Newport - v Exeter City discussion thread

So after two consecutive games called off in the frozen north, what weather forecast for Tuesday do we not want for a potentially waterlogged Newport pitch?

Something like this?

Met Office forecasts are more reliable.

thanks - good point.

Met Office also forecasting heavy rain in Newport during the day on Tuesday(!) . We need it to stay dry until then!

Newport are only tennants. The Dragons RFU were due to play this evening, but even that has been called off. Frankly there wouldn't have been "a snowballs chance in hell" of being able to play that game on their diabolical pitch anyway !

Tuesday will be on. The pitch hasn't been played on, and the weather will be warmer as of tomorrow.

I'd be happy with a draw in this and then go and smash the fishies on Saturday. A difficult place to play at. Just hope the game is on. Getting withdrawal symptoms after 2 postponements.

Earlier posts suggested that rain may be more of an issue than a frozen pitch.
