There must be a big doubt, if it passes that inspection there’ll probably be one in the morning, it will be the shaded area’s of the pitch that will be the concern

[Danmckay456]

Another Tuesday night becons

[silent majority]

Its probably to stop the away team from travelling and incurring costs.

Looking at the cover’s on the pitch, you would think we are back in the 70s a joke

Feels like a pp is coming.  Quite clear areas out the sun aren't going to thaw out at all.

[roversdude]

Guess it will be have a look about 2 ish but if the south area is not getting sun can’t see it being on. Was really looking forward to a game too

The problem is that it’s still going to -1 at 10am tomorrow

The problem is that it’s still going to -1 at 10am tomorrow

..and -4/-5 and foggy overnight.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a chance of it going ahead, although happy if I’m wrong, not relishing another Tuesday night game!!

they don't cover the whole pitch that's the issue

There is a positive if the game is postponed. It could mean we might not get the awful Andy Haines as the referee for the rearranged date.

Just a thought Helicopters are used for flying frost protection over Vineyards or what about  one or two
hot air balloons tethered to the pitch or hot water in the sprinklers, blow several space heaters under the pitch cover.

[silent majority]

They’ll be using the heat lamps I would have thought.

[Filo]

They’ll be using the heat lamps I would have thought.

That’ll cost a few quid, they should be on now before the inspection, freezing fog expected tonight, I can’t see this being on at all

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Just to add given how many colds and viruses about would anyone be bothered if it is off?

YES ME

the covers that I can see on the pitch will only keep off frost if it’s -1 at tops -2 so primitive that we use in 2023

[ncRover]

It’s 6C!!

Do you sell frost covers or some kind off rost covers expert?

[Filo]

It’s 6C!!

Try a little experiment, put some ice cubes outside and see how long they take to thaw out

Speak for yourself, my whole house been full of it for week, I'd much rather the game be when it's warmer, nothing worse than our stadium when it's cold (which always feels about 5 degrees colder than everywhere else).

Have you a better solution?

Well they should have had the Inspection by now , the temperature is dipping from now on , so the pitch ain't going to get any softer than it is at this moment in time.
The Tranmere team Coach must be about to set off as well you would have thought.

If its soft enough now it should be soft enough by KO tomorrow
