JohnG123 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Can’t see this being on with temperatures dropping to -4 on Friday night. Still finger crossed. I assume the covers will have been on most of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millibob Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I am sat in the Republic of Royton looking out of my window at my frozen lawn. I haven't had my frost covers on but judging by the Polar Bears and Penguins walking about and the fact the dog won't go out to do his sniffing around and it's still -2 (it was -5 last night) I can't see it being on. Please note I have been wrong before. (PaddyPower will confirm this!). Best wishes - Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Blue Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Has there been a mention about a pitch inspection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 If this game does go ahead, I expect a reaction from the players after the horror show last week. They have had a full week to recover and more importantly to work with MM to find a way to win at home. No new faces so I expect a very similar starting eleven to last week. The only real question I have is over Freeman - the rest get another go to put it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is it's not getting much warmer during the day. Hope I'm wrong but would think it's doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Also depends on the conditions around the stadium. Th area between RRE & JR Stand will be absolutely deadly unless well gritted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New frost covers and 1 million pound spent on a new pitch, half of which is artificial. Would be disappointing if they couldn't get it on...

It’s a 4 hour trek from Boreham Wood so I should imagine any planned pitch inspection would be 9.30am latest. The covers will probably have done the job so I don’t think starting the game will be a problem however finishing it might well be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be alright during the game, a sweltering 0° temperature is predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 They have had all week testing the covers. I expect the covers have proven themselves by now. Zero or a -1 or 2 won’t do much damage during the afternoon. They have probably given Borehamwood the heads up unless something dramatic occurs. I don’t understand why they haven’t mentioned any guidance at all though, publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogdenwoodwhittle Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Depends if any snow is forecast, certainly is on my app from 3 pm tomorrow! More of a problem if its actually sticking on the pitch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 These are the most direct side I've seen in many years - Kevin Blackwell's horrible Luton side of 07 the closest I can think of. We should have more than enough to see them off and I expect Raglan and Hobson to win the battles against Ndlovu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
