Many parts of North Queensland have been left under water and left with roads blocked after a tropical cyclone and 72 hours of heavy rain.

An pitch inspection of Dairy Farmers Stadium on Sunday afternoon found the playing surface in good condition, thanks to the drainage system, and a break in the weather allowed ground staff to nurse the turf back to life.

More heavy rain overnight again threatened to wash out the fixture, but the club today insisted the game would go ahead.

"Although Townsville has been swamped with rain over the past 72 hours, conditions cleared on Sunday afternoon for several hours which enabled the ground to be prepared," the club said in a statement today.

"Although heavy overnight rain returned, there has been no recorded rain at Dairy Farmers Stadium since 6am.

"It’s currently a humid day in Townsville with the sun bathing the city but further isolated showers are forecast throughout the day, so supporters are encouraged to come prepared."

The statement added: "Thanks to Queensland Nickel, all tickets for tonight’s fixture are free. 

"There are still approximately 2,000 general admission tickets still available and can be collected from www.ticketek.com.au, from The Fury Shop at the Willows or on the gate this evening.

"Gates open at 5:45pm, kick-off is at 7:15pm."

However many supporters may not be able to attend the match because of the hazardous driving conditions throughout parts of North Queensland, which might deny Fury their expected record crowd.

But utility player Chris Grossman is still excited by the prospect of playing in front of a big home crowd.

"I've never been at a full Dairy Farmers before, so to get it three-quarters full, I think would be massive," he said.

"We'd love a massive crowd on Monday and hopefully they can be our 12th man and they can spur us home."

With the future of Fury still up in the air, Grossman said tonight'ds match is the perfect opportunity for the supporters of North Queensland to send a message to the League.

"Everyone's seen the amount of passion the fans up here have for football and I think for future generations, North Queensland must have a team up here," he said.

Placed second-last, eight points off sixth place and with just nine games remaining, Fury must pick up at least 20 of a possible 27 competition points to be any chance of an unlikely finals berth.

Fury striker David Williams said: "It's a game that we have to go into and give everything, like every other game, but this is most important if we don't win this one then it might be our season goodbye.

"The way we have performed (lately) has been good but there's no use performing like that if you get no end result.

"So it's disappointing and frustrating, but if we can go out there and offer something back to our fans, the people who turn up every week, for us that will mean something to get a win."

Williams, a two-time Socceroo playing for an Asia Cup call-up ahead of Tuesday's announcement, said an all-or-nothing approach would give the Fury a spark.

"We've got a strong-minded group of boys who are very good at what they do," he said.

"It's the determination and hard work they want to put in ... the effort that will be shown in the game will decide it. And hopefully we can prove a lot of people wrong and get another win under our belt."
