Oh well.  Might have to be a Six Nations day instead, then.  Just when I was getting my Swindon mojo back.

I was doing that anyway. The game last night was good. The wife is Irish so going to be a tough one for me when they wallop us today! (Sorry all for the egg chasing chat on the match day Fred)

Pitch is fine but you can't expect people to travel and navigate surrounding areas when officials are advising no non-neccessary traveling.

FGR fans not happy about the call off, just sounds a lot like moaning for the sake of it because they are currently on a fairly good run of form, one even thinks Swindon is run by Stroud Council Cheesy

Quote
Really Huh?
Seems like they had no intention of playing us today based on yesterday's measly efforts to clear a bit of snow !!!

So have Stroud Council also closed the Nearby Brunel Shopping Centre and the Great Western Designer Outlet Village?

Interesting that rugby take a different approach. Bath v Gloucs is postponed today but are trying to play tomorrow or Monday. Given our proximity to Swindon that would work well?

I do find it amazing how pretty much every other business will be open despite such horrific safety issues. It’s amazing how countries with actual cold climates manage to stay safe despite a little bit of snow! More money wasted on travel today which we won’t see back!

So ..... even more frustrating then that Swindon Council couldn't put a few extra bins of grit/salt down in the football club car park to clear any areas of concern !!
As others have said I doubt the town centre or Outlet Village shops will be closed today ...........

To be fair to Swindon Council, and I suspect there will be little love for them on here, I suspect clearing the area around a football stadium was not their highest priority yesterday. When it comes to public safety I would expect key routes and areas around vital public facilities, like hospitals, to be top of their list for action...not trying to ensure a football match can go ahead, regardless of the significance for the teams involved.

 Assuming they go ahead, there are a number of important games.... Newport at Grimsby, a win or draw for Newport takes them above us, a win for Grimsby takes them above us, they both can't go above us... Should Oldham gain a point or better at Boundary Park v Morecambe they go above us.

 For those still harbouring belief in our PO destiny, then Exeter v Frachise is crucial.... although I'm wondering if it will be postponed at the last minute, just to piss Franchise off greatly.

 Basically if Grecians win then the PO gap goes out to 10 effectively 11, due to GD... with 30 games played.  This is why last week was a must win in order to stay in touch.

Macc could reduce their gap to us to 10, but unlikey as at Mansfield.....even if we drop 2 places to 14th, we still look ok for a finish somewhere between 12th and 16th.

Update..... Oldham gone, so we only drop one spot, which is good....

To be fair to those in Nailsworth, there probably isn't any snow there. Looking out my window I can see that everything has melted and gone. Was talking to a friend who has been working in Stratton for the last few days and he said there difference was stark.
