In the same context, I don't begrudge you guys getting a chance to win league in front of
Your home crowd on Saturday against BW.

Morning

Steady rain in Huddersfield at the moment has been heavy at 6.30am

Anyone heard if there is a pitch inspection planned ?

My post 2.19 yesterday.
Rang the club, told no inspection planned.
Couldn’t confirm if the game would still be on, as you might expect.

On that picture....is it standing water or is it just the bare patches caused by the egg chasers ripping it up the other week that look worse?

Doubt it’s pouring down, my driver is in Huddersfield and all he’s seen is light rain which has now stopped.

You’re making it sound like you have a chaefeur now Dave😂

Earned it by doing what exactly?

By making zero mistakes when he’s been given the chance. All this talk from management about when one makes a mistake the other will be there to step in… well Tyrer has decided to start giving away penalties like they are going out of fashion recently. Boot has earned his shot, for me.

Looks to me like a bare area with a little light water making it shine, given the conspiracy theory regarding TNT wanting us to lift the trophy on Saturday, could they insist we don't play tonight so the match on Saturday has something to play for?

Thats my thinking on those patches as well, bare patches that the rain is making look bad. If you look at the highlights of the Bradford game last night their pitch has similar bare patches too it but as they were dry it didnt look as bad. The flip side is that the rain will make those mud patches worse before other areas potentially. The picture also shows they appear to have covered numerous areas they were possibly more concerned about suggesting those on view are not so bad just lacking some grass!

Doubt we'd lift it tonight even if we do play and seal things so not sure what TNT want about Saturday comes into it in terms of tonight even if there is anything in the talk about the trophy is true.

Hopefully you are right. Maybe it's just needs a good forking and a quick trip to Blackpool for some sand, and it will
Be good to go .

Based on what info? Nothing on the halifax social media although someone has started circulating a screenshot of the post on their twitter from Feb 20th about an inspection ahead of the original game.

a friend has been down to the ground to get tickets. Sizable queues! According to those selling the tickets, halifax have had the turf off to sort out the drainage and then put it back on so sounds hopeful should be all good for tonight! They had also mentioned that Halifax had sent a further 1000 tickets but not sure if that was a misunderstanding and that is what is left from the original 3000 considering we had sold 2070 by lunch yesterday.

"Those" selling tickets is me and it isn't a conversation I remember...

I want us to field our best side t'neet'.

I want us to destroy Halifax.

I want us to go up in style.

Then I want us to play with style and swagger and smash through the hundred point and goal barrier like a blue and white juggernaut...

Please,no more mediocre performances,far too many recently,go for what is needed and cross that line.I have stayed cautious for weeks now,nerves starting to jangle a little.I want to celebrate!!!!!!!

Spireited Police @SpireitesPolice
Seeing lots of posts and questions about tonight's game. As it stands there is no official pitch inspection planned. If this changes it will be communicated out via the official Halifax Channels.
Hope this helps. Please keep your eye on the official accounts for real updates ⚽

As above, spireites police suggest no current plans for a formal pitch inspection however, I have been told by a friend at the club that one is due for 3:30pm. Time will tell I guess!

The picture of the pitch being shared is genuine. I work in Halifax and a colleague of mine is good friends with Ozzie the groundsman. He is saying the picture makes it look worse than it is as it's not mud. He is still positive about the match being played. If so, it's looking like it could be like an old skool game from the 70s. Should be interesting..!
