The game has to be in doubt with the forecast as it is. How good are our covers?

If last winter is anything to go by... fucking amazing. Pretty sure we were one of the only club's in the leagues to carry on playing during that big freeze in Decemeber. Not that it worked in our favour...

I'm sure gorundskeeper @MacPhlea can confirm, but I thought covers were good down to -4 ish.

-6 in Highworth last night but not a heavy frost surprisingly. The last time we had a postponement it was foggy all day and the temperature stayed below freezing. Hopefully the sun and frost covers will do the trick.

He's tweeted about snow on Saturday but nothing about the state of the pitch today. |

-11 here. Bloody cold!!
It won't provide much of an insight into whether Saturday's match will be on or not, but hey ho!

Whether the match is on/off will be more to do with what is going on on the roads and stadium. Pitch maybe perfectly playable but if the ground is full of ice and slippery the club will not risk. Or a more cynical view could be that Paolo will be happy that his players have a break  |

Just chatted to PDC who didn't give the impression he wanted the game off. He said he thought it would be on as covers are good enough, unless its -20 C or 6 foot of snow the night before !

Game on or off, Camping out Friday night for O***** tickets will be fun for myself then...slightly mental, but well worth the risk to see us give them a good hiding! |

As i say its nothing to do with the pitch,more of how the surrounding areas are for supporters and staff. |

I was just chatting to PDC, and he seemed distracted by the much touted increase in the price of lettuce

That's weird! I was on the phone again to Bugs Bunny and he kept asking about the chances of the Burton match being frozen out.

Or maybe not: "It was the poorest performance I have had since I have been at Southend," Sturrock fumed. "We were sluggish, lethargic and you cannot get away with being like that against a team like Swindon. They have played Tuesday, Saturday and Tuesday but it was hard to see which was the fresh team." http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/01022012/63/sturrock-slams-sluggish-shrimpers.html |
