Game could be off Saturday

[ReadingViking]

Re: 3G pitches - Stenhousemuir v Cowdenbeth was called off tonight due to the weather and Ochilview has a 3G pitch.

[drfchound]

That probably means that about 200 people will have to find something else to do tonight.

[1879Rovers]

I remember clearing the pitch and terraces at Belle Vue for the FA Cup tie with Cambridge in the early 80s. Me and my two mates were on the back page of the DEP clearing the Rossington End.

Also a game against Reading when Rovers were desperate to get it on so Ian Snodin wouldn't be cup tied for the FA Cup tie at Everton the following week. Absolutely freezing and I am sure we lost 4-0.

[RoversAlias]

Can anyone remember a few years back when we played at home to Middlesbrough on the Friday before Christmas I don't think I've ever been as cold in my life as that night I remember the second half when there keeper kept going up too the referee and saying the the penalty area was freezing over trying to get the game postponed

Yes I think we won that game because by injury time, the goalie had frozen into an ice statue and therefore Stock had an easy finish.

[drfchound]

We will be fine, doncaster never gets bad snow.

Agree on the snow thing Tonyb but it could still leave a frozen pitch.

[karldew]

You were saying?

[rich1471]

The snow is bad now and with the cold temperature there is a real danger the game will be off

What's the forecast like for Thursday night into Friday morning?

Got a flight due to land at Donny Airport at 8.00am and I can do without the magical mystery tour of diverting to a different airport, then having to get back to Donny.

What’s the problem did yoy see the pitch at Peterborough v Walsall last night.
A throw back to the 1970’s  Snow covered pitch with an orange ball. Get on with it. Well done to them.

As stated above though it isn't the snow, it's the pitch freezing over that'll kill it.

That and it being unsafe to get to the ground.

If the club/council can’t clear the “surrounding areas” it’s pretty poor.

[silent majority]

Being completely, 100% selfish, I hope it is called off as I'm out of the country and can't make it.

It isn't just that, I've been shocked this morning at just how many have got into work. Those that haven't by and large aren't because of the road situation or being snowed in but because of the school closures and the lack of child care. I imagine the Council as well as most other businesses are the same. Add to that the still falling snow and any clearing of it would be pointless. I personally can't see the game being on Saturday.

If the snow is as bad on Saturday as it is today the fans won’t be able to get to the match on time.
I have just got back home after dropping the wife off at work in Donny.
We left Hatfield at 8.10 and I got home at 10.30.
Some ridiculously slow drivers out there holding traffic up.
Some cars abandoned causing queues waiting to get past them and can’t because of oncoming traffic.

For those that have got in, theres the nightmare of trying to get hime later

A couple of hours in a loading shovel and I'd have it cleared

you say drivers going slow on the roads, they do right driving anything more than slow this weather and they are asking for trouble, it is far to dangerous

I agree with you in one respect, but at the same time if drivers are scared of driving in it they should n't go out and drive in it

[the vicar]

It's not as straight forward as that, it's nothing to do with being scared as the snow melts it makes it like an ice skating rink, I went out in the car this morning and it was sliding all over if I went more than 20 miles an hour

I am working in Manchester tomorrow if it stays like this I am not going nowhere yesterday was bad enough getting there.

You don't need to tell me about it, I was working in it last night, done lots of snow driving, lots of people just don't know how to drive in it. Stay off your brakes, get in a higher gear as possible and take corners smoothly, no erratic steering, and guve yourself plenty of room to stop

Buy a Subaru then it's not a problem. Every morning i get run of the road by Audis on the long road from WWS to Blaxton. This morning was payback time!

I think people think owning a German car gives you licence to drive like a Kitson with no consequences.

[sheffield exile1]

Still blizzarding here in Sheffield, my sister-in-law on her way home as BT are closing the building in Barlborough I believe...nothing would be on here at the moment sporting wise except tobogganing...

[the vicar]

[Bessie Red]

It's only Wednesday who knows with any certainty what the weather will be like come 3.00 Saturday!!
