Help to clear snow off frost covers

[Langers]

Weather it is on or not, I doubt I will risk driving down, so selfishly I hope it is off.

I'll raise you your 'bit of snow'.  

Impressive. What happens when they meet an equally intrepid motorist travelling in the opposite direction? Leave it until the last possible moment?

It will be on....

Nev, they are Eastern Block, they hold or know no fear

The rest of the world are just plain pussy's

When I were a lad and all that

It's not whether we can physically play on the pitch (as I have faith that our excellent groundstaff, as well as Paolo working like a fucking snowblower, will sort that out), it's whether the conditions are decent, and safe enough, for nearly everyone to get to the game who'd be coming normally. There's no point holding the match if 4 Shrewsbury supporters turn up and we only get 3-4k attendance. It's just not worth the risk/fee.

People (Coca) can moan all they like about "Oh in other countries it would be different, oh if this were 30 years ago we'd still be playing and all the supporters would only be wearing string vests 'cos we were well 'ard back then." We don't deal with snowfall well enough for a Northern Hemisphere country, this is true, but comparing us to somewhere in Eastern Europe where 10ft in winter is the norm is ridiculous because we rarely see 1-2ft of snow every year as it is.

The reality is that putting on the match is not simply a matter of the club's priority of a clear, defrosted pitch, but the myriad transport links and safety considerations that go along with it and that are out of the clubs control. I want it to be on tomorrow, but I am aware it probably will not be- and even if it is, my train probably won't be running. I'm not going to fucking moan on about it because it's fucking snowing and I'll just go make snowmen in the park with my girlfriend instead.

A bristolian man puts it very eloquently (I know, I'm surprised too) at the end of this very informative video from Charlie Brooker:

Yugoslavia was not part of the Eastern Bloc, look up the Tito-Stalin split.

Correct Fred (although according to CF's last minute essay not entirely).  Perhaps you should replace 'Eastern Block' by 'cheap leather jacket wearing folk'?

Clever, or plain half witted?

My bad

Thanks Comrade

Oh how we yearn for the old Motherland (I think a few of us could make some suggestions on appropriate actions)

I'd rather stick a biro down my jap's eye

You do that anyway Fred, we don't want to hear about your bizarre fetishes.

[Simon Pieman]

Fixed for you

Thanks Fred!

Everything out here grounds to a halt when it rains. Traffic doesn't move. You'd think it was acid the way they react.
