BeeversLeftPeg Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Weather looking better today - and above freezing from early hours of the morning tomorrow. Plenty of time, and with the covers on and the heaters surely there's enough to ensure this one gets played?

Surely it has to be on... If not I'm starting to get worried about fixture pile up. Not enough to throw the cup match v Blackpool as some seem to be suggesting, but makes me think we need recruits just for numbers.  31 minutes ago, BeeversLeftPeg said: Weather looking better today - and above freezing from early hours of the morning tomorrow.

If you have something frozen solid in the freezer then put it in the fridge for 12 hours it still won’t have fully thawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Surface temperatures on the roads have been even lower than the air last couple of days. Takes some time for the ground to warm up. Cassy reckons they've had heaters on, which should make the difference though. Waste of cash if they don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a professional sports club ought to have hired in a few propane space heater and sheets. A couple of hay bales to keep a space between sheets and pitch and there you go.

Jol_BWFC Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’m not saying it will be frozen, I’m just commenting that the temps being 6 degrees tomorrow afternoon will have relatively little impact if it’s frozen until then. Anyway, glad to hear that the blanket is on. Keeping my fingers crossed for later. A league 1 club should be able to get this fixture on!

Your Adv. Single can’t be refunded but can be re-issued to different dates. Unfortunately I think this is our last London game but there may be routes through.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Can't "non refundable" tickets be refunded but with a £10 admin fee? They can on splitmyfare but not sure about Trainline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of date would be fine if we knew when the rearranged date would be as they’d need to be swapped before time of travel tomorrow morning đŸ™ƒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Thinking back to Shrewsbury away last season. That was an early kick-off, the temps were more severe and that was on. Should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
