Pitch inspection tomorrow morning https://twitter.com/halifaxpanthers/sta ... 78409?s=21

Yes I’ve noticed it’s not raining there now , it’s sleeting down here . Like you say heavy rain due in the early hours of the morning, don’t know what Workingtons pitch / drainage is like .

As soon as you leave hard ground onto grass in the Keswick area it’s very soft and wet but i’m sure Worky will do everything they can to get the game on and with the early pitch inspection at least we’ll know as soon as possible.

Close call I would imagine but having seen fax play worky at the most waterlogged pitch in the world some 5 years ago it will be game on unless they are swimming. It's not like fax pitch rules .

Hopefully the weather will win out as if not it will be a tough mud fest for our lads. Fingers crossed for a new date in a dry patch.

Yup not fit to do anything outside today . Bin it

Game is on

They must be daft , they harp on about player welfare yet they give the game the green light when the pitch ll be like a bog , there’s heavy rain n 60 mph winds forecast.

I can’t believe that the game is on.
It’s hardly stopped heavy raining all night with strong gusting winds and is absolutely bouncing it down and blowing a gale with less than 4 hours to go.

I’m about 30 to 40 minutes away and if it’s like this a kick off time seriously considering wether it’s wise to go.

At least no one will get hurt and without knowing all the details will refrain from having a rant at the RFL official who said it was fit to play in the first place.

Just found out it’s now cancelled. And we are 50 minutes away. Better safe than sorry. The pitch was fit it’s says the ground safety have called it off

It's health and safety, the pitch has passed as fit. Common sense however has been sadly missing.

That game should have been called off on Saturday. The pictures i have seen the pitch was not playable unless your a good swimmer it is very poor form to have fans traveling in those conditions to then call the game off so late. I don't know where the blame lies but somebody needs a kick up the backside.
