The BBC is reporting hail and then heavy rain all night.

 

[David Icke]

Yep. Heavy showers til 9ish then continuos heavy rain til the match 'finishes'.

For the game to be abandoned, the referee (who is the only man who can abandon the game) must be involved in a conspiracy with Daggers to defraud. Do you really want to go there?

I was being cynical. It is only you Yarmouth introducing the word fraud, silly boy. There is always pressure for games to go ahead as clubs need the cash through turnstile payments. There have been numerous matches abandoned, after starting, that should never have started. In these cases fans are not refunded anything.
Credit to Dagenham for the work they did for that pitch to be playable last night and for both sets of players in playing a good match. The referee missed our penalty claim but added to the type of match we got. Praise also to all the Southend fans who attended on a foul night.
