Could well be a question mark over Saturday's game, given the weather forecast and Storm Bert.
Do Salisbury have an all weather pitch? Even if they do, wind and rain could make the game a bit of a lottery and will certainly test communication between Andre and his defence.
Salisbury's recent form nothing great - 17th at home, while we are still third away.
After Tuesday, who knows..?

We need to be winning this. The away points in the West Country are only good points if we follow it up with wins in games we should definitely win on paper.
I reckon we will win 1-2

Who the hell names a storm 'Bert'?!

Who the hell names a storm 'Bert'?! Ireland's Met Éireann. The list of storm names is announced on 1 September each year and runs in alphabetical order, starting this season with Ashley, followed by Bert, then Conall, and later on possibly reaching as far as Izzy, Rafi and Tilly. Storms are named by the UK Met Office, Met Éireann or the Netherlands' KNMI when they are forecast to cause "medium" or "high" impacts.
Why are storms named?Met Office Head of Situational Awareness Will Lang, who leads responses in times of severe weather, said: "This is the 10th year of us naming storms and we do it because it works. Naming storms helps to make communication of severe weather easier and provides clarity." Wind is the main factor for naming a storm, but sometimes rain or snow are taken in to account as part of the process. Names are selected from a shortlist of favourites submitted by the public but also includes three historic names from the Met Office’s 170 year history. List of 2024/25 UK storm names: Ashley, Bert, Conall, Darragh, Éowyn, Floris, Gerben, Hugo, Izzy, James, Kayleigh, Lewis, Mavis, Naoise, Otje, Poppy, Rafi, Sayuri, Tilly, Vivienne, Wren You may notice a few Dutch names too after KNMI, the national weather service of the Netherlands, became part of the western storm naming group in 2019. The list runs from the start of September to the end of August the following year to coincide with the start of autumn and the end of summer, when the likelihood of low pressure systems and the potential for named storms increase.

A pitch inspection was carried out this morning by club groundsman Pete Robinson and assistant manager Callum Hart and found the pitch to be in excellent condition. Less rain than some forecasts had suggested had fallen over night with the pitch still good and firm with no signs of an excess of water. The inspection was carried out at the match referee’s request to ensure the safety of players and officials. Online ticket sales have now resumed and we look forward to welcoming you at the Ray Mac this afternoon. Get your tickets here – www.salisburyfc.co.uk/tickets/ |
