Match Thread: Lincoln City v Gillingham

I think the Sincil has burst its banks...not much we can do in that circumstance.

Has it? Generally takes weeks of heavy rain for that to happen.

Thought they had done a lot of work on that recently, but if thats the case not much you can do.

Looks like it did last Friday, just.

I don't know about Sincil Drain but the ground is absolutely saturated around the city. Dry spell at the moment but more forecast to come this afternoon.

I think they had to close the community COVID testing at the stadium for a while due to flooding.

Positive in terms of player fitness/health but so depressing when this was the only thing getting me through work.

I know we have a few out (maybe more than we know), but i think this suits Gillingham, given that we've had longer to prepare.

Well it certainly hadn't when I drove across it this morning down Ripon Street and Monson Street. In fact looking at the walls the water level had dropped I would say around 20/30 centimetres or so from the peak.

I guess the pitch is just saturated tbh.

With players out and arrivals expected, maybe this is better for us.

At least it was called off early, stop away fans making a wasted journey

Well we've had weeks of heavy rain here, since October in fact, I dont think we've had 2 dry days in a row very often at all....

And players. Problem with rearranging games for this time of year, but guess we’ve little choice this season. A bit worrying for Saturday too if Drain level is right up.

Thought of this tonight was getting me through work today! Oh well, get rested for Saturday.

Saw some pictures of the drain on Sunday and it was quite near the top

A lot of people feel the same, you are not alone.

Try to keep your chin up. Or your chins, if you are Steve Evans.

Good lord no, wouldn't catch me near the place except on match day!

 

[Croozey]

I was looking forward to that. Mind you it's probably in our interests that the game gets moved on, for another time.

 

[German Imp]

Gutted, absolutely gutted.

No positives to take from it for me personally, just muddle on.
