Today's game (Merged) - NOW CALLED OFF

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

They better make their mind up before I leave The Heath.

The officials have said the game is ON whether something happens between now and the game starting, or indeed during the game, is not up to the club.

Well, im making a decision not to go - cant see it going the distance even if it does start. Plus, id rather go to the pub and be warm

 

[Evil Edna]

He took the photo onto facebook and i took it off there , i dont think he knows i done it but i struggled

Haha at lest you gave it a go and it worked, lots of people out there would shy away!

 

[Scoffers]

Whatever happened to allowing human adults the ability to make up their OWN minds.

For f*cks sake. If you the game is on and you want to go then by all means take things carefully but still go. Bloody health and safety brigade.

because if someone slips over and breaks their leg, they'll sue the council or the club, or both !

Plan to leave crowborough early to give extra time to drive there anyone need a lift

Worth checking the BBC travel news here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/sussex/roads/unplanned/

This makes me worried: A26 Kent - Severe delays, queueing traffic and hazardous driving conditions on A26 London Road in both directions between the A264 Church Road junction in Tunbridge Wells and Earwig Corner in Lewes, because of snow.

And this: A22 East Sussex - Hazardous driving conditions and queueing traffic on A22 in both directions between the B2102 junction in Uckfield and Boship Roundabout in Hailsham, because of ice and snow.

Er yes it is, If the safety officer feels like there is a safety issue he can call it off at any point!

Right... having been down there for the last 2 hours and seen the pitch and the stands, it should be on. The snow has set on the pitch and the covers are off and they are currently blowing away the snow as it is obscuring the lines on the pitch. I personally felt the pitch looked a bit hard yet every member of the ground staff I have spoken to have been very easy going and said it "should" be on. Also spoke to Gus and his reply to the same question was " Fuckin hell, I'm not playing so I don't care".

Just to add the stand and running track are not frozen in any way shape or form and neither is the outside of the ground.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Is there an option of playing the game, but not letting anybody watch it?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Someone from work tried to get home fron Brighton to Crawley and spent an hour getting past Three Bridges, another turned around after an hour and a hlaf and has given up and come back to the office to wait until the traffic sorts itself out.

Decision made, really disappointed if it goes ahead and I'm not there but I am staying in Kent tonight. Roads look to much like hard work and I think this could be Gillingham all over again when I got to Mill Road to hear it was off and drove straight back.

 

[Notters]

I can't believe how fairweather some people are! Even if there was only 1% chance of it going ahead and I had to trek across the Andes to get there I'd still do it for a bit of footy.

 

[Trigger]

Well if you lot aren't going then I've no chance of getting there from Preston Park, its way too far!!! Plus my winky is all shrivelled!!!

I dont think anyone who goes to Withdean can be called fairweather !

Said Notters in BN1! I'll be giving it a go but suspect I'll be late - even if it goes ahead.

 

[Bigtomfu]

I am only saying what the radio said and thinking of people safety - you also need to think about people that have mobilty issues and the elderly and young

Yes correct, let people that fall into those categories make their own reasoned, and experienced minds up.

It just pains me to hear local and national media sensationalise all manner of weather events such as this. How in gods name would we all cope if we lived in Canada?

Some of us would clearly be entrenched in our own homes from October through to March and most likely starve to death before risk a walk on a little bit of crunchy ground.

 

[Notters]

The trains are fine though.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Er yes it is, If the safety officer feels like there is a safety issue he can call it off at any point!

Yes, but a the present moment it's on- if the temp means the pitch freezes during the game, the club aren't to know that now are they.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

If only Diana were still alive. She'd know what to do.

Good on you lad, it's the effort that counts. I'd be down there helping them to clear the concourses if I didn't have a slipped disc :s

 

[Lord Bracknell]

This could easily turn into one of the great NSC threads of the future ...

Do you remember the night we all tried to get to Withdean to watch Notts County?

... or even tomorrow ...

Just back from the game. It's 5.30 am and England are slaughtering the Aussies
