Whats the chance of the game being off

[Foolg]

Oh f*** off, if it is i'll be majorly pissed off. Travelled down from Sheffield for this game which cost me a fair bit, and certainly wouldn't be able to afford to do it again in a couple of weeks time.

As others said, forecasts seem to be 5 or 6 degrees all day. That and heaters/covers (however ancient they are ) will be more than enough i'd have thought.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Game will be on - there's a slight snow flutter, but not exactly a blizzard.

 

[clippedgull]

Yes there is, as it's now snowing in Haywards Heath.

Trust me to believe the BBC ! Is it a heavy fall or just flakes?

Not heavy but its settling; the roofs are white now.

 

[chucky1973]

its already a barmy 0 degrees in Crawley, game will be fine

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

They will probably just set fire to Sainsburys.

I lolled.

Quite a heavy frost up here this morning but frankly not that bad. Melting now anyway. If push comes to shove I'm sure that the Selhurst ground staff know where to borrow a few braziers.

I'm close to Croydon at work, there was frost but no worse than usual. I would be surprised if this is postponed.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Snow isn't really relevant. It's frost (and the overall temperature) that would affect the pitch. Selhurst has never been a great pitch traditionally.

 

[Everest]

Selhurst has never been a great ground traditionally.

Corrected for you.

 

[LamieRobertson]

best wrap up then cud b a tad chilly there tonight.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Any word of a pitch inspection?

We've only had about five frosts this winter though!

 

[Gritt23]

I'm in Orpington and it's chuffin' cold. Problem is going to be how quickly the temperatures drop when it gets dark. I wouldn't rule out a postponement tbh.

-2 projected in Croydon at 8pm tonight. Doesn't look too good !!!!

 

[DanielT]

We have covers and heaters

going to look on google earth to see if I can spot the electric cable leading out of the ground and plugged into someone else's supply. probably an unsuspecting charity shop nearby

 

[Braders]

Snowflakes seen in Patcham.

Barely!!! and nothings settling

 

[Nibble]

Of course it's gonna be on , stop being such a panicked bunch of spazzy little kids.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Corrected for you.

Why thank you. How silly of me

If there was any chance of it being postponed then I would imagine they would do it very, very soon.

I cant imagine the police would be too happy with 3,000 Brighton fans wandering around Croydon with no game to go to if they left it until the temperature started dropping tonight.
