Is tomorrows game on?

stockport

WHat chances of a game tomorrow? Anyone know what the weather is like there?

 

[readingstockport]

It's been snowing. Add on to that Sale Sharks playing in the cup tonight and if the game is on then I reckon the pitch could well be a complete 'mare. I'll ask on our list and the board to see what it's like.

 

[readingstockport]

It's stopped snowing and the sun is shining so there is a little bit of melting going on. The pitch is reckoned to be in a complete mess so no beautiful passing game tomorrow then for all you attending.

Looks like mild weather on the way, I cant see it being off

 

[The Mole]

It's a beautiful sunny day here. There is a light dusting of snow that's melting fast. In general we don't get a lot of snow here - just a lot of rain.

If the rugby goes ahead at Edgeley tonight, there'll be no problem tomorrow (apart from a crap pitch of course)

I understand that Stockport called off a game this week......Does anyone know if they are thinking about calling tomorrows game off??

I hope not, i am all ready for an away day, a good laugh and 3 points.

Pitch inspection at 14:00 tomorrow. If it's called off it'll be called off then.

Mole, the weather may be ok but the pitch is turning into a quagmire. Mozzer has just posted to the list that he has been told by someone at the club that IF Sharks play tonight then the game is very possibly off tomorrow. Apparently the pitch is a complete f***ing mess

I fail to see how anyone thought that you could play a game of egg chasing and a game of footy in February within 24 hours of each other.

Trying to get more info for you now.

looks likely but crap pitch!

 

[Trotster]

Apologies - just seen other thread

 

[Rougvie]

The weather looks good, the Met Office predict very little chance of rain and temps of 5-6.

Still its at times like these when we need the WeatherCrab !!

they need to start banning clubs playing rugby & football on the same pitch. Ruins the game for footballers/fans, rugby lot dont care what the pitch is like!

 

[oldham gull]

thick snow & freezing here in Oldham and more falling on the hills still. It's usually warmer & melts quicker down in MAnchester & Stockport. I'm sure the only problem will be from the rugby league lads carving great divots out of the pitch

 

[readingstockport]

Comment from someone at the club (and they're union not league og ) .

"He was looking at the pitch when I spoke to him.

He isn't sure , the pitch is playable but will cut up very badly ,
with the Sharks playing so late tonight and Brighton having to set
off so early there will be no time to work on the pitch,

I reckon they can't make a decision until first thing in the morning
though."

What clown of a club? Well you can add Halifax to the list. A few seasons ago on a really wet April Friday evening they staged a Rugby League game on the Friday night before they were due to play us on the Saturday. With cheap train tickets already bought we got as far as Peterboro before the inevitable happened and it was called off, condemming me to a rather elongated and liquid lunch with the Fatty Tax Man.

It really shouldn't be allowed should it? The Friday Rugby I mean, not long liquid lunches.

Huddersfield Town/Huddersfield Giants

Leeds United/ Hunslet

Well it is a highly important cup quarter final between Sale Sharks & Saracens!
