The good news is we had very little reason in Bishop today. Had a look over to Hp at 5 after work, from a distance there didn't appear to be any standing water although the centre circle didn't look great.

If we can get through tonight and tomorrow with very little rain I think we have a good chance of the game being on.

Let's just hope the wind machine is switched off for kick off.

Certainly had less rain today than what was expected, wind is due to drop tomorrow about 4pm.

Hopefully we will get a game on.

Get in indeed !... hopefully wind will subside a bit, it's forecast to drop from mid 40's mph to high teens by late afternoon..

Will be another tough game

Was I hell as like. The youngun' and I sat in the main stand. Sadly, the strong easterly breeze meant the roof offered no protection to the elements, and by element i mean; FLYING ICE.

Loved their ground though.

Does anyone know if the A1 southbound overnight road closures have finished?

After the Whitby match it took me an extra hour to get home. If the A1 road closure is still in effect I'll head over to the A19.

Thanks for any info.

So we didn't lose our star striker on deadline day then.

Poor turn out 857 the crowd...

Darlo_Pete · Post by **Darlo_Pete** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 11:36 pm

Agreed, but it wasn't that pleasant. I thought the crowd looked like 850. Hopefully we'll get over a 1000 this coming Saturday and if we get another win, then I'd expect towards a 100o next Tuesday.

Why people are sick of trekking to Bishop as people keep saying... I can't see it been any different IF we get back to Darlo...People are losing interest simple!!!!

On the highlights for Tez goal a guy shouts "pick a man out " as he goes to shoot......lands in the net and he then shouts "I said pick a man out! lol

We were lucky with our first goal, as I don't think we should have had a corner in the build up to our equaliser.
