Title: Frost
Post by: Barmby Rover on January 06, 2026, 02:26:52 pm
Predicted for every night this week, not exactly warm in the day too. Will the cup tie be off?

I’ve just been on the BBC weather page and the lowest temperature for Doncaster in the next 4 days or so is a couple of hours of 0 degrees

Yeah I can’t see this game being a issue to be honest.

A section of River by the Boat Inn was still frozen this afternoon around 3pm with the temp around 3 degrees. 

I guess the groundsman will have to work hard to give the pitch every chance being careful not to leave it covered for too long and kill the grass while limiting the frost by night.

When I went to the gym at the ground this morning it was -5 and Ice in places around the ground still , unless the weather really picks up I cannot see the game going ahead

I’ve said the same on another thread. I think people are underestimating the ground level temperatures. Really hope it’s on but if the pitch was frozen on Sunday I reckon it’s twice as hard now

I thought the bit of rain last night would soften the ground up, but then it has frozen again, the ground is hard as rock.

Forecast keeps changing can't make its mind up on rain or snow or both
