They aren't travelling till the morning which is interesting but probably to save money

They seem pretty confident the game will be on!

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The groundsman is staying overnight-commitment!

 

[ccfcway]

they are prob concerned that it wont be the pitch that results in a postponment, it will be the surrounding areas

 

[Johnnythespider]

Excuse me, but does that say undersoil seating :facepalm:

 

[ccfcway]

"Ricoh Arena pitch fine"

I was concerend that ACL had finally decided on their next move

 

[Swanny80]

Excuse me, but does that say undersoil seating :facepalm:

Good spot

At least it will be warmer sitting under there!

 

[sw88]

Excuse me, but does that say undersoil seating :facepalm:

Well if they had that, they better have a good excuse why it wasnt used on Tuesday!!!!

 

[Otis]

6 League One games off tomorrow so far.

 

[oldskyblue58]

Not been a game cancelled at the Ricoh in 8 years I believe.

My daughter came back on coach from Manchester today ...... only took 20 minutes longer than normal ..... so they should have no problems getting here. Main roads round stadium should be fine ..... it is car parks and walk ways that are the problem

Agreed, its the surrounding areas thats the problem, not the pitch

 

[rupert_bear]

Why would the game be off ? Pitch should be fine with the underseal heating, as for car parks and walkways they don't shut Tesco when it snows do they !!

 

[sky blue zam]

maybe they should grit the paths within the parking permit zone

 

[oakey]

Started snowing again where I live, 30 miles west of the Ricoh.
8585 at Leicester tonight. Clubs need to consider whether their fans are willing to venture out in such conditions. It is not just about CAN we get the game on, but SHOULD we, when the fans will stay away? Commercial reasons says postpone and reschedule, like shops close early when there are no customers.
If I can dig my car out and make it off our hilly, curvy estate will be there...but I ain't risking life, limb and no claims bonus!

 

[Baginton]

Im half a mile from the ricoh, not snowing at the moment, main roads are ok... if it dosent snow too much we should be ok :claping hands:

 

[ricohman]

As someone mentioned in another post, best if the game goes on an get us info top 6 while the other games are off

Well as long as we win by 2 clear goals and match mk dons goal diff and bournemouth dont win. We have the head to head against them if thats what it comes down to

06. milton keynes...43 (+12) postponed
--------------------------------------
07.bournemouth.....43 (+10) away v wallsall
08.yeovil................42 (+05) postponed
09.crawley.............41 (-03) postponed
10.coventry............40 (+10) home v oldham
11.crewe...............40 (+00) postponed
12.stevenage.........40 (-02) postponed
13.wallsall.............38 (-05) home v bournemouth

two home wins would be good, if they go ahead, we have to win by 2 clear goals to go into the playoffs... PUSB.

Wouldn't go amiss to give a bit of grit to the players today.
