I'd say the difference here is that Bear Racing paid for the use of the pitch - so the corpo had no choice but to deliverI cant actually believe the council allowed Bear Racing to have the pitches knowing what their intention was. We play all of our matches in St Annes not so far away and the council regularly call everything off when it has been raining midweek so that the pitches are protected. Its a pain with missed fixtures but the condition of the pitches is incredible throughout the year. Its the same people that would have made this call!
