I see that heavy snow is predicted for the manchester area on saturday, hopefully they have got it wrong or if it does snow lets hope its not too bad, dont want the game being called off.

I hope its not off as dont get to see that many games up here, on the lunch time news they said it was -1 oC in Manchester so could easily be a frozen pitch :(

rochdale on a tuesday night for the replay, fucking ace  8)

Post by: townfanupnorth on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 20:18:26
I reckon that it will be off because its freezing up here and now they reckon manchester will have snow on friday as well, if it doesn't get called off due to snow it will be because the pitch was frozen.

Surely Rochdale have under pitch heating :x

Don't Rochdale have more games called off than anyone?


Title: Heavy snow predicted on saturday
Post by: townfanupnorth on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 22:09:55
The 2 games up north tonight have been called off the rotherham and oldham games are off due to frozen pitches so its not looking good with the weather to get alot worse in the next few days.

Current forecast is for 6 inches of snow early Thursday morning - for those that give a shit this is because a warmish atlantic front is bumping into the freezing cold air over the UK.  What noone is predicting is what's going to happen on Friday and Saturday - if things get warmer and it all melts then the game should be on.  If the arctic high takes over, everything will freeze and noone will get to play.

I really think that the rochdale game will be off.

Seen the weather forecast today it's been updated, apparently manchester will have snow or sleet and freezing temperatures on thursday, friday and saturday, it's really not looking good, looks like no football this weekend, i can see alot of games being called off!!

Brrrrrrr 'tis cold up north - a fat 0 degrees this morning in Lancaster.

I hope this one's not called off, but the weather is heading for perfect snow weather.
Last few days have been 5, 3, 3, 2, 0 this morning. And fairly dry, not a cloud in sight.

If it's looking iffy - I wouldn't set off from Swindon - Anyone near the area keep us posted.

I was looking forward to seeing the boys again as well - I'll have to wait for Stockport now...

Calm down,it won't get called off. And even if it does it might not be such a bad thing the run of form they are in at the moment.

I think it will get called off, i'm 99% sure, the weather up here is bad and it's going to get alot worse, it's really cold, i'm certain it will be off, i'm not confident at all that it will be on but i dont fancy a tuesday night game as i wouldn't be able to go and we never seem to do well playing away on a tuesday night so i'd rather saturday goes ahead.
