No worse than our Ipswich match then and that was fine to go ahead....

£10 would return £1950.

 

£1940 profit.

I can't see the club allowing this to be cancelled. 

 

A top Championship team with a new stadium costing in excess of 70 million having a game called off for a bit of snow would be embarrassing. 

 

I don't doubt the snows falling well but I'm sure the club will take the necessary precautions and actions to make this go ahead.

 

Side note,  Brentford are a team I'd really like to see enjoy a spell in the Premier League.

In the past these games might have been called off also due to fan safety.... as no fans, this should be straight forward!

Do you know how this is calculated,  would live to know!

I've heard the huskies pulling the team coach, are having a rest and bowl of winalot at Watford Gap.

Yeah - it's snowing buckets down here atm.   I guess under pitch heating only does so much?   it all works!

It used to be that matches were called off due to safety of fans. Not a problem nowadays.

Snowing Heavy here in Brentford/Twickenham area at the moment (11:23) but expected to stop soon, match should be OK as our new ground has undersoil heating, can't see any reason why it should be called off.

I was there, December 2004 we won 2-1, and very lucky at that as far as I remember, and it's now stopped snowing here.

The pitch has under soil heating I believe.

I think games are often called off because of snow with concerns about fans attending the matches and conditions outside the stadium. This shouldnt be an issue today???

[Blue ROI]

Would it be so bad if the game was called off?

[turlo]

their new stadium has underground heating and snow has slowed down in west london. just plow the roads for the LCFC bus to arrive!
