    As people say we have been having mixed weather for centuries.

    Having said that, we have also experienced cancelled/postponed matches for years, not a new phenomenon, but the way some go on, you would think it had never happened in the past!

    Stockport game could be in most doubt - a lot of rain in the forecast on 27th and 28th Dec.

    Not sure if there has been much rain in Bradford today but when driving up from Bailiff Bridge to Wyke the rain was flooding down the road. Has there been much round there today @bailiff bridge bantam@bailiff bridge bantam ?

    Loads.
    If you had turned left at the Wyke lion and headed towards Lightcliffe the road was completely under water by the garden centre.

    So?

    the big questions are

    1) will there be a pitch inspection?

    2) any chance it’s off?

    IMO it rained more than this before Salford and even the Wrexham games.

    I'd be surprised if this was in any danger especially with such a bright forecast for tomorrow.

    There's a 0% chance of rain from 5am onwards, we'll be absolutely fine.

    It is a beautiful sun rise this morning and a clear sky, filling my bedroom with golden light. No chance of this Boxing Day fixture being called off. There you go, have your breakfast and get going.

    Perfect conditions for football today, they’ll probably even have the sprinklers watering the pitch.

    Don't know, I'm sure a weeks rain will soon evaporate under 6 hours of a cold sun ...!!

    There's been a great flood at Valley Parade. 40 days and 40 nights of rain. In 2,000 years time you'll be able to see it in the archaeological record, promise.

    Well….the paddy fields of Manningham, were conspicuous by their absence. I assume you were building an Ark rather than wading to Valley Parade? ;)

    The pitch looked drenched yesterday, (but no standing water that I could see), and with lots of rain forecast and if no let up, it might put Friday night at risk?
