Actually it’s more rain again now. Very wet too, so even if it snows it might take a while to settle...

either way the pitch is going to be horrendous.

 

[Mcbean]

Could be off due to waterlogged pitch - it very wet Wednesday and it’s been raining most of the night - ideal for a kasta event

 

[jordan210]

Hopefully the pitch drainage works and under soil heating has been on.

but will effect our passing game. Then again we wonon Tranmeres potato patch

We won sometimes on the dunes where the knuckle draggers stole our ground

Yeah, the forecast I’m looking at says heavy snow starting about now and lasting all morning as well - although at the moment it doesn’t look at all snowy so who knows. Definitely wet.

BBC Weather showing snowflakes - no coincidence

Only rain I would think

Square passes among the defence...........gulp. If it goes ahead, I would definitely play 2 up front, as defenders are more likely to make mistakes, and keep the tippy tappy down to a minimum. Good day for O'Hare closing down defenders, but can you imagine the state of his kit at full time

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Birmingham are 2/1 to win on bet365. That's crazy.

Nice little Hedge if the game goes ahead

Which means we have to go with 2 up top...have to start Max and Gykores. Wilson has to go downtown.

Tricky little players like Ohare may have a field day picking up the pieces.

Absolute lottery today. Shit pitch shit conditions. Shame cos I’d fancy us otherwise

Might be down to the fact that they've lost 6 on the trot at home, and we've lost only once in 35 games at The Trillion (when keeping 11 on the pitch - (Blackburn, Bournemouth being those blips)

Agree - just hope we don't get one of those refs who 'makes allowances' for thuggery, due to the pitch conditions - letting the likes of Friend & co to kick lumps out of Callum O'Hare etc,
Good day for winning / not conceding free kicks on the edge of the box

 

[procdoc]

Some of their fans on their forum giving it the big i am to. Talking as if they were a club the size of Liverpool and beat little old Coventry

We have always been and always will be a bigger club than Bournemouth

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We have always been and always will be a bigger club than Bournemouth

If they don't get promoted this season or next, they are likely to 'shrink' in terms of status quite markedly.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Theo fork at St Andrews is shocking whereas ours is really good. Hopefully that carries on.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

This game will be called off I reckon. Snowing like fuck here in Brum

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Nice little Hedge if the game goes ahead

I'm keeping the faith and chose to back us.

Cue an even bigger meltdown come 5pm.

 

[Nick]

This game will be called off I reckon. Snowing like fuck here in Brum

Why called off though?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Why called off though?

Depends what condition the grounds in at St Andrews. On the roads it’s not sticking here, but on the grass it is.

 

[PVA]

Why is the pitch so bad I wonder?

It was great last year, and we had shit loads of rain last year too.

Is it just because more games are being crammed into a shorter season?

hopefully brum have paid the electric bill for the underground heating

 

[steve cooper]

Birmingham are 2/1 to win on bet365. That's crazy.

Of the 4 games played on Wednesday, Dave Prutton of Sky only got 1 right, forecasting away win for Sheff W. and home wins for Middlesboro and Swansea.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Did my usual of putting £10 on a Birmingham win or draw. This isn't me being pessimistic, its just me trying to give myself a good feeling if we lose haha I think we will win 2-0 myself.

 

[Mcbean]

Cant be called off on crowd safety concerns

 

[steve cooper]

Milkman paying a sneaky visit? Make sure he wears a mask........

I remember the days when protection meant a condom, now it's a mask. How times change

 

[Magwitch]

I usually hate last ditch postponed games but wouldn’t lose sleep if this was off pushes a crucial fixture back two or three weeks giving a bit more time for some of our walking wounded to get fit.

 

[Macca]

Welcome a postponement

 

[Liquid Gold]

Normally snow on the day isn’t an issue only if it’s been sitting for a day or so and has frozen the pitch. If they had any forethought and out the heating on it’ll go ahead.

 

[robbiethemole]

Just watching Big Match Revisited and Arsenal pitch is a feckin quagmire like lots of others in 1975. Which others were bad? I remember Filbert St and Derby were like beaches

 

[standupforcity]

Now's the time to play them the form they're in!

 

[Magwitch]

Villa was awful at times too contributed to Graham Oakeys career ending injury.

 

[cov donkey kick]

Have they got a new striker in there squad today?
