Albion's home game against Notts County tonight is under threat, with 90 minutes left until kick-off.

Referee Phil Crossley has yet to decide whether the match can go ahead.

He is concerned about a frosty patch in the penalty box at the west end of the stadium.

Groundstaff are using the giant mobile lighting rig and heaters, powered from the press room, on the affected area.

The rest of the pitch is covered by a light dusting of snow, the lines have been painted yellow and, if the game goes ahead, an orange ball will be used.

But this message has been on the website for hours - the temperature is dropping still snowing in areas of sussex and sussex police are advising not to travel and yet still no decision

Maybe there hasn't been an update because NOTHING HAS CHANGED - would they do a running update in the lead up to every game say every 30 minutes saying stuff like "12:00 - it's still hot and sunny and the game is still on unless something dramatically changes"

It may well be called off still but that decision hasn't been taken yet so they can't tell you about it can they

Of course that message has been on the website for hours, because...NOTHING HAS CHANGED, THE GAME IS STILL ON !

That IS a decision.

It's not rocket science.

I am bringing my Digital camera if it is on as the sight of Inigo Calderon standing with an orange ball at his feet, his Jesus beard filled with snow and his hair frozen with yellow lines and a blizzard in the background. FLAIR PERSONIFIED!!!
