Inspection in Athlone, anyone know what time?

**pete** · 05/09/2008, 11:34 AM

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

Just topping up the tan in sunny Donegal here

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

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

**The Lilywhites** · 05/09/2008, 11:37 AM

We could always move our game to Oriel.

inspection at station road at 1.30 too.

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.

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.

Pats v Galway off

**Magicme** · 05/09/2008, 11:50 AM

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

**atfconline** · 05/09/2008, 11:55 AM

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