Latest from Rodney Parade Pitch
Following intensive work by ground staff over the weekend, including the implementation of temporary drainage, the pitch at Rodney Parade is in a far improved state than recent weeks. After consultation with the Football League and Oxford United a preliminary pitch inspection will take place at 1:00pm tomorrow (Tuesday February 18th) by the match referee.
Currently, the pitch is in a playable state and whilst the weather forecast for tomorrow is currently favourable, we are mindful of today’s weather forecast, hence the pre-cautionary assessment at 1:00pm tomorrow.
