Spennymoor Boxing Day
Spennymoor Boxing Day
First of all hope the game goes ahead as plenty of rain forecast Christmas Day night and Boxing Day. Sure Darlo Pete can provide his assessment of the weather situation to keep us informed.
Important game for both teams as they will both be looking for points to kickstart their respective campaigns. Usually a good game of football when the sides meet and expecting a few goals on Saturday. Hope we can start converting more chances and can come out on top this time.
Merry Christmas to all whoever you support and a safe and secure New Year.
Of course being an old git I really should be saying bah humbug to the lot of you!

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Don't want to disappoint you OG. Someone I was talking to today said they had seen pictures of the pitch with lots of lying water.
The forecast is for it to be dry on Christmas Day & on Boxing Day light rain from 13-00 & it only turns heavy at 18-00, so if the pitch can recover from the recent rainfall the game should go ahead as planned, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pitch inspection on the morning of the match.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Yes the last thing we need is games postponed, otherwise we'll be playing 3 games a week till the end of the season.
Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
But if there is a positive from that it could mean we're playing matches in front of fans rather than empty grounds?Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 5:04 pmYes the last thing we need is games postponed, otherwise we'll be playing 3 games a week till the end of the season.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
If we have to play 3 games a week, some people won't be able too or willing to pay top see all those matches, especially if we are struggling at the wrong end of the table.
Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
I’ve seen pictures of the pitch with lots of lying water as well.They were from 2017 before we got the drainage put in since when we’ve had very few problems with “lying water”.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 4:19 pmDon't want to disappoint you OG.

Where is our "fan walking the dog" correspondent when you need them to report on the state of pitch?

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Conversely quite a lot will though Pete. In the last two months of the season (April/May) there are loads of matches lined up and those willing and able will be able to pig out on football, home and away.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 6:48 pmIf we have to play 3 games a week, some people won't be able too or willing to pay top see all those matches, especially if we are struggling at the wrong end of the table.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Personally Bigdave, I'm planning on gorging myself on football if April and May open up. A lot of the fixtures beneath are doable.bigdavethemaddog wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 10:20 amsome people would probably do anything to watch a football match after nearly a year withouttheoriginalfatcat wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 10:16 amConversely quite a lot will though Pete.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Looking forward to it, providing I can get the stream. Missed out on the last two games, constant buffering on the entry screen despite numerous reboots. Thank God for DFR.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
No way is the game off, looks like flashscores have us playing away to Spenny as well as at home.
Weather fairly mild, no frost.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
If had been at Spennymoor, it would of been certainly on, the pitch is in perfect condition, thanks to the excellent drainage system

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Spennymoor v Darlington is indeed off. It has been replaced by..... Darlington v Spennymoor.

Flashscores generally is pretty appalling. LiveScores is better.

The number of times they show a goal only to change their minds! It’s infuriating!!Darlogramps wrote:Flashscores generally is pretty appalling. LiveScores is better.

Re: Spennymoor Boxing Day
Given we've only got into their box once this half surely we just need to try some shots from anywhere
