4. Is the game on?


At times of poor weather conditions, we are frequently asked "is the game on?"

The club secretary, chairman and groundsman are in regular contact when the conditions mean a pitch inspection may be required but this decision is only ever finalised after a precautionary pitch inspection by ourselves has taken place. This would never be less than 24 hours before a game unless the prevailing conditions make it an obvious requirement. The opposition and match officials are the first to be informed before we make the details public.

A formal pitch inspection has to be undertaken by a suitably qualified referee and we schedule this for as late as possible but early enough that we can avoid the away team starting their journey.
