What is being done in preparation to get the game to go ahead? Have your club put frost sheets on the pitch? What do you think the chances are of our game taking place?

Don't think temperatures will get below freezing tonight and it will be tropical 5 degrees tomorrow.

I suppose there will be a pitch inspection in the morning? Any idea when we will find out?

Early in the morning hopefully!

Well the sun is nice and bright at the mo so should warm the ground up and Sunday is supposed to be warmer.

And following on the desire from one poster that he would rather play on horse dung than a ipitch, there has been a thousand tonnes of horse dung spread on the pitch to get into practice.

What are you on about

I will explain. I did think that it would be understood in all of the civilised world and parts of Warrington. A poster said that he would rather play on a pitch covered in horse dung in preference to an i Pitch. Got it?

At least it would be nice and warm for a bit if i were fresh.

You are coming accross rather bitter and desperate now. Come on man, give it up!

Aye t'is true. If the game is called off, I shall play on horse dung. At least it's safer than an ipitch!

trunks and flip flops it is then

After last night I fear it will be off its not that warm today and it will freeze tonight maybe not as bad but wont get much above freezing in the morning
the Barnsley game was called off at 12.30 my bet is it will be off

I'm struggling to see how it can be on, temps dropping now.


Fingers crossed.

In all the years I have been watching RL pitches have always been the subject of discussion. One of the topics was missing ---- Is the first week of February to early to start the season? Would it not be better to start in March and go on a month later?

Did you not notice the smiley?

I'll be gutted if it's called off - I'm travelling a long way to get there tomorrow, so I won't really know before I set off

Really don't think it will be called off. Its 2 now and isn't going to drop below 1 tonight, so it shouldn't freeze and it will be warmer tomorrow.

The 'rolling eyes' smiley?
Yes.

My post still stands.

It'll be fine, if a bit squishy. Expect a good, old-fashioned game of winter rugby league, with no fancy stuff.

Give it a rest ! it was last week yer got yer s kicked in yer own back yard! Stop being bitter get over it

Yeah, they haven't quite got a grasp of when summer is have they? Granted you can have lousy weather in March but the later it starts the less likely you are to have postponements. I don't suppose it will change though.
The answer is undersoil heating. Expensive but years ago I remember that was all that kept the Loiners in the old first division. They were able to play their games when other clubs were frozen out.

If you've got something to say, say it, stop mincing your words!!!!

Wish we still had the King of the Wing playing for us

Old vikings certainly got his knicks in a twist or should I say - iknicks
