I see Sky have gone big tonight for the televised game. It's Fleetwood v Morecambe.

Wimbledon v Newcastle tomorrow is already off due to the rain down there.

There’s a clip of the state of the pitch going around and I honestly can’t tell if it’s a fake or not :shock:

From the air you would think Banksy had paid a visit.

Looks more like a Links Golf course than a footy pitch at the moment :o

Or Jackson Pollock.

Pretty dramatic photos. They'll be back to Selhurst Park soon.

Does this 'derby' not have a name?
The 'worse weekend than Blackpool' derby? The 'I'd rather be in Lytham' derby? The 'Thank **** we aren't in Carlisle' derby?

That's a film, right? Not seen it. If I saw it would I understand the reference?

I watched it on CBS Sports, the commentator referred to it as the Fylde Coast derby a couple of times early on.

Someone must have put him right as later he kept referring to it as a Lancashire derby.
