Covering the pitch in the first place would’ve helped
The road conditions are treacherous.Originally Posted by Auntie Andy
The pavements are treacherous.
It was -16 here this morning and i live about 10 miles from Brentford.
The ground everywhere is frozen solid and has been for the last week.
If this game goes ahead I'll be amazed.
First it's the remoaners, then the rebel Tories, now it's the pavements and roads that are treacherous. Where will it end?
10 miles is a long way from Brentford. Weather conditions can
be very different.
I think it could go either way but London is not in a Red zone.
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
If the pitch is playable it should go ahead I say...you never see Tesco’s closed because the pavements are icy.
M6 services closed because of icy pavements & Morrisons closed because of a spider escaped from a fruit delivery. Sort of fits the crireria!
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.
It may be that the issue will be getting team and supporters from South Wales to London.
Agreed Paul
I think they’ll probably see what transpires overnight. They’ve got plenty of time to grit the area around the ground, and any snow lying on the pitch will help to stop it freezing. If they don’t get any more significant snowfall in London in the next 24-36 hours and if the M4 remains clear then it could be ok.
I wouldn't mind a postponement. Hopefully, full points from Barnsley and Birmingham will keep a great run going.
Get out there and play football with an orange ball.
It won't be long until football is cancelled when it's raining.
My football is cancelled tonight, we use a yellow ball, and we play inside....
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?
Common sense dictates the game should be postponed for this reason (people will travel in these conditions if there is a game), and the last thing we want to see is people involved in accidents for the sake of a football game.
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.
Didn't we have a game called at the CCS due to surrounding area being deemed unsafe even though the pitch was fine - early days of the new stadium?
I went down and shovelled snow that time. It was against Blackpool I think
That game went ahead, we drew 1-1. Pretty sure the only postponement at the new stadium was the Leicester match in December 2009.
We also had a game called off against Burnley. I think that’s the one the nobody’s rep was referring too.
Oh aye, Barnsley it was, February or march 2013 I think.
