Marine - Match thread (weather, covers)
« on: April 01, 2018, 10:51:48 AM »

Whilst appreciating its Easter, I was wondering if we were going to take any direct action regarding the forecast bad weather or just leave it in the hands of the gods and Just have a pitch inspection over four hours prior to kick off against a side from 35 minutes down the road?

Alty 2/5
Draw 7/2
Marine 9/2

I assume the covers will be used.

Injuries are really kicking in and not many options to come off the bench to change it.

Alty 2-0 Marine. Hulme peers. Attn 721.

Just for information - according to the league website Marine have no game on Tuesday 24th April, so if the worst comes to the worst weather-wise ...

Probably so that Anthony Taylor can get to his next engagement.

It'll be off then he's doing the inspection!

I would rather it was off than play on a mud heap. Recent history tells us that soggy pitches and we drop points. We can't cope with boggy pitches
I dont know the guy but I think Anthony Taylor is quite capable of deciding if a pitch is playable or not

He tends to inspect to Premier League standards and has called off some playable pitches in the past. My original point though was why is the pitch inspection so early? We could have an inspection at 12:30 and Marine would still have plenty of time to travel if it's on.

I hear what your saying but would an hour and 45 minutes make much difference in the big scheme of things

Again as a point of information, on Boxing Day the coach was scheduled to leave Sale at 12.10 and the ground 20 minutes later. As it happened we were held back as long as possible (which turned out to be 40 minutes) in view of a late inspection at around 1.15. A 12.30 inspection would have created the same problem. A number of independent travellers would also have set off significantly earlier than 12.30 and some will have to do so tomorrow to ensure arriving in good time for a 3 p.m. kick-off given public transport's limitations on a Bank Holiday. All this suggests that an inspection well before noon is advisable, so I for one am grateful that the club have organised things the way they have.

I suspect the inspection has been organised as a formality, and pretty much expect the game to be postponed minutes after 10:45.
