Looking out at over the town this morning the game must be in severe doubt, especially if the predicted sharp frost arives tonight, if they do get it on everybody will deserve heartiest congratulations.

I can't see Marcus Cassidy even getting to the ground today. He's from Stonehouse area and that's not the best journey into swindon.

so whats the situation? someone who has my number give me a call as im getting the 13.07 train today from Brighton and if its off could someone tell me pleasssseeee.
According to RS because the snow will insulate the ground tonight, and won't let any of the earth warmth out into the air, the air temparature tonight will be around minus 10. I honestly cannot see the match being on tomorrow. I wouldn't come up fella if I were you, especially as the train's have been hit and miss over the last couple of days anyhow. |

Marcus is there... They're looking to remove the top layer of snow today so that it should be a simple case of removing the covers tomorrow... The sharp frost could still be the killer though |

Getting to the ground will be the killer!!! I'm sure they can prepare the pitch in a fit state to play, but that's not the point, unless there is a considerable change in road conditions there is no way many will attempt to go, I for one will certainly not try. |

And there will be plenty like you Dell, which is what the club needs to consider. Incidentally I wouldn't be one of these people as I could walk from my house, but that's not the point.

Positivity/negativity has nothing to do with it Dave.
Buses not running, rail severely disrupted, roads dodgy to say the least. The outlet village shut, shops in town centre closing. Why? Are the shops unable to open, of course they can, but it's irresponsible to encourage people to travel when they don't need to including travelling to watch a game of football.
And that's not even taking into account -7 to -10 degree temperatures overnight.

they should call it off now.the club will end up having to meet southends expenses if they leave it late. there is no way the game will be on due to the chaos out there.the council are relying on a grit delivery today from devon.they'll be lucky to get it.up to minus 10 tonight.surely common sense has to be used here?

I'm hoping it's on, although i'll have to walk from my house! No way im going to be able to get the car out, just seen 3 cars in a row get stuck in the road and give up in the end and roll down the hill! Might have to walk my sister to work in town tomorrow, so if i do i'll try and pop along and help out if still needed.
