Hopefully there'll be little need and the game will go ahead.

snows stopped coming down and started melting so cant see it being a problem unless we get more later or pitch is waterlogged. Cant see ground access being an issue.

Forecast is better for tomorrow, and temperatures are not predicted to go below freezing

So I think we should be OK

really do hope this is on... already booked my coach to Bradford!

This is the view on Duckworth Lane

If the temp doesn't drop tonight I think we will be good to go! Think it will be a wrap up warm game! I thought this was summer rugby?? 

I think pitch will be fine. I am more worried about the terraces. With 10000 members and 2/3k from wigan, closing one side like we did against cas las year will not be an option.

Well, given the weather, I'm not averse to them closing part of it down and for us all to be a bit closer.

why not? I'd say away end is approx same capacity as pop side. if weve still got 25k capacity then thats 5k in stand and 10k on away end. 15k capacity should be enough for tomorrow. but cant see any reason why they would close pop side anyway unless weather really deteriorates.

"elf and safety"

what you doing at Bradford Royal Infirmary Mick? Chatting up the nurses again?

unless it freezes cant see a problem tbh.

I hope your right I have been looking forward to the game since the end of last season. Fed up of boring sunday afternoons.

That's where I work RatedRKO



Although ward five is my current hunting ground.

If it freezes and that includes the snow/slush etc the game will 110% be called off on health and safety grounds.
IMO I should add.

The state of the terraces could be a problem. Snow on the pitch shouldnt be a big deal but I'll be surprised if it isnt waterlogged.

I don't know how bad the snow is in Castleford but the game against Huddersfield has just been confirmed as on by Sky Sports.

It's sounding like it'll be OK. Can't wait for it now!

hopefully the game will go ahead really looking forward to it

What a lovely photo Mick,

Duckworth Lane in snow

any news from your end lads?

Fully expect the game to go ahead as the snow is slowly thawing in this area. Its then down to who plays the heavy conditions the best. One thing for sure who ever plays halfback for us will need to come up with a good kicking game or where in trouble!

Weather forecast is ok overnight and tomorrow. If the pitch has been cleared, I would fully expect the rest of the ground to have been started on..... Too much riding on tomorrow with the "new start" to lose it due to health and safety.

Doom and gloom from Mick posting pictures that are not relevent to the current state! Same pictures posted on the Wigan forum - prob put a few off from travelling all ready!
