Pitch Inspections

[iceman]

With heavy rainfall across the country will all tonights games go ahead?
2pm Inspection at United Park.

[The Lilywhites]

Any inspection in Athlone, anybody know? Game called off there two weeks ago when the weather wasn't as bad.

[Jofspring]

if anyone has an update on kildare will they put it up. a couple of matches called off already this season i think.

[Sam_Heggy]

Its a fine day up here, no sign of rain as yet.

Bucketing down here, doesn't look encouraging, but will try post info ASAP as it comes.

Cheers :ball:

No rain in the overcast north east yet either but will let you know if there is a change.

Yes there will be a pitch inspection in Athlone later this morning I hear.

Apparently there was a game on it during the week that cut it up badly

[Youths4Ever]

Our game against Longford is off

[The Lilywhites]

The first of many postponements I'd say.

2.30 inspection in INchicore for Pats v Galway.

Been raining heavily for the last 7-8 hours. If it continues until 2.30 we could be in trouble.

[Theskinloyal]

1pm pitch inspection in tolka

[Bunny Kelly]

So how many games will get called off, I'm going with a minimum of three. Given the rain that's falling I'd give a 10% chance of the Shels-Waterford game going ahead.

God Bless summer football :)

[Jofspring]

at least 50% to be called off i'd say.

[Theskinloyal]

99% called off

[The Lilywhites]

99% called off

The Shels game?

[Rory H]

Not a hope of our game with Bohs being off...nice and sunny down here. Rarely rains on matchdays oddly....

[holidaysong]

The Shels game?

I'd say so.. Tolka is a swamp when it rains!

PITCH INSPECTION AT 1.30

A pitch inspection will be held at Richmond Park at 1.30 p.m. in advance of tonight's secheduled Premier Division match against Galway United.

[The Lilywhites]

Inspection in Athlone, anyone know what time?

[pete]

I am going to predict all first division games will be called off.

[Sam_Heggy]

Just topping up the tan in sunny Donegal here :cool:

Wonder what the weathers like in Cork for tonights live game?

[Bunny Kelly]

Those crazy kids in Monaghan could have something to say about that, otherwise you are probably right

[The Lilywhites]

We could always move our game to Oriel. :)

[Jofspring]

inspection at station road at 1.30 too.

[holidaysong]

I wouldn't be getting too excited about these early pitch inspections. If it keeps raining the way it is then a lot of second inspections will be needed closer to kick off time.

Apparently same as everywhere excluding Donegal.

If the east coast has rain you can be fairly sure that it has already gone through Munster.

[Sam_Heggy]

I wouldn't be getting too excited about these early pitch inspections. If it keeps raining the way it is then a lot of second inspections will be needed closer to kick off time.

I would say due to travelling fans, if the pitch is in any way holding the water then they will call the games off in the early inspection.

[Dodge]

Pats v Galway off

[Magicme]

Only just started pouring here about half an hour ago. Hopefully still ok though.

[atfconline]

We're organising a pitch inspection soon. If it keeps raining though, it is off.

[lofty9]

Nice day here too.

[stann]

Shels-Blues game off as per WLR this very second.

[The Lilywhites]

Shels game confirmed as off.

So 3 down, 7 to go!
