Here we go again!

Kinsmen stadium has been closed indefiniley due to a drainage problem.

 

[Regs]

You have got to be fcuking kidding me !!!

2 days of rain after 2 months of nothing and there is a drainage problem? Did they build dykes around the perimeter of the pitch or something?

Off to call management

~Regs.

 

[cside17]

Nothing to do with the rain. It's the drainage system in the soil base. Broken drain tile maybe?

 

[J_B]

Maybe Notty or any other Burnaby player may be able to let us know if they have arrange an alternate park to play at if burnaby keep all the grass fields closed again.

Cheers

Looking grim

It is looking like there will be a lot of postponements this weekend.

It is hammering down out there.

100mm of rain today alone!

Speaking of closed, are we on the Turf or grass Regs? If I remember right, the Newton grass holds allot of water.

 

[Regs]

Grass I believe.

[Hands of Stone]

It still could Move to the Turf

That is what I heard, that we had the Mercer Turf if Queens Park gets closed down.
Oh well.

You and your team should all plan a trip away, you guys could even leave today, we will phone you if the game is on
