October 26, 200916 yr Anyone know if the 3pm Kick Off is set in stone or likely to be made a lunchtime game (as used to be norm with "high profile" fixtures).
December 23, 200916 yr Game will be on. I was over there yesterday and theres actually less snow than some other areas. There is no more snow due and temperatures are due to rise tomorrow. Snow will be gone for Boxing Day when heavy rain is forecast. Off due to waterlogging / floods then.
December 23, 200916 yr They won't let you in a ground with a bottle of pop, I have never had any mither taking a hip flask into the Reebok, a steward told me they aren't allowd to confiscate hip flasks I'm gonna get mesen a (Child Bearing) Hip Flask then
December 23, 200916 yr This snow tonight was forecast, and it's not going to affect the pitch. Will the gritters be working on xmas day though to sort out surrounding roads, doubt it. We will have to hope the snow stops soon and the Burnley gritters do the business tomorrow. Otherwise, as someone else has said, Christmas is ruined. ( no more snow forecast after tonight )
December 23, 200916 yr It's snowing at the moment in Burnley It isn't, to the best of my knowledge. I'm currently approx. 3 3/4 south of Turf Moor as the crow flies, but at least 300m higher up! It isn't snowing where I live, but we have had more than 2 inches this evening. However the main roads are still clear and the gritters are out.

Fair enough.. im just going off what people are saying on the Burnley forum..
December 24, 200916 yr Jusssi Steinsson Cahill Knight Robinson Muamba Basham Cohen Taylor Davies Klasnic SUBS: Al Habsi, Ricketts Elmander Gardner Ward Hunt???? THought he had left country M Davies Samuel A O'Brien Shittu Source; a well known broad sheet that rhymes with The Hardian. Wheres Lee gone. Or is it all lies lies and more lies Edited December 24, 200916 yr by Ratwhite
December 24, 200916 yr Smells like BS - surely Muamba is banned for Burnley as he didn't serve his ban at Wigan
December 24, 200916 yr Smells like BS - surely Muamba is banned for Burnley as he didn't serve his ban at Wigan Yes, Muamba will still be banned and i seriously doubt Lee will have been dropped all together as he's been our most consistant performers as of late. He's go with the same team we plaed against City & Wet Spam
December 24, 200916 yr It was snowing, but it stopped. There's some thawing to do if this game is to proceed
December 24, 200916 yr There's some thawing to do if this game is to proceed It doesnt seem as cold today as the last few days, hopefully a bit of rain will wash it all away!

December 24, 200916 yr It was snowing, but it stopped. And then we had another 3 inches here overnight. Not looking great at present, but it does seem a bit warmer today. They will NOT be gritting tonight or Christmas Night, though.

December 24, 200916 yr Those that are going keep a eye on here,fingers cross eh http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/page/La...1911678,00.html Edited December 24, 200916 yr by M G WHITES
December 24, 200916 yr They sound like theyve got lots of people working to try and get the game so i reckon it will be ok. Them Burnley lot are bonkers and they wont want a game off! At lest they are trying to get it sorted unlike Wigan who just took fucking pictures! P.S If this is called off we are still gonna be playing when the world cup is on!
December 24, 200916 yr In fairness, Burnley are doing everything they can, BUT if there's snow on Xmas Day, this will affect the roads. The roads won't be gritted on Xmas Night (they never are!) and if the police feel that conditions aren't safe for their officers & horses, they'll call the game off.
December 24, 200916 yr So whats the back up plan then in case it is called off??? All dayer around Bolton??
December 24, 200916 yr So whats the back up plan then in case it is called off??? All dayer around Burnley?? If the game does go ahead, it will mean there's been a lot of hard work done by BFC. Unlike them Wiggin t@ssers,who never wanted that game on.
December 24, 200916 yr COACH UPDATE If the match is on, BWFC have just confirmed that the coaches will travel as planned from Car Park A (in front of the hotel), as this car park is clear(ish).
Anyone know if the 3pm Kick Off is set in stone or likely to be made a lunchtime game (as used to be norm with "high profile" fixtures).
