No snow in Darlo. Bit of rain but game will be on.

Little bit of snow on the grass which melted and from 08:00 so far no more rain, even a bit of wind that will help dry things. Should be playable (so long as MG hasn't secretly installed a new sprinkler system).

B*****! Just looked out and it has started to rain. Have I just uttered the commentator's curse? Hope not, we need to keep this winning run going. Fingers crossed we don't get any great amount of precipitation. Get yourself well wrapped up and into the TinShed tonight. Come on Darlo!

According to BPA, no plans for an inspection and the groundsman is "happy with the surface"

Not sure about "happy with the surface" (bobble bobble bobble), but as long as its playable tonight :lol:
