foxesfan1989 Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Looking forward to the game today. If the pitch is playable, lets play. If you can't make the game that is a shame, but the consolation is that it is on TV. No reason to call it off other than player safety, if that is not in danger, then bring on the football.
Munshi Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Ian Stringer â€@StringerSport #lcfc game is on at this stage BUT if you're going then LEAVE NOW. The roads are packed. Been at St Nics Circle for 20mins not moving Edit- just seen its been posted already.
Guest Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Just leaving northampton now. Fingers crossed. Does anyone park on that industrial estate behind home base? Worried about not being able to get back up the hill. I've parked there before but usually park on the cinema car park and walk from there.
Alf Bentley Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 My lady left work in Conduit Street at half past three and she's only made it as far as the Time Bar so far. Shocking conditions. I often leave home and have only made it as far as the pub at the end of the road 3 hours later. Shocking condition my liver is in!
Captain... Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Ian Stringer â€@StringerSport #lcfc game is on at this stage BUT if you're going then LEAVE NOW. The roads are packed. Been at St Nics Circle for 20mins not moving Leave now, fook off, this is ridiculous call the sodding thing off. What the fvck, that is a ridiculous thing to say, the roads are jammed with traffic, I know why not encourage more people on to the roads, rather than wait a couple of hours and leave after rush hour, travelling by public transport excepted.
Stuliasz Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 If you're coming from Coalville, don't bother. You won't reach Leicester in time. Pretty much the whole A511/A50 citybound is at a standstill.
LJS Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I don't drive and if I don't hear anything in the next half hour I'm going to chance waiting for the Nuneaton-King Power Stadium football bus. I can't see this being on though. Those calling on others to 'man up' need to get a grip of themselves. It doesn't matter if the conditions are playable if people can't get there to see it. You may well be right that people are not driving the way they shoul be (not that I'd know) but that doesn't alter the fact. It would be madness for this to go ahead.
artursteppe Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 It is the situation around the grounds, for health and safety and IF people can make it to the ground. Not about the pitch. Don't go dude, stay safe, put a onesie on and curl up in front of the telly with a strawberry milk shake, then you won't have to worry about anything.If the police were going to stop the game it would have been done by now. I live in the country, half hour drive to the city on a good day, I'm going, but then I'm not a Wus.
Milton Keynes Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 To all that will find it dangerous to get to the game tonight, stay at home or go to the local pub and watch the game, don't risk it if the risk is too high. At the end of the day its only a game a football you're missing, 1 out of 46. I won't be getting there but i'll happily cheer us on and hope we get the three points.
Kitchandro Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 'Ok snow. This is your last chance to surrender. You fvcking cock-a-roach. Say hello to my little friend - the leaf blower.'
Tommy G Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 If you think about it the reason its chocka is because everyone is leaving/left work early + combine that with the snow its causing chaos. Is it acceptable to wear wellies??
Babylon Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Good luck soldier! (PS belated congrats on your win, superb stuff!) I should add the bus I was on is still on Melton Road, I got off and walked it. Just getting in bus no.2 to wiggy woo hoo.
DorsetFox9 Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 could this be more popular than the Nicky Maynard thread??
Happy Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I am leaving at 5pm from Glenfield should make it.
kingfox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 You wimp. I thought you lived near the ground. You normally post on the boards a few minutes before kick off. How hard can it be for you to put on an extra pair of socks and a city hat and walk to the ground? The amount of hot air you generate you could probably clear the roads on the way down. I will be walking not driving, but leaving now how ridiculous, it's only 4.30 just crazy. If it's on I will brave it, bang 5 layers on, thermal socks and my Dad's boots and hit the Great Central. However if Stringer says leave now, some fans have said they can't make it already, plus Middlesbrough is 3 hours away, and Simon Thomas who does the Football League on Sky, only went 8 miles in 90 minutes, and that was before people left for work.
Bilbo Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Where has all the British determination/grit gone from society? It's a couple of inches of snow, health and safety has gone mad. People saying this should be called off - what for? Because it might take longer to get to the ground - big whoop. Just drive slowly and get on with it because that is exactly what I will be doing.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Team for tonight just announced: 1. Frosty the Snowman 2. Ice T. 3. Snow White 4. The Icicle Works 5. Eddie the Eagle (on skis) 6. Torvill and Dean 7. Jon Snow 8. Snow Patrol 9. Professor Coldheart 10. Jack Frost 11. Sister Sledge
Leicesterpool Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 For me I'm just going to stay in and watch Back To The Future Part 2, while having a Chinese and listen to the game on the radio with the warm fire on.
artursteppe Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 But, even if there isn't that amount of snow, the temperature is not going to get above -2, so the pitch will freeze and that will make players wary of their movements. We got undersoil heating. The light's on, but there's no-one at home - Hello!
Kitchandro Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I'm watching it on telly so I'm desperate for it to be on

At this rate I'll make it to the ground for next years fixture!!

See you for injury time then matey. No one's moving anywhere right now.
