Looking at the photos of the ground including an aerial view and seeing their twitter account sounds like they have suffered massively with the flood and clubhouse is ruined and all kit etc is gone. Pitch is literally under 3 feet of water. 

feel pretty sorry for them

Only one with a Leather head I suspect. Damage of this kind will be hard for any club to recover from. I wish them well.

If you go on the Leatherhead website they haven't got any home matches lined up on their first team fixture list ,so unlikely I would imagine

They have to let us know arrangements by tomorrow, ordinarily details come through before but nothing was sent on Friday when I spoke to our Mr C, I'm sure as soon as we know it'll be announced.

Thought the League may have stepped in and insisted that their home games be switched to their opponents venue wherever possible.

I can understand and sympathise with their plight, and they probably need income from their home games, but the knock on effect and backlog of games for them and their opponents must take priority. Maybe an arrangement could be made to split the gate on switched games.

I don't pretend to know the rules on this or the procedures, I just thought it may be common sense.

I thought the same when it happened. From what I understand our visit is the first game to be played since the flood. Apparently their boardroom isn't useable so I presume that they have either got portacabins in or they've pulled off a mighty refurb job that's saying its dried out enough.

I wouldn't want to put money on it John, I expect if someone sneezed on it given the flood they've had it may be enough to make it unplayable. I know they've confirmed the fixture but I reckon its in the lap of the Gods this one.

Saw the weather forecast on the TV today and Friday is looking very wet and ominous!

At this moment in time there is no planned pitch inspection however if the rain continues this may need to be neccassary in the morning.

It will be on. One look at our squad and Leatherhead will ensure its on. Tom Bradbrook must be licking lips looking at our defence. I am assuming if Ben is not available its a back 4 of Crutwell,Kelly,Olorunda and Corrigan? Thats a 17 yr old, a midfielder and someone with no football in the past few months. Or perhaps a magical return for Whybourne? Either way no Ben leaves a huge hole in the side and I fear for us if he's not fit.

Oh dear. Always had a bad feeling about this match if it was to survive the weather.

A 3-0 loss is disappointing.

oh no cant believe this, wish it had been called off now, just looking at our form for the past 6 games speaks for itself, at this rate we will be lucky to stay in the play off zone.

I think third place is the best we can do at the moment,but with Guernsey picking up again and Burgess Hill on a great run,we might just scrape into a play-off position.Please can we have a Striker NOW before all hope disappears.

Oh dear! Dare I say that in amongst all the rain & gloom, what we could have done with was a RAY of sunshine.

First the easy bit. First half pretty even, half chances either end, no team dominating and Hastings doing okay. Supporters happy.

Then came a rousing half time speech and Hastings thought they would put in a quite appalling, hopeless and disgraceful 2nd half performance. Tom Vickers apart, there was no quality or cutting edge anywhere on the park and more worryingly nothing from the dugout. When 2 down we delved in to our wealth of quality and experience on the bench and brought on Woodley, Crutwell and a u21 players whos name unfortunately escaped Terry White. Olorunda and Pogue could be excused but the rest............

So I don't care anymore what our arm chair supporters say on here. We are dire at the moment. No quality, no depth of squad, no money spent. I am now doubting for the first time what John Maggs is doing to my club and whether he is the man to take us forward. 4 defeats in 6 games and the 2 wins were fortunate. Just feel so sorry for those loyal fans again today. Changes in personnel needed now!!!!!!!!!

Forgot to mention. Andy Corrigan sat on the bench for 90mins! Do yourself a favour Andy and find a club that gives a toss.

Agree 100 per cent with you John. First half we were the better side but second half was beyond dire. I can't recall a shot on goal from us in the second period. The paper thin squad left us with nothing to change the game on the bench at all. Absolutely livid.

In a way glad I had a last minute family emergency and spent my afternoon in the hospital and prevented me from going. When I scrolled through my twitter feed I saw 0-0 halftime, my delight soon turned to despair as I scrolled on. Wouldn't be fair for me to comment on the game but it's not rocket science We need some players desperately.

Very disappointing result. I did believe when i read the half-time score we could get a result over there.
The comments of John and Pat are not very hopeful for the next games; especially against Burgess on Monday.

You reap what you sow, pleased i was at rugby and missed game, some of us have said for a long time we are not good enough and im pleased a few more are joining us on the dark side. Maggs or Walters or both are too blame for the lack of depth and quality, if they think i am going to pay £10 on Monday they can forget it, team is a shambles AGAIN.

Yes Chris, young obi one patnobi and Dan Solo will never be tuned to the dark side.

To be honest though Dan, Johnny Wilkinson would of been proud of some of our passing today. Think we took out a couple of 747's 2nd half.

agree. it is a shambles, feel sorry for corrigan. we have couple injured players and no players to come in. player out of position its like watching a sunday side. our programme has said that are budget is good enough to win league so either chairman not handing money over or manager cant spend it. base on who we have signed since he came to club i think the latter. think maggs is past his sell by date. it is embarassing. our bench today hardly going to change a game no disrespect to the players on it but no experience there apart from woodley who still needs to get fit.
First half was ok but Leatherhead punished us second when it sank in that it was a patched up team. feel sorry for players out ther today, no direction and given no hope by a manager thatis not up to it. maggs said we can still win league. he should do stand up comedy. if this continues forget play offs. time for change now before to late

Pat you are saying what you are seeing, but nothing's changed since mid September, performances haven't got any worse, but results have. The worrying and alarming thing is good players won't come to us, they all come up with excuses, why? I think some of us can guess as to why but it's purely a guess

Chris - the difference in September was that there were some signings and potential signings. So whilst I knew we were not playing well - we were getting results and it felt like more signings were on the way. John W rightly warned about the need for strengthening prior to the winter and I and many agreed with that. What is different now is that there is no sign of any signings and a threadbare squad. I'm not going to speculate about good players not wanting to come because I'm not even sure how many have been approached in the last few months.
