Go out at 12.30 today, check to see if its playable and if its not, call it. Its only going to get worse. Unless they're electric blankets.

That sounds a bit too much like common sense.

The irony is that it might be playable at 3pm.

Shrewsbury don’t have a home game until 29th after us, sold out away end and home tickets selling well they will make sure this is on

If the pitch is frozen it's frozen.  Not much they'll be able do about that regardless of how much they want it to be played.

Looking at the forecast it's going to be 0 degrees or below from 6pm tonight pretty much until kick off.

Absolutely but there’s also doing what you can to minimise it, no doubt teams who are ravaged with injuries etc won’t give two fucks

Bugger all I can find on their club website, apart from adverts.

Surely they'll be having a pitch inspection today?

Needs that currant bun up and on it early doors.

How much of the pitch would get it though?

Low sun this time of year, and stands creating shade. 

If its frozen now, can't seen it being right in time.

Would be typical!

 

Think the worse one I've endured was Spurs away in the FA Cup iirc, called off around 2pm with a waterlogged pitch as I was walking up to the ground.

Went port vale one year that was a late postponement

Aye, we heard on the tube escalator having just left the boozer. Crewe away was late as well.

Went to Luton on the travel club for a cup replay - got the motorway exit, police held the coach up for 10 mins then turned us around when the game was off. That was about an hour before kick off

I remember someone on here spreading malicious rumours that the 5-4 game at Peterborough was off at about 1445

Air temps.

Frozen ground takes ages to thaw if the air is only 3 degrees.

[Casino]

tranmere was late

not so late, lincoln

pretty sure we set up in a friendly in the 70s and gordon banks was supposed to be making his comeback - we were on the car park queuing

It's a brand new stadium, how the hell do they not have under pitch heating?!

You'd be surprised how many don't have it tbf

Got to hope that a good portion of the pitch will get the sun. Get the blowers on under the covers on the other half and we've got a fighting chance.

If they leave it until tomorrow then plenty of folk will already be on their way even by dawn.
