[Kinky Gerbil]

Slightly off topic, but I was flicking through a man utd forum and that mick the red has about 8k posts on it, not bad for someone who has turned there back on the club?

4.30 is a bit late for any Albion fans going up there isn't it?

4.30 is a bit late for any Albion fans going up there isn't it?

And for any Man Utd thinking of going even worse.

 

[Napper]

surely off

 

[jjt1976]

Yeah very late but it's true it's on sky sports news now

The heated covers are staying on until 4pm and Bury FC’s covers will be removed at 5:30pm.

The gritters have been deployed on Gigg Lane and the stadium car park.

We have done everything possible to get the game on and we are as certain as we can be that the game will go ahead.

The match referee will be arriving at 4:30pm and will check the pitch then to satisfy himself the game can go ahead. A further announcement will be made after this.

We urge supporters to check official communications for any updates throughout the day.

--------------------------

Halifax side of Pennines:- just sub-zero temperature, and clear blue sky horizon to horizon, all day so far. Temp now -0.9 deg C.

Expected to be like this until after the match, snow not expected Manchester side of Pennines.

SOCCER!

SSN saying pitch inspection at 2.30

 

[empire]

[jjt1976]

Changed to 4.30 on bottom now, that's way too late for fans that are travelling

Ant footy is a new one on me. I guess that's what the away supporters at Withdean experience.

I can recall an open-air rock concert I went to where the stage was far away described as ant rock.

4.30 is a nightmare. Surely a fair few of those going would be turning up/have already turned up in the area by then!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Its like the torquay game last year!

 

[Marty McFly]

Gonna have to delay my departure a bit...but it means more drinks in Liverpool beforehand

Feel sorry for anyone coming from Brighton/Further afield

I agree, ants will freeze in this weather, poor little buggers.
