Do you think our club would have had the players travel through to Barrow this early if there was 'any doubt' surrounding the game?

Surely the forecasted Storm Boelo cast 'some doubt' on the game going ahead - which ultimately proved to be the case.

You couldn’t call it off before midday today as the pitch would have been perfectly playable then
FWIW Holker old boys game up at Rakesmoor went ahead arguably the highest point in Furness

I don’t think we could’ve got any wetter even if we’d have dived in the park lane, appreciate the refs have got a tough job but surely bearing in mind the forecast it was folly to go ahead. I would’ve understood more if the forecast was an improving one.

I was a bit late as one of the turnstiles was shut and there was a massive queue at the other one hence missed the goal along with others.

Onwards and upwards.

Although the turnstile was also out of action last week, I think it was a safety issue today.
Supporters weren't allowed to use the double door gates there today to leave because of it.
Saying you couldn't get any wetter, I got absolutely drenched going to the match by a car going through standing water near the entry into the Tally Ho car park.
Was glad to get home, strip everything off and get into a nice warm bath.

Imagine a coach trip back to Gloucester in wet troosers. The horror, the horror.
