The Withdean Pitch is Underwater

[dougdeep]

Strange if this is true as the drainage system has been great for the last few seasons. Perhaps something got iced up.

Answered above - no covers, just a big pond

Is it bigger than Falmer pond? Can we swap?

 

[Bigtomfu]

Its stopped raining.

24 Hours to drain, and its not like the Premiership or Torquay Stockport fiascos. What with Milwall being an hour up the road.


Game on i reckon.

I like smegs. Better than Whirlpools...

I think the groundstaff know what their doing. Im fairly conifdent the game will go ahead.

I hope you re right, but I got here at 1pm and nobody has set foot on the pitch in that time.

Perhaps they forgot their flippers?

It might not be raining where you are, but it is still coming down at Withers. A bit less heavily I grant you, but the sky still looks full of more.

What has?

If you are suggesting this is a wind up, suit yourself.

The pitch is totally flooded. I am looking at it right now.

I am more gutted than most, having driven 80 miles down here for the game.

I hope I'm wrong, but I put chances of the game going ahead at less than 10%

Oh no, i'm just saying the pitch has been cleared of water before in time for a game to go ahead.

I worked at withdean a few years ago...

 

[Woodchip]

Perhaps they forgot their flippers?

Or oxygen tanks for the dive.

 

[Wilka]

get your FORKS out lads !

But they don't have any forks at Withdean!

Oops sorry. Thought my integrity was being questioned!

As I said - dearly hope you are right. I can't begin to imagine what shopping related horrors my missus might have in store for me otherwise.

Don't you mean "Get your norks out for the lads"?

 

[The Large One]

Afternoon people.

Sorry to tell you this, but I am looking out of my Dad's study window at the pitch, and 75% of it is currently underwater.

There is a lake stretching from one goal to the other, 40 yards wide. There is all but no chance of tomorrow's game going ahead.

Does this make your Dad a neighbour of all those SWEAT bastards? Especially that nutjob Tom Catt?

Do him. GO ON, DO THE SLAG.

No, it just needs a thorough FORKing

At least his dad can't be Catt - he [Catt] said the new West Stand would tower over his back garden - so he wouldn't be able to see the pitch/pond.
