Couldn't believe the amount of rain this morning, the moat around halifaxtowers is overflowing.
I did think at one time this morning that the game might be in doubt.
Further heavy rain forecast for this evening.
If it was a league game there would be no doubt, but, a friendly? We will see.

Hey the ground staff rule at the Shay they are more powerful than the Council!
I think it is the right call though as it is very wet and lets be honest we do not want a repeat of last season although I don't think the pitch is as bad now it drains better.

I have to agree it is a very early call why not check the pitch at 10am tomorrow?

A game of rugby played in the rain, can you imagine. Remember the days when it was mud, blood and thunder and Im not talking about our away fixture to Batley last season!

Why can't we get into the office at The MBi Shay? Is it flooded?
