Will the Leeds game be on

[mrhairy]

We've got our tickets and plan to go by train. 30 hours of snow from 4pm forecast. So is there a danger it is off and do we get a refund ?

 

[GYM]

Game will be on. Only sleet forecast this afternoon then nothing else. Roads and rail services appear to fine so should be OK

This morning it was -4 in Leeds about 1 mile from the ground. We have not had any snow since Saturday but what is down is not getting a chance to clear. There is some rail and sleet forecast for today which I would imagine will freeze to ice as soon as it hits the ground.

As Gym said, I would think it would be on but keep an eye on the local forecasts

If the game is postponed then you will get a refund on your match tickets.

It does.

It will only heat 6% of the pitch though

Yes it does, 59 miles of underground hot water pipes according to their website.

Its currently raining lightly in Bradford and i'm considerably higher up tham Elland Road part of Leeds. The forecast is for it to turn to sleet and maybe rain, depending on which forecast you go on. It's a barmy 1 degree at the mo, it was -6 at 4am (was working nights last night!)...

Without wishing to curse things, but i'm sure it'll be on tomorrow but wear some thick socks!!

 

[HalifaxSeagull]

maybe light snow, not maybe rain (still half asleep!)

Without wishing to curse things, but i'm sure it'll be on saturday but wear some thick socks!!

corrected!

i live in york and it is snowing right now, has been for about an hour. not looking great.

 

[Notters]

It does.

Heated pitches aren't supposed to help with snow though, are they? Just frost I believe.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Trains will run fine through the snow, might cause problems but it hasnt really so far for any of the snow. If your worried (and not using advances) travel on an earlier train. If it was called off i would of thought you could get a refund on your ticket, train company wont refund your ticket though.

 

[HalifaxSeagull]

corrected!

Been on nights no idea what day it is today to be honest!!

 

[Fungus]

Yes it does, 59 miles of underground hot water pipes according to their website.

Blimey, where's the boiler? Sheffield?

 

[HalifaxSeagull]

Just checked metcheck - 9 overnight friday to sat, it maybe frost that's the biggest concern.

check out metcheck with postcode LS1.


Post match food:
Changing the subject (again) for the best post match curry head for Akbars in Bradford (i am)! BD3 8LF for the Sat Nav, it's on the Leeds - Bradford Road and only a 15-20min drive. If you cant get into Akbars - it's very popular, the road is a bit of a 'curry mile', the nearby Zouks / Saffron / Agraah are all equally good 'glass fronted palaces of good'... and if you continue you'll get into Bradford centre where the kashmir / Karachi / Mumtaz await. (I've made myself hungry - it it wrong to go for a curry brunch?!)

Snowing in Crap Town since 4pm , could be touch and go with freezing temperatures tonight and tomorrow night.

I think the GAME will go ahead. Access to the stadium and the pich will be ok. Leeds havent had a game called off in something like 30 years my Leeds office tells me.

BUT whether the trains will run from LKX is an ENTIRELY different matter

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Snowing in Wetherby (14 miles to the Esat of Leeds as of now). It'll be on, but wrap up warm
