Hide AdUnited are scheduled to host Bradford City in the league on Thursday night, but Catherine Hamill and her teammates face an anxious wait to see if the pitch will be ready in time.
"The pictures of flooding at our home ground at Tadcaster Albion are a complete nightmare, with the water level halfway up cars again," Hamill writes.
"Momentum has been hard to come by this season with postponements and the ground has already flooded once before this season.
"Although the pitch gets waterlogged quite easily, it’s such a nice ground, a great set-up and there are so many volunteers who give up their time for Tadcaster so it’s heartbreaking for them. "
