whoareyaaa Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Im sure the pitch will be alright, cant the players just play the match and we can all watch it on TV. looks bad here...
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 They won't call it off until it's a lost cause, and rightly so. If we can play it, it should be played. Only in England do we let a bit of snow ruin our lives. In every other country they just grit the roads, clear the pathways and get on with it. The undersoil heating should stop the snow from settling and the pitch freezing and the gritters and a bit of elbow grease (get the snow shovels out) will stop the surrounding areas from being impassable. I completely agree. It's just that if I (and many other fans) do travel up and it is then called off, it will be a pain in the arse. That's life I suppose but still.
indierich06 Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I completely agree. It's just that if I (and many other fans) do travel up and it is then called off, it will be a pain in the arse. That's life I suppose but still. I highly doubt it will be called off - if they managed to play the game at Ipswich who had no undersoil heating at all, then this game will be one. Doubt there will even be any snow on the pitch. The only way it'll be called off is if there's a couple of feet of snow blocking the way to the stadium and I can't see it at the minute.
LcFc_Smiv Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 No snow in Sheffield If anyone wants to prevent the Loch Fyne restaurant from opening here though so I can have the night off work to watch the football I'd be very appreciative (also irrelevant).
Jace Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Bristol ... OMG !! Meant to be driving there and back tomorrow morning it's looking decent
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I think the next couple if hours will be crucial. If it stops, game on If it don't, game off I'd suspect
Jace Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Hope its on the weather will hopefully disrupt the aways teams schedule more than it will ours lets use this to our advantage like Ipswich did to us
The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Author Posted 18 January 2013 Snowing lightly but consistently in Coalville. Settling ib the college car park but the road to McDonald's looks fine RL say its still on annoubced at 1030am
coolhandfox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Couple of miles from the ground snow coming down fast but it about the size of someone's dandruff! This country is amazing, tiny bit of snow and it stops....
supernuk Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Doubt it will be called off, as someone said we are OTT in this country about snow, as long as the pitch is playable condidtion which i believe it will be on.
supernuk Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 i work in shopping centre, someone said blizzard, AS IF, its very light snow just looks worse due to wind.
Jace Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Couple of miles from the ground snow coming down fast but it about the size of someone's dandruff! This country is amazing, tiny bit of snow and it stops.... It might be a tiny ammount there but other areas in the UK are a metre deep
The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Author Posted 18 January 2013 Ticket office have just rang me and said although its snowing badly atm its still on Ticket office have just rang me and said although its snowing badly atm its still on
phillo Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Im outside ground just bought my ticket its still on
Mack Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 It will be the approaches to the ground that will get the game postponed.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Author Posted 18 January 2013 Again, the pitch will be fine. Just the paths around the ground. In fairness most of the people worrying are travelling big distances so you can understand their trepidation
Johnny Cash Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I think it will be cancelled and then common sense kicked in it will be on.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I used to call a teacher at school Dan Druff because of his flakey scalp. If he leant over you you got covered in his flakes. It made me physically sick the disgusting human being.
Deucalion Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Just the paths around the ground. In fairness most of the people worrying are travelling big distances so you can understand their trepidation I'm up for giving it a go but the other half is worried about getting back. I was stuck behind an accident on the M-6 for a few hours after a night game and it was not pleasant. Sub-zero temperatures wouldn't make it any more pleasant I suspect! I'm gutted but I don't think I'll be coming tonight. For the record, it has been snowing since 4pm yesterday in the Black Country and we have 3 or 4 inches.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Today is a rare occasion when women will stay in bed for 4 inches
FrankieADZ Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Again, the pitch will be fine. just hope the stands are ok too, tho i suspect they are.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 coming down now quite heavy in Hinckley. Settling quickly on the roads as well. So the heavier stuff is definitely on the way it seems
The People's Hero Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 It will be the approaches to the ground that will get the game postponed. This is the concern, hope someone is out gritting or taking care of it (or has been previously, bit late to grit now)
Chairman of the Bored Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Think I'll be leaving the peddle bike at home for this one. The Long March from Beaumont Leys to commence at about 4pm (calling in at one or two hostelries along the way). I hate arriving at the ground and finding out it's off (Spurs many years ago). So it better be on.
