Any idea if they have covers on? Very up for Saturday and could do without another postponement.

That's not good news as I am in London this weekend and have tickets for the match.  Won't be able to go to the rescheduled match either. |

If this game goes down the pan then i doubt my backup plan of Newbury races will go ahead either.

I have no backup plan. Was going to be the missus's first ever Swindon game as well! I'm sure she is gutted right enough!! |

Trouble is, even though it won't be as cold on Friday night, the frost will have already set in from tonight and tomorrow... even if they have covers on it will only protect down to -3'c.
If you consider that we had 2 cover layers and heaters going it gives you some idea of the chances of it going ahead.
My prediction is that, if the weather forecast doesn't improve drastically, it's 99% certain to be off - can't see Barnet making anywhere near our effort to get the game on...

Forecasting heavy snow for Friday. No chance if that happens as well.

It's gonna snow Friday night and I don't think Barnet will bust any bolllox trying to get it sorted either as mentioned above!  |

Selfishly I hope it's off, as I can't make it Saturday.
Would be surprised if goes ahead, with the snow and low temperatures forecast.

Someone said Barnet picked up a few injuries last night so that might sway how much they try to get it on.

Ground up here has been frozen for a week, and going to get colder. I reckon 1% chance it will be on if they have covers, which i doubt.

They could ask Cheltenham to lend them some straw, although it didn't work for them.
