Newport County V City (Saturday 22/2/2020)

Well their game is on tomorrow.

Sure they will be able to try get the game on for Saturday.

 

Well on that basis, I fear we will come back with nothing. But hey, why would you expect anything more?

 

Forecast is rain tomorrow and Thursday but no rain Friday and showers Saturday. As I said think tomorrow will be off although it is on tv. Should be ok for Saturday, hope so hotel booked Friday.

 

Hope for them it's on tomorrow, as it's a big game for them and they will put a full strength team out. We could do with it being on because the sooner we get an away win the better.

 

You booked for us all Roger? Cheers!!

 

If they've an injury crisis I think it'll be quite the opposite. A postponement is the best scenario for them. I remember Parky doing something similar and getting the match called off.

 

they will be bending over backwards to get today game on as it is on Sky, they will not want to miss out on the Presumed pay day from that evening if it kills the pitch.

 

Can't see Sky being too upset if it's off, there is a Premiership game onSky also as far as I know.

 

Sky will not care but Newport will if they lose their fee

 

Sky will still broadcast even if it's next week.
As it happens the forecast, for what it's worth, has changed. Showers today dying out by match time, rain tomorrow but gone by lunch with sunny periods then staying dry Friday with showers Saturday morning but dry by match time.

 

No but I will stand you a beer Friday night if I see you around. Just be aware there is a Rugby match v France Saturday. I'm at Holiday Inn across the M4 from Celtic Manor and the price last weekend showed rate up from around £90 Friday to £479 Saturday. Don't know if that's still the case.

 

The game will go head fine, bloody hell are we going to have these convos everytime it rains

I suppose it’s probably because the footballs been so poor, weather’s more interesting to talk about! I’m more concerned about if we’ll win than if it’ll be postponed.

 

Anyone travelling on the Train?

Currently NO Trains are getting through from Hereford on wards due to Flooding, this service is replaced by a bus which takes just over an hour.
Expected to last until Friday.

 

On paper this is just about the most winnable of the remaining dirty dozen. No ifs or buts, sendings off or wind hazards. Just three points please.
