Had a fun one this morning.
Had lots of rain overnight, and it was still raining this morning so I wasn't too confident. Got to the ground at 9.30am and got a text from the home team captain, saying the groundsman had recommended that we don't play on the pitch but final decision was mine. I wandered up and walked the pitch, and it was absolutely fine. So I called the home team and confirmed I was happy to play the game. I then went to find the groundsman to let him know we were playing. He was very surprised to learn he'd advised the game shouldn't be played, as he hadn't made any such call. He bristled quite alot at the idea the pitch wasn't playable, as he clearly looks after them! The home team then got 'stuck in traffic' and arrived 10 minutes before KO.
I strongly suspect they'd basically decided they didn't fancy it, for whatever reason, and were trying to get me to call it off. Going to take more than that to get me to call it off, especially as it would have meant losing one of my twenty promotion games I need to get in before September 30th!
