Is the weather an away side advantage?

Just thinking whether this weather (so to speak) will be more of an advantage to Burton than it will to us?
Certainly a wet pitch means a speedy pitch but I suppose it will depend on how good our drainage is because you don't want the ball stopping dead in wet patches.
Can imagine a few groundsman will be shedding some tears today at the state of their pitches by full time!!

It's usually an advantage to the better footballing side, it can give a little bit of extra time on the ball.

It's an advantage to whichever team adapts best. Let's hope it's us.

It’s interesting, BBC forecast is rain all day, the Met office has it stopping before we kick off.

Since we train at Squires Gate every day, the Blackpool weather must be an advantage
