Why is this inspection at 10? The covers off, then an imediate inspection? Surely it's going to get colder (not air temp - pitch temp) and could then start to freeze? A 11 or even 12 inspection makes more sense IMO.

 

I'm sure they know what they are doing, it'd not as if they'd have us there for 5 mins and send us all home is it?

how long does a pitch inspection take????

20 minutes would seem about right.

 

A basic "is it generally playable?" check and then, if the ref doesn't really fancy running around in shorts for 90 minutes, a bit of time to find a frozen square millimetre of pitch to justify the excuse to call it off.

No I had three. I think a hat would've helped.

 

The bovril went down well at half time but cooled rapidly after the initial shock of needing asbestos lips to take the first sip. I swear that stuff comes out of volcanoes.

 

We don't have volcanoes in the Global Brewing/Marmite/Bovril-manufacturing Capital. B)
