 pm

Dont want to be too upbeat,but the players trained on the pitch today and they said it was o.k. under foot apart from the 6 yd box at the umbro end as usual.The snow is acting as insulation.Help might be needed tomorrow to remove it.Heaters are being used at the umbro end,hopefully the match will go ahead.

by **shrimpnsave** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 4:27 pm

not been passed cp for a few days
