At Carlisle last Saturday, we parked in the club car park (a field about 25 steps below the level of the entrance to the ground. There was similar low ground beyond the ground on the town side.
How the heck did the flooding a couple of years ago leave the pitch under 6 feet of water? !!
It must have been a flood of biblical proportions!

Television broke again or is it a ‘slow news’ week in Edwinstowe?

It’s the only river down from the mountains, water gets tunnelled into a small river, it floods. Simple

Small rivers are notorious for spate flooding. I've been down the Maun in a deluge and watched the river rise 5-6 feet inside 3 hours near the sewage works, frightening stuff. Because it's in a valley it poses no problem. But it did in the past before the tunnels were driven beneath the town. I remember in the 60's the Market Place being flooded and a chap canoeing up Bridge St.

Yeah there’s pictures of that in one of the pubs but can’t remember which, maybe the bridge (given its next to the river)

There were blue bands on the trees at about 5 feet off the ground which marked the height of the flood on the main road.

It’s no so long ago that Pleasley was under three feet of flood water. It caused £30 worth of damage
