The pitch inspection will be at 12.30pm tomorrow (Friday).

I fully expect to be putting the postponement notice on the website once Graham or I have heard from our contact at Lewes.

The pitch has extraordinarily passed today's inspection!
Given the picture taken of it at 4pm yesterday and posted on the Lewes Twitter feed - @Lewes_cfc - that's incredible.
However, given the forecast for eight or ten hours of heavy rain in Sussex tonight, they'll be inspecting again - and almost certainly calling the game off - at 9am tomorrow morning.

Don't believe it...
That's a right pain for me - means for the second week running, I have to travel to at least London, (having purchased tickets) - just to presumably come back again. It's utterly soul destroying - considering whether to bother. Can't just turn around at Marylebone and come back at my leisure as my tickets specify return train times. If I go to London and its off - I then have to amuse myself for a mere eight hours before I can set back. The forecast looks utterly awful.
Obviously can't be helped - but I didn't expect that decision.

I don't think any of us expected that decision, least of all Lewes when they arranged the inspection, and I did think of you when I got the call a bit earlier.

I guess the fact that they are on chalk must help the drainage considerably given the change from 4pm yesterday.

You have a similar problem right?

Hiya Steve,

I also thought of you - I would imagine you too could be pushed for time. I have an additional problem in-some-much-as my planned train for Brighton leaves Victoria at 10.17! That means I would have to travel to at least Victoria, with a slight chance of still not knowing the outcome - at which point I would just shoot myself!
All good fun.

I'm fortunate in that the trains from Luton go direct to Brighton and take less than two hours.

I can get the same train that I usually get when I go to Earlsmead on a Saturday - and arrive at Lewes in time for kick off, so I'm not too badly off.
