    Meanwhile, 4 miles down the road the Farsley Celtic game goes ahead.
    Maybe it’s been warmer there?
    Maybe they have frost covers that work?
    Maybe they have undersoil heating?
    Or maybe it’s none of the above and they’ll inspect the pitch at 2pm tomorrow and if it’s off it’s off.
    I haven’t seen any council announcement either that local pitches are all off so how come it’s just that 110x70m bit of grass in Manningham that’s affected? Hmmmmm

    Sadly,VP gets little direct sunlight in the winter,so it all depends on the air temperature.My local park pitch is playable,but it gets sunlight on it all day.I think we will find that the pitches that are playable tomorrow will be the ones with most grass on them.

    And if they left it till 2pm tomorrow then called it off you would complain that it should have been called off earlier so you could have done something else

    That’s not true. I’d have been frustrated / disappointed but accepting that they gave the game a chance.

    Agree any amount of rain on Saturday could be a problem, the top layer may be O/K but would it stop draining under that top layer.
    I don't think for a minute the referee would he swayed by the club but with another game Tuesday night it might have been a mud bath.
