I haven't got any inside knowledge in respect of the state of the pitch, but based on the general weather in Hartlepool today I can't see any reason for the match to be postponed. I would expect the weather to impact on the game, as it is very blustery with occasional snow flurries.
Tend to agree with your assessment. Solihull will be match sharp while Pools haven't played for weeks so it would have been a tough match in any circumstances without the adverse weather. As for the season's prospects, I think Dave C. wants to gather as many points as possible in case final positions are decided on points per game.
Seems like a regulation win tonight so my fears about lack of game time were unfounded. Dave and the lads march on. Great stuff. If only there wasn't the bloody great shadow hanging over the season.
