    Game looks a non starter on Saturday as they have already cancelled the 4th round Fa youth cup vs Birmingham.

    With a nasty weather front moving into the South West snow,chances of the pitch condition improving enough for a league match is doubtful.

    Any of you hold out hope that the game will be on?

    It's not looking likely but the snow is supposed to move on
    from later tomorrow and I reckon the club will do all it can
    to get it on.

    pitch condition will be fine. covers are on. terraces and car park will be fine as got enough grit to cover that. weather report tonight said that snow should be over by 1pm tomorrow and as the day goes on rain will follow. i doubt that there will be snow around by saturday morning. just an opinion going by the weather report <ok>

    Its looking as if the snow will stick around to long for the match to go ahead also the roads by the stadium wil be a nightmare to park in.

    Not looking positive stil perhaps it will thaw out Capt.

    reports yesterday were saying should be over by 1pm and expecting rain after so should be clear. ice was going to be the worry but then the grit on site should cover that. just the surrounding areas. however todays has been much worse than what they said yesterday and more snow on the way. oh well, gives JW more time to get players in without using games up <ok>
