Aside from all the very fair comments on the pitch, I do think we are more likely to win at their ground with a better pitch & our away record so don’t think switching it when it’s BCD makes any difference.
think you’re probably right on the short term issue of getting through to the next round of the trophy especially as no crowds involved. There’s genuine concern about County on Boxing Day and beyond. We will probably lose some games to freezing conditions in January apart from waterlogged pitches. Drainage seems to be getting worse. A couple of hours heavy rain after several hours light rain and we’re snookered.

If only we had some covers for the pop side. To be fair it would need a few people to drag them on and off.

Would postponing County be such a bad thing? They like us seem to have hit some form. No fans allowed.

We may be out of lockdown when the rearranged game gets played.

Unfortunately if we are in Tier 2 by the time we play County, the game will have been postponed not only on Boxing Day but on at least one other date as well, meaning even more games to fit in before the end of the season. Bit disappointing the club hasn't put out a statement regarding the pitch and what can be done to mitigate the issues,  if anything,  this season.

I think the problem is it usually gets a lot of treatment over the summer but there wasn't time to do that after the playoffs
