Could the Arsenal game be OFF?

are they giant subbueto (sp?) players on the left of that photo?

The point isn't the outside areas of the stadium needing grit. When it snowed last time ground-staff closed half of of the path around the stadium because large amounts of snow was falling off of the roof. It looked like there were half built snowman around the perimeter.

Not the case of people being wimps...though it's fine if anyone wants a large block of snow falling onto their heads!

 

[Notters]

Hope so.

A game won't be called off unless the fixture cannot be played. As we have undersoil heating there won't be any chance of the game not being playable

The only problem would be if the park and ride sites couldn't open due to the weather.
Mill Road is hardly the best place to be trying to go if there's snow like Friday / yesterday, and the busses would struggle (more than usual) to get from the Racecourse.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

I hope so. No trains from Three Bridges to Brighton, so it's going to be a nightmare to get there and back. I'd happily see it moved to a day when they are running.

f*** off!

 

[Kumquat]

f*** off!

Wish i lived in Southampton for one day then I could get the train all the way there.

The pitch, in all likelihood, will be playable. However, it is the areas surrounding the stadium that *could* cause a problem.

Loads of time to clear any snow. They will do that today, no more snow forecast. temparatures rising, undersoil heating. Certainty to be on.

Mill Road was fine on Friday when I drove up it and was all clear on the Saturday, not sure since yesterday though.

Which isn't true. If its not safe for spectators to get there they will call it off. Happens all the time when the pitch is playable.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

It'll be fine - things will thaw quickly by Friday.

 

[Lovecake]

Not a chance it'll be off. they'll work tirelessly to get the game on.

I reckon the colder it is the more it'll suit us. Put them out of their comfort zone

Yes, their Spanish players won't like that! Oh....

 

[swindonseagull]

Not all of us live within 30 mins of the AMEX some of us have to plan an entire day around a home game. So I will be mighty pissed off if it postponed (and there will be another 2tickets returned)

Does it not get cold in North London?!

 

[8ace]

I hope it is off, I love snow and I hate saturday 3pm kick offs.

 

[nicko31]

Friday will be the last cold day for a while. Temp will be 6c on Sat, i think a 10% chance the game will be off. The only threat would be frozen pitch and that isn't gonna happen. No PL games were off last weekend and conditions weren't great..

get the stewards doing something useful, arm them with blowdriers and send them on their way

Trip hazard from all the extension leads stretched around the ground..!
