Looks like the right decision on the day but it's not great for Rovers in terms of squeezing fixtures in.

Seem to remember concerns about this possibility a couple of weeks ago. This bloody rain is a nuisance at the moment. Could Newport have done more? Did they have, or could they have used, covers during the week?

Feel so sorry for those fans who have travelled. Hope they can still make something of it before heading back. Wonder if this will be a midweek fixture - making travel very difficult - or if it will take place on the same weekend as the next round of Cup fixtures.

They said on radio Lancs that it was ok/playable up to 1 pm then the rain came down very heavy.So i would say it is harsh to blame Newport.

This could turn into one of those nightmare fixtures, I've never known a winter quite like this, hardly any cold temperatures

so we get more and more rain, wouldn't be surprised if the next game is called off too.

Isn't there a rugby match scheduled for tomorrow ? that won't help either.

Sick of this pissin weather

If it makes you feel any better it rained in Southern Spain this morning. Sun's out now though. Listening to the long term forecast for the UK snow and ice is on the way for next week at some point. This game could take a while to get played.

Anybody know what team was selected ?

People were tweeting pics of the pitch yesterday and this morning saying stuff along the lines of it should be ok IF we don't get more heavy rain. The chances of that were ?

An educated decision could have been made at 10am, I know the weather can't be controlled but do all weathermen just ad lib or what. Surely they have a rough idea what's to come in the local area it's not as if it was blue skies and nice breeze down there this morning.

Makes the comments midweek about the game not being in any danger all the more baffling, surely there was always going to be a good chance given their home game was called off only last week and heavy rain was forecasted for today.

Within the past couple of days I read somewhere and think it was on this MB that heavy rain was forcast for Newport today around ko time. It looks like it arrived an hour or so early.

An old ground by a river with maybe a poor drainage system that's waterlogged already - not really guesswork what would happen.

Anyway I'm going to watch Eastleigh v Bolton on TV.

It was a simple question Jodrell. No blame mentioned.
