What’s with all these forking emails?

May I suggest, Eli, that you concentrate on your own forking duties before taking on any sort of forking voyeurism involving other forkers, who will actually be carrying our their own personal forking under strict control of, no doubt, the head forker.

Let’s hope it doesn’t rain too much or else it will be forking hell!

I have provided the ground staff with 4 sets of tarpaulins, are these being utilised to protect the worst affected areas from further rain?

andy them sheets are only good for frost protection, if you used them on the wet areas the water only runs off the side and then makes another wet area. there were two and a half men trying to put one down this morning, good on them for trying, but in the wind even a bobby ;D couldnt hold it down. :cry:

so being used to keep the carpard dry, to stop people from moaning. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Clever forker ! ;D ;D

24

moaning forker. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

25

Cheers for that answer Tony.

I know you can’t move them round easily BUT when they were provided Sprucey and Mark Heald were going to modify the sheets so they can be towed off and on the field by the tractor.

Its got to be better to keep the water off in the 1st place than have to fork it off later.

Any news on the pitch/pitch inspection?

Surely some areas of the pitch are worse than others (which is why there are parts of the pitch currently covered by sand). Would it not make sense to try and cover these ‘problem’ areas, as other areas may be able to stand the extra water? Obviously don’t know all the ins and outs, or the size of the sheets, but i would expect there are some areas of the pitch harder hit by rain than others?

First inspection @ 2pm.

When I called to deliver the programmes at 12 there was a lot of water on the pitch and if the game was today then I would say definitely off.

30

Did you not take your fork with you?!

31

Forking forgot ! Senior moment. :-[

32

i think it was deliberate - you lazy forker :wink:

33

My honest opinion is that if we get any more rain then the pitch will be proper forked

34

Whilst we are not allowed by the UniBond League to postpone a fixture the day before the game - the initial inspection is extremely grim.

i agree with that statement 100%

reading this thread it seems like witton have got 8 forkers ranging from lazy forkers to moaning forkers, so we need another 3 forkers to make a team. we could call it the witton forkers or? the know all forkers, any sugestions. ::slight_smile: ::slight_smile: ::slight_smile:

forkin forkers

37

With a team of forkers tomorrow morning is there any chance of it being playable or is there just too much standing water?

38

Fork knows !

39

According to the Leek forum its off already! someone said they called the ground and was told its off, I would suspect that not being allowed to call it off until the morning he was told it is extremly unlikely to be on :wink:

The guy also blames strong winds for the game being off so not sure how reliable a source he is!!!
