    Same problem down here in the Great Staffordshire Desert, Stafford Rangers friendly against Tamworth a week tomorrow has already been called off due to a lack of the wet stuff.

    Strange one that they have had all season to sort the playing surface out and no problems watering the pitch and it's called off, are well just the two World cup games then.

    I was at Farsley Celtic this evening, they were watering the pitch. Unfortunately large parts of the pitch still resembled the Sahara desert. The weather has not been kind to part time groundsmen

    Fair comment I was not having a pop at the groundsman but just thought a reseed and the great weather with a regular watering the pitch would have been in good nick, one question if it's been like this for a while why has it taken so long to be called off ?.

    I imagine the simple reason is that they really didn't want to call this match off. It is one of the biggest pay days of the year for Farsley.

    Yes I can understand that especially if fans would be allowed into the club house after the game for a few beers and chance to watch the England game.

    Feel for them, this money would have gone along way to their running costs for the year, hopefully we'll go back next year.

    The times I've been to the market they are there in their Burberry Prorsum Waxed Cotton Field Jacket acting like the lord and lady of the manor, it impressed the hell out of me, but you living out that way I'll bow to your superior knowledge of the locals ;).

    Talks continue apparently, as does the possibility of resigning Payet

    Dave, it looks like Bradford and Norfolk last had rain weeks ago. ? My lawn is yellow and it is seriously has hard as concrete. The local playing field is the same, even though it’s surrounded by trees.
    Can’t use a sprinkler because we are metered!

    Perhaps they are the same?

    Makes sense to me!

    I live right up in the Pennines and we get approaching 4 foot of rain a year. With the moorland fires etc, it looks more like Arizona at the moment!
