Kettering's pitch has passed the 10am inspection but they're doing another at 2.30.

It's a dry day in Kettering, so here's hoping.

I see the official site says that the 2.30 inspection will be carried out by the match ref. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? If it is, we should be safe to travel if it passes that one.

That's probably an indicator that the pitch is in very poor condition.

Could someone at the club establish if the 2.30 inspection will be the final, decisive one and that it will be the match referee making it? Really worried about the possibility of the match ref turning up at 6.30 and calling it off.

It wouldn't make much sense for the same local ref to have another look at 2.30 when he's passed it at 10 and the weather forecast is dry. Could well be a different local ref but really hope it will be the match ref, though I guess we'd be lucky if he's available so long before kick-off. Any info the club can find out from Kettering would be a huge help.

The 2,30pm pitch inspection will be made by the local referee that carried out the 10am inspection.
The match referee lives over 100 miles from Burton Latimer.
There is no guarantee that the 2.30pm inspection will be the final inspection, however you would have thought that if there is any doubt, the game would be called off then, to prevent Altrincham players & fans & the match officials travelling.

Thanks Brian. It would be very odd if the pitch failed the 2.30 inspection but it's anyone's guess whether the match ref will pass it. Into Spennymoor territory here...

I think that we are, although at least there is an afternoon inspection & the local referee & match referee are communicating with each other, it seems.

Its sunny here about 3 miles away. Bit cold and windy but bright sunshine , I cant see how the pitch will have deteriorated from 10am to 2:30pm and don't see how it would from now till Kick off given the forecast.
