I am heading to Wexford tonight,just wondering is there any danger of the pitch being unplayable etc.. or am i ok to just head on up.
theres a bit of water lying on the warm up pitch but the main pitch is the best in the country. sorry mick , i meant to say best in the world
Wexford's pitch will be fine. Unless you want to warm up on it first
...but you won't see it with the mood lighting.Quote:

Due to the fact we protect our pitch:D, it will be perfectly playable. However, the wind and rain down here is likely to affect the football on display.Quote:

It's probably too late to call off at this stage anyway.
So what have you now? 1 win in 7 against us or some such?Quote:

Has been bucketing down in Drogheda for the past few hours , eased a little now to a heavy drizzle. Would expect a pitch inspection , the corner at the Drogs entrance at crosslanes has waterlogged before.
Ah, we'll make a late surge! ;)Quote:

Hmmmm, we have kind of trailed off slightly.
Have been told United Park is "just ok" at the moment , match referee going to have a look shortly but looks like game is on.
As predicted earlier our game is off. Just had a pitch inspection.
