We’re in hospitality for this as we have a couple of birthdays coming up so hoping it goes ahead
I see the club have a form of covers on the pitch in preperation for this, hopefully its enough to resist the frost, especially on the Shrivvy Road side. |

Batch's cheapo Chinese weather station watch: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/gb/swindon/ISWIND76Last night -6.6 measured (2 am, above freezing 5am) Current temp 1.6 If it was really -6 that's going to be proper touch and go. Hope Power didn't get the covers on the cheap (soapy tit wank) or we have better ones. edit: proper Lyneham obs was only -4 ( https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/observations/gcnsfxv5m) |

I know it's a bit further north but Crewe's game with Orient has already fallen foul to the cold snap. Accrington v Pompey is off in league one.
I read somewhere that all EFL clubs must have and use frost covers, I'm sure there is a limit they work too. I have a sneaky feeling our game will be off.

If this goes ahead all signs point to a nil nil draw

yeah just saw that, seems my sneaky suspicion may well be inaccurate. |

Unbelievable- not sure what game he watched. That performance was unacceptable, Sherdanesque in fact. |
