What are the chances that game will be called off?
I'm coming up to Hull this afty for a few days but timings would be a non starter if postponed until say Sunday (no idea what city are doing). Given the H&S of surrounding area has in the past been an issue I'd like a heads up, I'm sure others travelling from outside the city would too.

I can tell you that the roads in West Yorks (Wakefield area) are quite unsafe at the moment.

As the temperature is not due to get above zero degrees until Saturday I would say its doubtful that the game will go ahead.

Difficult for the club as I assume they are encouraged to do everything they can to hold the event as planned, but given that the opposition are coming from the opposite end of the M62, I would hope that common sense will prevail in this.

Need to think about the safety of players as well, wouldn't want to play it if the pitch is a bit frozen and hard because it could really hurt if you get tackled hard on that.

They have undersoil heating so pitch will be fine its the surrounding areas which will be the problem

City played there Tuesday night and the weather was similar to what we can expect. Then again who would be shocked if the SMC called it off at the last minute to create maximum inconvenience?

Tuesday wasn’t as bad . Yesterday and today have been worse .
Are Catalan travelling over ?

KR v Cas has been postponed

Wakefield moved to Sunday, FC V Wire on sky now

Warrington need to be travelling at lunchtime there's no reason not to. I'd be extremely annoyed if SMC don't get their harris's into gear early doors and make the area safe, surely that is what we pay for?
My train is cancelled but the hour late train to Leeds is here soon, hopefully not too long a wait at Donny as it's bloody freezing there!

one of the reasons tonights game was called of was player welfare? surely its the same tomorrow as the weather forecast is just as bad,

I can see men in white coats with an extra strong strait-jacket being required for somebody if our games gets blown out tomorrow.

This has been the problem in the past. City are away at Ipswich so no chance of a clash but with the game now on Sky they will make extra effort to get in on.

I think your right. SKY will want a game to show. Remember our infamous game in the fog at Saints!

The KCom pitch has under soil heating which has been on all week so there shouldn't be a problem as far as that is concerned but the concern is whether Warrington will be able to make the trip over the Pennines.

The current forecast (for hull) is no more snow, but no real thaw either.

So it looks like nothing much will change in the next 36 hours.

Big difference between the pitches though as KCOM has under soil heating so the pitch shouldn't be frozen and would think the pitch at caravan park will almost certainly be frozen in places hence concern for player welfare.

Though if the temps are not any higher tomorrow night it certainly could be classed as not putting player welfare first.

I can understand every effort being made to get the game on - not that long since we had that random mid week game and it definitely creates as disadvantage. That said if we lose, as looks a strong possibility with several players out, we'll say it should have been called off.

The pitch might be playable and the walkways safe, but as I get older watching rugby in arctic conditions becomes less and less appealing!
Let's play them midweek in Summer with Danny Houghton back!

Same. Getting fed up of shivering all the way through a match at Kcom.

As things stand the M62 is closed and other travel is seriously affected.

Consideration must surely go to how Warrington and their fans can get here safely and also get home tomorrow night after the game?

As long as the team can get across I doubt whether the powers that be will give a monkey's about travelling supporters.

No doubt the consideration for fans attending the game come way down the list compared to Sky having a live game to show.
I know the club will have corporates booked in, etc, but it's going to be a pretty miserable night if it's as cold as it is at the moment.

Currently forecast to be dry but feeling like minus six degrees with gusts of around 30mph.

Not going to be a classic game, lets face it.

The forecast is pretty similar to Leeds who have already postponed their game and who also have undersoil heating. Leeds will get an advantage ahead of next week game with a week to prepare and recover from injuries.

People stranded in their cars on the M62 near Saddleworth overnight - surely its not safe for Warrington fans and team to travel?
