Tonight's open training session has been cancelled "to preserve the pitch"
Might pop over Ian, although with the tens of thousands Lobbymen you predict will there be any chips left?

Town fans going mad about how late it was called. Even worse when the game actually got called off in the morning.

Should be fine for the rugby though.

That's good news thanks Greg.
Now let's put our tin hats on and await the vitriol from the Town "fans"

With the amount of rain you would think the pitch would take an hammering if the game goes ahead.

Who makes the call, if it's the ref does he have to make it from a purely rugby perspective?

Can he even give any thought to the pitch being ruined even if he wanted to.

What's in the rules?

Has to be by the book this one so I think its only the ref and the 2 teams get to make a call on this one. With Haven having far to travel Im sure they would be very much in favour of the game going ahead rather than have to re-arrange for a mid week game.

Re: Squad for Whitehaven Sunday : Sat Feb 06, 2016 6:32 pm  

My contact at Haven says there is a pitch inspection at 8am lets hope its positive news

Re: Squad for Whitehaven Sunday : Sat Feb 06, 2016 7:35 pm  

Had a bit of feedback from Town fan on Twitter about match being cancelled and going on about us not paying the rent again. I'm usually pretty laid back with what thecTiwn fans say, they're entitled to their opinion but some of them are real dicks.
If our game does go ahead then they'll be whining for weeks.
