Reading Marc Iles' Tweets. There is a concern with the pitch and it has just started raining again. The ball does not bounce (described as a dead spot) in some parts of the pitch. Might be a doubt that it will take place this afternoon.

Not looking good. Ref doing his tests and there's no bounce in the pitch at all.

Feck me, southern England is wet. Just been through some flooded fields in a place called Fleet, which tickled me.

Last time I had a train journey like this was on the way to Reading a few Januarys ago. This might even top that as a new low.

Refs having another look at 1.15 apparently.

Tony Kelly's looking a bit different these days ...There is no way that game should be played on that pitch today!

Another pitch inspection planned for 1:15pm.

Ref happy to play as long as it doesn't rain again.

Heavy rain forecast after 2pm.
