Isn't using a decimal to describe an imperial measure outlawed?

Will be after 29 March. No snow or even frost in Leicester. Just a dull winter's day. |

The Bolton League Cup saga included a postponed game. Sat in a pub in Bolton when the news came through.
That was due to rain though, I think. Town fans didn’t cover themselves in glory, either with one local pub smashed up.
Remember that one well, got as far as Knutsford - and swore about it all the way home. Have a funny feeling it was fog but not 100%. |

Well, if it was coming from you I suppose I wouldn't believe it So I just got the tape measure out and measured in my back garden. 6.5". 6.5" isn't a measurement. 6 1/2" or 16.5cm (165mm will do too) would be recognised. That's a fair chunk of snow to shift off the CG though. 0.165m x 100m x 64m = 1072.5m³or 0.18yd x 110yd x 71yd = 1405.8yd³ |

I do remember a game being called off late but then again there wasn't so much social media to get word around back then so it happened a couple of times IIRC, for the life of me I don't remember who it was against though I am afraid.
I know a lot of games were postponed back then because of severe frost and icing down in front of the Shrivenham Road stand which was probably to blame for 80% of all postponements back then.
No sorry not sure about the opponents at all but I do remember a few of very late call offs, less than 2 hours pre kick off was on occassions.
You are thinking of Darlington home 1986/87, the second promotion season with Macari. Called off quite late. I seem to remember it was later played, unusually, on a Thursday night |

Ooh. This could be the one... bet the handful, of Darlo fans who made the journey were well pissed off. |

How snowy in Swindon this morning? We had folk abandoning cars yesterday evening up this way. Is there a realistic prospect of game being on?

None of the snow in my bit of north Swindon has melted, but it has turned into blocks of ice
Zero chance this game gets played

Little birdie tells me that Lee Power and Steve Anderson are currently out on the pitch crawling along with a hairdryer trying to melt the snow

Centre of Swindon is like a fucking ice rink. Think it'll be postponed on H&S grounds irrespective of pitch conditions.
Good news really, gives the new boys a chance to bed in (and for me to stay in the warm).
