Noticed the frost on the pitch today. I presume the pitch will be covered Friday night. First time in a long time with the mild winters we have had in recent years.

Stockport covered theirs for their match tonight.Ran the line for the last time ever there v Brum.0-0 ensured the point they both needed to get promoted.
Ground certainly improved since I was last there.Currently 2-1 up v Charlton after going 1 down.

I think we can rest assured that our head groundsman who is responsible for our fine playing surface can be trusted to do what is necessary to ensure our pitch is in fine condition for this weekends game.

There is a photo from the groundsman on twitter showing the double sheeting of the pitch.

Even worse, the apprentice groundsman left the sprinklers on by accident the other day, whole pitch flooded and then froze over. I’ll be amazed if we’ve got a game this weekend.

Covers only deal with a certain level of freezing weather, can't remember what's been quoted in th epast, but tonight we're going down to -4, Fri will bearly rise to 2, then we are freezing again from late pm.
What chance Sat?
Wouldn't surprise me if this gets called along with a number of matches

Volunteered to help a couple of times to remove the covers on a Sat morning. The problem area is usually in front of the West Stand and refs won't tolerate an inconsistent surface, so a partially thawed surface will get called off. Got a bacon sarnie and a coffee for volunteering tho! |

BBC says the forecast is quite sunny Saturday with temperatures above zero from 9am and likely to be +4 degrees by kick off. I’d be very surprised if it gets called off despite so many on here seemingly egging on a postponement!!

I think we're all secretly hoping it's called off so we can go to our warm local pubs, have a few beers and then go home to watch the England game and tuck into the chocolates that were meant for Christmas Day. |

Definitely not, there’s only one match for me and it kicks off at Three. Looking forward to a quiet train home. |

Was minus 3 here in Street (Somerset)this morning but with the sun out it was plus 4 by 1pm and the ground/grass was perfect' especially for playing football.
