Outsider Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Rain forecast for all day Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobjfh Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 This fixture was initially Camels v St Austell on 6th but postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Then moved to 9th at Camelford, but postponed due to weather. Then 13th switched to St Austell but postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Then moved to 16th at St Austell but bad weather predicted - so moved to 17th - surely this is another postponement due to weather and should revert back to Camelford Home game??

Mike Odgers Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just seen the BBC forecast for Wednesday -a rain belt for the evening backed up by 60 mph gales-maybe back to Camelford on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You failed to mention that the game was at one stage potentially going to be played at camelford on the 8th (Monday night) but camelford moved it back to the 9th, because they predicted 'fog' on Monday evening.

Bobjfh Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Blues10 was unaware of that one being discussed or agreed by clubs, but my sources are often flawed!!! Wednesday is now looking dodgy as well (appears there is now a weather warning!! ). Would just be nice to get the game played - Camels haven’t played since 23 Dec!!

Knighter Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 It's fairly simple - the game hasn't been postponed , it's been re arranged mutually by the clubs therefore the venue remains as Poltair . Hope that helps Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobjfh Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Knighter - I’m sure everything was by mutual agreement and the point at which a game changes from being ‘re arranged’ to ‘postponed’ is a mute point, it’s more about equity. Would be interested to know, from yourself or someone with Senior Cup experience - as this will be the 4th (5th or 6th) attempt for the game - what happens if the bad weather continues for another couple of weeks? 58 minutes ago, middle mans mate said: Callington haven't played since 9th Dec!! I got it wrong and it’s 17th Dec for Camels - still not as bad as Cally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I would imagine the game will be played when the rain stops .... or Noah starts building another ark !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just seen on Twitter the match official for tonight's fixture has said he has received a call saying this fixture tonight has been Postponed, yet St.Austell are saying a 5pm pitch inspection, what's going on?

Bobjfh Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think both clubs knew the game was going to be off, as water logged pitch and band of more heavy rain coming in so did the right thing and called off game and Ref was aware. It would appear that CCFA wanted a pitch inspection at 5 (which would be normal other than when it has rained constantly for four + weeks) which threw everyone into confusion. Hopefully a couple of dry days and a game on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
