Covering the pitch in the first place would’ve helped
The road conditions are treacherous.Quote:

The ground everywhere is frozen solid and has been for the last week.
If this game goes ahead I'll be amazed.
I hope it doesn't go ahead , firstly for the safety of the fans and secondly because even though we are a physical team , bad weather turns games like this into lotteries
First it's the remoaners, then the rebel Tories, now it's the pavements and roads that are treacherous. Where will it end?Quote:

Latest forecast for the area is not too bad, with no snow from Friday on and about 3or 4 degrees on Saturday.
Could be O. K.
Think they may get a load dumped on them tomorrow
Wouldn't play Morrison in this weather.Slippery conditions are no good even if your groin is in good shape.
Agree with that. My groin is in great shape but I'm not leaving the house today.Quote:

Get out there and play football with an orange ball.
It won't be long until football is cancelled when it's raining.
I wouldn't mind a postponement. Hopefully, full points from Barnsley and Birmingham will keep a great run going.
Would a game be postponed for that reason ? I know games are called off because of conditions around a ground, but can't remember a game being called off because the away fans live in a snow storm?Quote:

I was thinking this as well, Brentford could put a stop to our good run of form as they’re a difficult side to play against.Quote:

Actually the Brentford fans are saying that the pitch at Griffin Park has covers and heaters too. And the areas around the stadium aren’t too bad. Still a decent chance it’ll go ahead.
There was a game called off when it was found out the under soil heating was installed but the riddler never sanctioned a boiler or whatever was needed to heat the pitch!
Leicester, December 2009, we all fecked off to Newport to watch a game.Quote:

Oh aye, Barnsley it was, February or march 2013 I think.Quote:
