It's Snowing in Walsall again!

[Black Country Seagull]

I may have Michael Fished my weather prediction of snow melting this morning as this is my view from the office in Walsall at 11 this morning! I hope they have the pitch covered now!

I challenge you to find that on google without it appearing on the NSC server!

Judging by that photo you must work for the Black Country Lapland Experience

Are your neighbours conifers just a bit intrusive ?

It's blatantly going to be called off at 12pm on Saturday when we're all getting off the train in Walsall. What are the chances of a definite answer on FRIDAY?

Don't really mind when it's called off. Already have train ticket and WILL be travelling whatever

Depends on the weather forecast.

It might be snowing, say, at 4pm Friday giving a couple of snow on the pitch, but then the forecast is for the snow to stop, a milder evening and night, then temperatures around 8ºC forecast for Saturday - what do you do?

 

[Dirty Dave]

Will probably go to Wolves v Preston as it's not too far away from Walsall. Villa v West Brom is also the same day and would be a good derby game but k/o may be a bit too early

 

[The Large One]

If that were the case, I'd expect a decision early on Saturday morning before any of us lot are too far out of Brighton.

8.00am? But the temperatures are still hovering around 2ºC...

It's a bastard, innit?

If that were the case, I'd expect a decision early on Saturday morning before any of us lot are too far out of Brighton.

I think are lot are due in Brimingham about 10.30am, so we will be there before the inspection I should imagine, unless the decent thing is done and the inspection is done on Friday

says on my Walsall ticket

Ticket will be valid on re-arranged date in case of postponement

No refunds will be given. <<<<

Oh yeah?, see you court Mr Bescot!

Blatantly illegal.

If its called off when you get there you can always go to chameleons

 

[The Large One]

Oh yeah, it's a tough one. You can't possibly be 100% AND have no risk of pissing people off. You either leave it late to give the game the best chance of being on, but if it's off you wind everyone up. Or you call it off early, but then it could be glorious sunshine on Saturday in Walsall.

If I had to make the decision I think what I'd do is do an inspection at about 10am on Saturday. Then, at least noone (apart from Brett!) will have travelled too far, but it is late enough not to be freezing night time conditions anymore.

If there's two inches of snow on the pitch, and the forecast is (a) for more and/or (b) overnight temperatures of -5ºC, then f*** it, postpone it there and then.

Other than that...
