Game off, surely?

[clippedgull]

I would say given the forcast the game is almost 100% certain to go ahead.

you might want to revise that rather foolish observation.

As Mendoza's photographs on the other 'Snow' thread show ... the pitch is covered.

I doubt the pitch is the issue. The condition of the public areas and stands are more likely to be the concern. The South stand is in permanent shade at this timeof year.

I have no doubt whatsever, the pitch will be playable tomorrow night. The only issure is going to be whether the stadium (ah) is safe. The forcast last night was 5 degrees, and clear. This has changed slightly, but as long as the roads are passable tomorrow, I would expect the game to still be on, providing they've covered the pitch correctly.

There will be an orange ball, and apparently Mayo and Fraser are shoe-ins to play.
Many of the other players are now with the club hairdresser getting colour tinted, shampoo and set.
A riot of ginger, and the match will be on.
Ginger fans though, will be treated the same as ever by the stewards, searched roughly and bullied.

Arsenals replay with Cardiff is off. Surely the Emirates is better than the withdean

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I will ait until Unc S tells us what will happen.


Will then know that the opposite will ACTUALLY happen.

 

[trueblue]

the temperate hasn't gotton that low even though

It was minus two driving past Withdean at 4am this morning.. not cold enough for you?

As the pitch is covered, and insulated with a thick layer of snow.... then no

Orient - Leeds called off

And lets be honest, so they should be!!

BUt I suppose the biggest issue is even if we have a thaw down here and the stadium is passed safe, the snow is heading north, will Peterborough be able to get down here to play?

 

[grummitts gloves]

Skysports just said pitch inspection tomorrow.

The wriggle is getting wrigglier

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's not actually very cold out in BN1. Tho having said that, the snow's on again.

Have you been reading Uncle Speilberg's forecasts?

Papa rules OK !

To be fair though, I still maintain the pitch will be perfect tomorrow night if it was covered correctly, just unfortauntely no **** will be able to get there to watch it, as our council forgot to grit the roads!!!

Judging by the latest forcast on the beeb, if we get drizzle or sleet early tomorrow and the temp raise to plus 5 by the morning, I think there be a lot of moaning on here along the line of... "why they call it off so early"
