RadioactiveWaste Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 It's always a hard call - call it off early enough to save everyone the trip, but risk it becoming playable but KO time or wait and try to get it on, but then end up calling off at the last moment and everyone is raging about it. Ultimatly, the decision has to be based on if a Neil Warnock team is involved and if you have a keep player out. jimtastic56, EssendonRam and Bob The Badger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps haven’t been real deep freeze. I can feel some give and softening mud in our garden by mid afternoon. I wonder what the test is ? If studs can pierce to surface in normal running ?

Anag Ram Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 It’s that time of year. Just get a few pigs in blankets on the pitch. Sorted! jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test will be under H&S, Whoever is sent to inspect(if needed)will determine if the pitch is playable(all pitches are playable)and the safety of the players will take precedent, If one half of the pitch has thawed but the other half is frozen ie stands blocking the sunshine I expect a postponement jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Mucho crispy the last three days. It'll be off. Stay under the duvet and enjoy the thought of not having to go to Burton. B4ev6is and DarkFruitsRam7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accrington have today postponed their game with Portsmouth, their owner saying it'll cost them massively due to the rescheduled game being on a weekday. This isn't about the supporters, it's the players safety playing on a frozen pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
