BP1960 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 What if the pitch is fine, will heavy snow be a reason to call it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler13 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just been told by the club not to travel until after pitch inspection at 11.30am. Not looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Arctic like in Greenfield. And that's without the snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbaltipie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 No way it will be on, its forecast more snow so they should just call it off now and save everyone the uncertainty. John Kettley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The bastards snow started leathering it down when the covers were half off. The pitch wasn't frozen though. Not sure it's a day for the French Lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Ironically remember being in Northampton the morning of a game it was called off down there a few years ago, due to snow.
