Anyone associated with Blyth Town able to shed any light on the condition of the pitch and likely-hood of the game going ahead this weekend. Bearing in mind a bit more wet weather to come but not looking too bad Friday and into Saturday?
Bishops' really don't need to keep re-arranging league games due to this tie moving back all of the time and the disruption it could cause to our fixture schedule so it would be good to get this on!

Looks as if there's a big improvement in weather expected and I'm hopeful there'll be more games on. Unless I'm letting my optimism get in the way?

I have a few games on my radar for this weekend
Shields is first, if that is off it is over to Blyth Town, then a choice of Bedlington , Ashington, West Allotment
I am not a natural optimist, and expecting that perhaps they will all be off ??
I always have Morpeth as a back up, having a plastic pitch, but they are playing away this weekend
Would be better if football was played in Summer !

Late summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring = Football. Perfect. |

Everyone wants games on. Cant control the bad weather , the 2 week postponement could be worked differently by earlier decisions on pitch conditions taking forecast into account where if say Blyth know on a Friday the pitch won’t be playable and bishops will be ok then switch it. Yes home advantage will be gone but it will be gone anyway if it’s off again. We have switched our last 2 home games because of drainage problems. Water board are on the job to try and sort before our next home game on 23rd |

Rain forecast for Thursday, Friday and Saturday so would be surprised if it’s on. I think after two postponements an agreement has to be made to play either at the away ground (HP) or at a suitable neutral ground. Can anyone confirm this?

Not sure rain will be too bad tbh looking at bbc weather forecast, certainly not after tomorrow |

That used to be the case, but all decisions are now made by the FA. |

I live in Blyth and it’s been dry since Monday.
As long as there’s no heavy rain on Friday night/Saturday morning it should be fine I’d think

You are correct in saying that it is a Winter sport however it does look crazy that we have no football when our pitches are at there best so perhaps we should start the season in mid July. This would allow the opportunity to get at least half a dozen games in front before the traditional first Saturday in August thus easing any potential fixture crisis during the monsoon months starting in late October through November....just a thought. |

Or just play more midweek games early on And get rid of meaningless cups |
