Yeah, they’ll push to get it called off. They will probably say to the ref “It’s ok now but it tends to get deteriorate mid afternoon….” |  | |  |

Are pitch inspections routine in winter or is this just a precursor to it being called off? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

In fairness, a ref will decide it - not the clubs. |  |

Town will want it on irrespective. We've got momentum, they won't want that paused. Certainly not helpful, but fans are secondary to the success of the team in every single club. |  |

100% we will. Alternative is to be back there on a Tuesday night I presume, which is never going to be helpful. Ultimately the refs call, but how hard Pompey have worked to get it on will understandably be questioned, albeit never proven. |  | |  |

Too late - game is off. They’ll have barely lifted a finger to make the pitch playable. |  | |  |

Wouldn’t be surprised if steps had been taken to increase the possibility if being honest. With the amount of players they have out, no one at Pompey would have wanted this game to go ahead. [Post edited 4 Jan 11:45]
