I don't want it called off. Let's get it played and move on.

Get the covers on over night

I'm guessing covers have already been on this week and that's what is underneath when taken off to check.
I'm guessing nearer you get to South/west corner the more solid it gets.

Not sure that video is legitimately from today. Could easily be from last winter when we had a couple postponed early/mid Dec 2022 v Halifax and Boredom Wood in the trophy.

I don't think that they have been on. We had a snow flurry earlier and that's what is on view on the clip.

I'd not give up your day job Paulie, Currently grass in the surrounding area has give and will take a stud quite easily. The only possible danger point would be the South Stand goal, but even that won't be frozen at the moment, and I'm sure the ground staff will be on the case. Temperatures start to rise from 1°c at 11am tomorrow so very similar to today. Game on I reckon. And if this sage opinion is total bollocks then I would fully expect a thonging from you after the event.

..........I'm starting to think a thonging may be coming my way

 

[Maldon Blues]

The covers have been on.

I will say with some certainty that clip isn't from today. Doesn't look like today's weather for a start!

 

[BEERMONSTER]

I was hoping someone would recognise the video and be able to say it's an old one!

Yes, interesting

Surely there is no way the ground at Roots hall is that hard. That fork was like hitting concrete or after several days of freezing weather.

 

[BEERMONSTER]

Just checked my recording of the Chesterfield game, those advertising boards on top of the North don't look like the solo press one's to me.

 

[Holy Joe]

CP has confirmed video is today

That’s that then …. No way that’s on

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Good, get the deal done and play this in March when we are out of Umbongo!

 

[Tommy2holes]

Hopefully it won't be called off.

Can understand the logic but I'd rather have an afternoon in the pub and footy than on a Tuesday night.

Just pretend it’s on and we won 3-0! Will anyone check?

The various weather forecasters reckon the temperature is -1°c until 9am. My garden weather centre is showing the temp at 0.8°c at the moment, a bit warmer than the forecast, Roll on 10am, then we will know our afternoon fate.

Need to have an idea before then. The M3 is lovely of course but I'd prefer not to just drive up and down it without something to see at the other end

 

[Petejames]

I must admit no frost about this morning cars were clear of frost…. But it is still freezing cold

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

No frost in Rochford. misty though and cold.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Ok folks, made decision not to gamble and travel up, so it's now 100% certain the game will be played. Enjoy.
