Despite heavy rain in Exeter over the past few days the pitch is holding up and there is not, currently, a pitch inspection planned. We expect today's game with Cheltenham Town FC to go ahead with slightly more favourable weather forecast.
Good summary...and it feels just like a January day.It's quite horrible out there today. It rained heavily overnight (9mm - sorry Grecian 2k!) and at the moment is doing the best impression of a Dartmoor mist, thin drizzle which is very wetting. It's actually quite mild 10c but the wind is from the SSE which makes it feel colder.100% leaden grey sky with little sign that the cloud base is going to be lifting any time soon. I'm sure the game will be played but the conditions for both playing and spectating will not be quite the Easter treat that we should anticipate. For those with short memories this day last year was 15c with bright spring sunshine - we should be so lucky! Think the surface although playable will cut up badly as the water table in my garden not 400m from SJP is at surface level and the ground unworkable at the moment.
It's also likely to be a tough game given our defensive frailties as shown on Good Friday and the fact that they have a striker with a better record that Stockley's.
I don't anticipate much change in conditions throughout the day - though it may stop raining - and I'll update at 13:00
I'm studying abroad in Sydney next year, how hard is it to keep up with the footie given the time difference? Like are you usually up till about 2 if you want to catch a big game?Clocks went back here this weekend, so only 9 hours ahead now......midnight kick off so game on for me
