Hartlepool United fans warned Woking to hold second pitch inspection on Saturday morning - full details
The latest Hartlepool United news ahead of the trip to Woking.
Hartlepool United fans are being warned that a second pitch inspection is due to take place at Woking on Saturday morning at 10.30am.
On Friday, the pitch passed an early pitch inspection and the pitch is currently deemed playable, so much so that the Hartlepool United squad - led by Nicky Featherstone - have now set off from the North East. But with temperatures overnight to dip to -2C around the Woking area, another pitch inspection will take place on Saturday ahead of the National League fixture, due to take place at 3pm. Woking will provide a further update tomorrow morning.
A Woking statement read: “Woking Football Club can advise supporters that, after an early pitch inspection this morning, the pitch is deemed playable ahead of tomorrow’s Enterprise National League fixture against Hartlepool United.
“With temperatures forecast to drop to around -2°C from Friday evening into Saturday morning, the club has been taking precautionary measures to protect the pitch. Frost covers will remain in use overnight as part of ongoing preparations.
“We have been maintaining close dialogue with the match referee and Hartlepool officials since Tuesday to ensure all parties remain fully updated. On the basis of the current pitch condition, the Hartlepool team have left to travel to Surrey. A second inspection is being scheduled for 10:30am tomorrow morning. Woking FC will continue to work diligently to support the staging of the match as planned.
“Further updates will be provided to supporters via the club’s official communication channels on Saturday.”
