The weather in Billericay is definitely strange. So far today's match is to be played, but obviously it will ruin the pitch, so Tuesday's match v Oxford City has already been postponed! Isn't that because Last Tuesdays cup game was postponed, moved to Aveley and being played on this Monday?

I would imagine most people were well on their way.
Very bad organisation on ricay's part.

I'm in Billericay, the ground is bone dry, pitched deemed fit at 10:30, no rain since just sunshine and wind. No excuse, they should be fined by the FA if they can't provide a playable pitch in these conditions but the FA are spineless! And before anyone says I also believe we should have been find for the Macclesfield fiasco.

This is utter bollocks just got to the ground !!!
The LEAST Billericay can do is offer us free entry for the rearranged game , the club should issue us a voucher to take as good faith !
Utter ****** shambles

Looking at the pictures, the local ref, not the actual one is at fault. One corner is nothing but a mudbath and that alone should make the game a non starter. Only serves to reinforce the circus show that is ricay.

Got to within 1 mile of the ground at 2.15. My daughter checked her betting account to find out her bet on the game had been refunded. Didn’t find out from Maidstone website or Twitter until after this. I was based in Basildon for the morning/lunchtime as my wife was at the bingo, but didn’t bother checking again as the match had already been deemed as GAME ON. Why would you need to check again or constantly recheck when the weather here has been sunny and windy and would only dry the pitch out further. Now going to drive home to Maidstone only to have to return again on a Monday or Tuesday night. Really feel sorry for those on the coach or train. And she lost at bingo. Gutted

Both managers should have stepped in and said let's get it on.
