Looking at the weather forecast and knowing how the drs shades the pitch, whats the likelihood of this game going ahead?

With frost it all depend what has happened two or three days prior. It wouldn't need a lot of covering of the pitch to ensure the game goes ahead.
We cant afford to get any further behind in the fixture list.

Annoying if it is. At least I should get to see the Charlton game if it is called off, they've got Undersoil heating.

Frost covers are good to -3 or -4 from memory. If we are using them that is. I think they were hired in for the snow game that never was last season.

It better not be, I am booked onto specific trains and spending a saturday in Swindon is not neccessarily my most favourite prospect to be honest! As the King was saying somewhere else, the condition of the Don Rogers stand might be a problem aswell, and the surrounding area. That's a pain, hopefully the game goes ahead on the day.

Of course, it wouldn't be the first time a game between us was off due to the weather. I wonder if we'll get as far into this one, as we did into that one....  Cheesy

There are only enough covers to do 3/4 of the pitch. If it gets into the ground on fri night we're in trouble. The side of the DRS will be covered though and taken off sat morning.
