Hi, nice show again. I'd like to make one observation. In the discussion about pitch inspection I missed the option 'strong wind'/'storm wind'. That, too, can be a consideration when deciding whether or not to start a match. Branches breaking off of trees (and other objects) may blow onto the FOP, endangering the safety of players (and yourself). Also, the wind may affect play to such a great extent that fairness is eliminated. Well, that's my two eurocents. Keep making these shows, guys!
 
Hail!! Having done a game in strong wind which was fine, but it started hailing. Heavily. Like little bullets whipping at you!

It didn't let up, match abandoned.
 
While we're at it: what to do when a pitch is snow-covered? I know the procedure here in Holland, but what do you do over there, across the North Sea?
