Does anybody actually know how bad the pitch is and how effective the heaters are likely to be? McPhlea?!

Don't like the sound of this...I fear the game will be called off...great if covers work, but then what about the areas in and around the ground...Health and Safety will be having a field day getting these games called off this weekend!

Fixtures in the lowers are being postponed left, right and centre.
I didn't realise it was that bad down there. It's chilly here upon Tyne but not postponement chilly.

7 Games called off in our league. On the bright side, if our game goes ahead and we win, we're top of the league  |

Last year virtually the only game that went ahead in league 1 was us v Sheff Wedensday at home. We won as well! So the pitch covers must be pretty good?

Can't believe new grounds haven't got undersoil heating. Is it very expensive ??

That was the weekend of the snow, of which we received very little! Frozen pitches due to sub-zero temperatures are a different matter I'm afraid. |

It's bone dry here in Swindon - unless we get rain/snow and then it freezes, I can't see that being a problem. |

We could really do with it being on, don't need any more midweek fixtures.
The temperatures being forecast for tonight worry me though.

Temperatures forecasted tonight in Swindon aren't expected to be as low as last night but will still be around -3c mark.
The only problem is temperatures tomorrow won't get much above 0c all day according to report

It's not just the condition of the pitch, there is snow forecast for 3 pm tomorrow.
Getting home could be fun.

True especially as it's meant to rain too so the rain & slow will probably make the roads quite slushy if the snow settles
