Forest game might be off

Wettest I have ever been was at Nottingham Forest, 2-2 draw 1st division in 1988. That was in the days of their large uncovered terrace behind goal. Fantastic late equaliser from Mark Brennan
 
I reckon it will be off

Even though I hope they manage to get it on, it wouldn't be the worst thing if they didn't.

By the time we play the rearranged fixture, their form may have changed, and we'd have everyone but Browne back fit.
Gives more time to prepare for Blackburn and Rotherham as well.

Means you could probably watch it guilt free too.

I agree with you on this. Was gutted when Rotherham game had to be called off but was clearly the right decision. This one I’m not as fussed as you say ours and there form could of changed by time of the game. Should be fresh for Blackburn and yeah haha for me personally wouldn’t be the end of the world. Although if the baby doesn’t come today I will probably be gutted if the game gets called off 😂
 
Last season we played Forest in a storm. Torrential rain, everyone got absolutely drenched just getting into the stadium. One of the wettest nights I can remember for a match night.
I remember they then had a card only service on the one window serving hot food. Many fans were left disappointed as they were dripping wet and cold from having just come inside. Particularly as they didn't all find out until reaching the front of the queue that their cash was not good enough.
A year on and everyone would have a card in their pocket. Cashless transactions are now the norm. But there will be no fans tonight and will the torrential rain wash this match away?
 
That cover looks good so hopefully we will get the game on looking forward to watching tonight and 3 points.
I can remember us driving to Stockport County for our semi final game only to have to drive back again due to heavy rain affecting the pitch and a late call off.

I think the decisions taken at present only relate to player safety and pitch conditions . I can remember plenty of games at the Riverside being called off due to supporter safety getting to and from the stadium, despite the pitch being perfectly fine and playable.

Oldham in 95 was the same. We were just about to go into Boundary Park and they turned us around. We went back the following midweek for the rearranged fixture and we got beat 1-0 with an Andy Ritchie winner.
 
Blackburn have form with calling games off because of rain. Old stagers like me recall A match called off an hour before kick off once at Ewood as we walked to the ground.

We were in the pub that day. My mate didn't have a ticket so went to ground and bought one. By time he got back we told him match was off😀. He was so annoyed that they had just sold him ticket he went back to ground to get his money back. They didn't want to give him a refund and said they would swap it for Blackburns next match. Needless to say he kicked off and eventually got a refund

The Mags have never forgiven us cos a game at Riverside was cancelled due to a frosty Approach and the pitch was ideal
 
If the game was in doubt before today's rain then the match will most certainly be postponed

As for their recent good run, as a rule of thumb it doesn't matter what form Forest are in leading up to playing us they usually have the upper hand in results against us, at one time they had something over us because between 1974 to 1999 we never seen one win
 
Can see a pitch inspection or 2 before kick off. Want to know what’s happening before I depart with my ten English pounds
