But there isn't any rain forecast for tomorrow.

Covers remain as they have been for the last few days as per photo from earlier.

Ground staff working non stop mopping up the pitch.

Food is allowed

No booze, they will check bags.

Booze on sale in the ground, obviously.

Park and ride available from Lambton industrial estate and also Durham Rail Station from 8am

Parking permits I believe are now sold out and non available on the day. Best solution would be to park in the town centre or arrive early and park in riverside car park (pay and display).

This game will be on nee bother

Red weather warning issued by Met Office, first time I've ever seen one covering such a wide area. Just need to get lucky and avoid CLS. Some poor buggers are going to get flooded out of house and home in the coming days

Met Office app says Gateshead dry all day tomorrow.

Likewise CLS.

Lad on my facebook is one of the ground staff and he said the main concern is this rainfall which is due to end at around 11pm-midnight.

Fingers crossed the ground staff keep at it as they always do.

it's due to finish around 11-midnight.

All depends how the pitch drains/dries out overnight.

The club will do everything possible to get some sort of game on
