How considerate - I'm booked on the 8:40 off Euston.

Well it's mild and wet in Manchester today so unless there's a massive temp drop overnight I reckon it'll be on. Just checked metcheck and not due to drop below 2 degrees overnight.

Cheers Tj. Yeah does sound very hopeful. Which begs the question of why they're not having it today and are waiting for the morning. In fact - why are they having it at all?!

Frost takes a while to exit the ground...Its not been that cold for that long though so should be fine.

Well it has been bloody cold over the last week but you'd have thought they'd have the frost covers etc on.

Yeah i know Batch but the article says they've had covers on and its a bit frozen underneath now they've taken them off. Surely it can't be that bad and would be playable this afternoon if necessary, let alone tomorrow afternoon.

Thats putting it mildly... looking out of our office windows in the city centre its almost bloody dark at the moment!

I would have thought that the the warmer weather and rain of today/tomorrow would have meant it would definatley be on.

Planning on leaving before 9.30 so will have to take a chance...

 Waterlogged pitch?  Rain onto frozen ground has nowhere to go...

 On a separate note, channel hopped onto some egg chasing from Adams Park, Wycombe last night, and was surprised to see a lovely playing surface as they have undersoil heating...quite impressive for an essentially non league club, something I've always wanted to see at the CG.
