Saturday's surely off then?

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Good luck if anyone is volunteering to clear the pitch and stands if need be, I'll be in the warm pub having a few pre-match beers wishing you all the best and hoping you get the game on for me.

 

[clippedgull]

Zero chance of ours going ahead.

mmm do I get a refund on my tickets?

If it's off, tickets will be valid for rearranged date, or you can get refund.

 

[Wilka]

Why not wait till Saturday morning? Colchester are not exactly coming far are they and with the weather set to improve seems a bit early to me!

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

But if the weather is due to be mild on Saturday, the snow will have melted by midday, no? Of course, believing a weather forecast is not exactly a wise course of action, I'll admit ...

 

[severnside gull]

colchester travel tomorrow so will have asked for an early inspection

rochdale v charlton also likely to be off

I'm hoping bristol v bournemouth goes ahead and the gas win - would be a bonus for us

It's likely to be mid week if it is rearranged and looking at his location, I doubt that he would get to a midweek game.

 

[Bigblonde1]

it'll be the fact the stands are covered in snow and all the walkways, that'll see the game called off .

Yeah, fair comment

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Did I read somewhere that the pitch isn't currently covered, ergo there is over a foot of snow on the pitch. Even if there is some kind of super thaw, where's the water going to go?

Match postponed - waterlogged pitch.

 

[Giraffe]

Personally I think with a few injuries and the squad needing a bit of strengthening and games next week we should make no effort to get it on.

Agreed. Any game we can get postponed until after we have signed our ACE new striker in January is good news.

Thanks

and thanks for the warning.

Saturday's entire SPL fixture list was called off yesterday.

Scottish nancies.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Saturday has been a no go since yesterday we have over a foot of snow out here and...IT'S HILLY. Its still a foot now, no thaw today and none tomorrow.

Tongdean lane and Withdean Road are more suited to Robin Cousins than doddery slightly pissed up Albion fans. The ref might say yes in the morning but a very nervous council will say no!

An old college pal of mine is having her film shown as part of Brighton's Cine-City festival, so no better way to spend a footie-less Saturday pm

Cine-City — The Dust Never Settles

 

[sir albion]

Why even bother with a pitch inspectionits the coldest night of the year tonight and still more snow around.You would need at least 3 days of warmer conditions to have any chance.

 

[brightonmark1234]

did they cover the pitch befor the snow came

 

[Conkers]

If anyone thinks all the snow will thaw in the 5 hours (max) the temperatures will climb above 0c are living in a dream world. We are talking about temps of 4c on Saturday, not 40c!
