Due to forecast for heavy rain, a precautionary pitch inspection will take place at 2.30pm today ahead of our #FATrophy tie at Bradford PA.

 
I'm guessing, if moved again, it'll be 5th or 12th January, or even the 2nd and a league game moved? They like to get FA Trophy games played, even at the expense of league games.
 
In some ways, I do hope it is played because: we need a win to boost the confidence; we need to play to make it Beevers' second of a three-match ban so he can be considered for the Grimsby game; we need to give Rhead every opportunity to add to his goals tally and we need a nice extra Christmas bonus in the form of the £5,000 prize money at stake!
 
I believe the 2nd has already been ruled out. If the game is postponed tonight, the most likely date would be the 5th/6th as that is one of the weekends where FA games take precedent over league matchs.

I would wait until the pitch inspection, who knows as yesterday was a good drying day.
 
Don't the council help maintain the pitch? With all the cuts I can't imagine it has recieved the attention a pitch needs.
 
on the club site it says the replay if one is needed will be on the 5th so I suppose that will be the next date for the first match!

Apparently they spent £30,000 on the pitch and drainage in the summer. Looks like money well spent then! :no way:

Would it count as an eligible match towards Beevers 3 match suspension as its a different competition?
