may have called it off to save pitch as best as possible for sat?
Might be worth trying to borrow some of those cricket square covers to protect the pitch for Saturday?"
Covering Up For Derby
Posted on: Wed 16 Jan 2008
Sheffield Wednesday are confident the Championship encounter with neighbours Sheffield United will go ahead on Saturday with a pitch cover set to help combat the rain forecast for the end of this week.
Hillsborough ground staff will erect the cover on Thursday morning to help ensure the game against the Blades goes ahead as planned on Saturday afternoon (12.45pm kick-off).
After referee Chris Foy decided to postpone Tuesday's FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday because of a waterlogged pitch, work has been ongoing to clear the sump beneath the Kop at Hillsborough with water continuing to be pumped away following the persistent precipitation in the Sheffield area.
The cover will help alleviate some of the problems experienced with pitch, which largely stem from the necessity of re-turfing the S6 playing surface shortly before the start of the 2007/08 season. Drainage at Hillsborough has become a problem as a result of last June's flood.
