About an hour before kick off the heavens opened and the Vicarage Road pitch, which was three years in to its stint of having to cope with Saracens as well as ourselves, was completely deluged. Shortly after 3pm it was announced the referee had deemed the pitch unplayable. The rearranged game didn’t take place until April and a new programme was issued.
