no chance, we have undersoil heating, the weather has been known to the club for about a week, no excuses really
Did I read somewhere recently that the Ricoh were boasting they've never had a game called off? If so I'd expect them do do everything possible to make sure it goes ahead
It's not just about the pitch though. It's about ensuring the safety of supporters getting to and from the ground and into it as well.
Can easily be called off in spite of undersoil heating.
Games have be called off before in such circumstances elsewhere.
You can borrow my daughter's hat, Hill.
It is a character hat though and you would have to look like a penguin. Any qualms?
Hope the pitch is in a better state than last Thursday. Doubt it will be though given the weather.
maybe not at the ricoh - but many were called off at HR - particularly after the undersoil heating there packed in
I think one was called off in the snow a couple of years ago. Stadium & pitch were fine but police called it off due to slippery conditions in the areas around the stadium.
So you think ACL will expend about £15K just to make sure that CCFC can play tonight? Dream on!
I assume you'll be back in here with your tail between your legs if the game is on?
Or even if it is called off due to anything else other than undersoil heating?
Or even if it is an issue with undersoil heating but not explicitly stated it's becase the ACL don't want to spend money turning it on?
Probably not.
I have no idea how much it costs to switch on and run the under soil heating but I do fear a row happening between ACL and CCFC as to who pays for it - up to now the club has paid the match day costs but would this be classified as an extra? If so who pays? Its a shame that we can even call into doubt a game not because of lack of facilities and equipment but because we cannot trust those involved to work together for the benefit of the supporters.
I doubt it will be called off because of this but its a shame relations have sunk so low as to it being a possibility

If the game goes ahead, which im sure it will, as we have underfloor heating and a fan base that will go thru any conditions to support their City, I think we can knick a cheeky win. I reckon 2-1 City, with a late winner from Callum Wilson
I think the game will be on. I have to be honest though I wouldn't be too disappointed if I could stay in the warm. 
So then I presume you know 100% that they aren't paying the costs?
Have you seen the cheques know all ?!
just out of interest,what games have previously been called off when the club has underground heating system and its a few degree's below outside with abit of ice.the roads are clear and the footpaths are walkable,but if you want to stay at home in the warm with a cup of cocoa and listen to the game,who am i to judge.

Once I'm wrapped up with me flask of Horlicks and goals flying into the Tranmere net then I'll be pleased I made the effort.
