Does anyone no if PNE have undersoil heating?

I live in Blackpool and its the coldest its been today and the ground here is frozen solid.

Snow is also forecast, keeping my fingers crossed looking forward to tomorrow

fernandopartridge · Jan 25, 2013

Snow is actually helpful as far as frozen pitches go - it insulates the grass I believe.

I'm about 40 miles away and it is very cold.

Donnie Brasco · Jan 25, 2013

It's not that bad in Cov. As I write the sun is shining and the snow is melting.

And as I write, the roads are as clear as a bell and have been for nearly a week. Not a flake of snow anywhere!

If they've any injuries expect it to be called off!

ccfc_87 · Jan 25, 2013

From Blackpool too and can't wait for further bragging rights, although recent history isn't on our side up here!!

I don't think they do have undersoil heating though.

pricey · Jan 25, 2013

There's loads of snow forecast for the rest of the day up here too. All depends how keen they are to play as to how "easily" it can be cleared!

SkyBlueRuffian · Jan 25, 2013

Heavy snow forecast in the North West this evening, so the game could be as doubtful as attending your brothers wedding!

Definitely doesn't have undersoil heating.

Wouldn't worry.

Steve.B50 · Jan 25, 2013

I cannot go (had knee op), so hope it's off.

Jackoskyblue · Jan 25, 2013

If it is cancelled what's the deal with ticket refunds ?

Hcut PUSB · Jan 25, 2013

Its been forecast all week to snow today turning to rain later, fingers crossed.

The ticket is usually valid for the rearranged game, not sure about refunds.

Gint11 · Jan 25, 2013

Doesnt matter about the weather anyway. Preston dont need a pitch. They dont play football, they play american football with their tactics. Hope Edge gets some revenge tomorrow!!!

LOL

Anyone know of a decent pub for Preston? I looked at the away grounds guide but the choices didn't seem that great.

Northern Sky Blue · Jan 25, 2013

I am not far from Preston now and the snow is coming down hard! Lets hope the weather forecast is right and we get some rain later!

EastLancsCov · Jan 25, 2013

Plenty of pubs in the town centre, half a dozen on Friargate and then about 15 mins walk to ground.

You won't want to go again its a dump. If your going in a car you could go to Riversway which is a dockside development, I would but I am an AB domographic sort of guy.

theferret · Jan 25, 2013

What's up with the two perfectly decent boozers just over the bridge 5 minutes walk from the ground? Never had any issues in either of those places.

Skyblue4u · Jan 25, 2013

If the rain that's just pushed up out of Cornwall turns to snow over the West Midlands nobody will be going to Preston, Like a bloody tropical monsoon!

Sub · Jan 25, 2013

well the snow is falling in stoke on trent and has been for a while there is about 3-4 inches of snow here and its still snowing heavily i will post what the weather is like here in the morning if that will help anybody on there way up to the preston game

ccfc_87 · Jan 25, 2013

Blackpool isn't great either, just a 15min drive from Deepdale. Lots of sleet which has now turned to reasonably heavy snow....not looking good!

theferret · Jan 25, 2013

Webcam image from earlier this evening at Deepdale. Looks like pitch is covered?

Sub · Jan 25, 2013

blizzard conditions here at the moment 5-6 inches of snow and still coming down

Spence CCFC · Jan 25, 2013

Covers are on the pitch, meant to be raining over night so...

...game on. People worry too much.

kg82 · Jan 25, 2013

I hope it's on. It seems the feelings of disdain we have for Westley are mutual from our PNE counterparts and Robins! They seem to think he's obsessed with PNE - I'm not sure they realise the fixture list kind of got us playing each other 3 times in 5 weeks... Might explain why he's talked about them a lot recently! Not the brightest. As for the sledging of their tactics... truth hurts!

fernandopartridge · Jan 25, 2013

it is still snowing in the North West. The pitch isn't the worry. Been snowing non stop for hours on top of the existing snow.

tippex9 · Jan 26, 2013

I just heard on Talksport news that the M6 is closed in both directions in Lancashire, junction 27 I think they said. Trucks and cars sideways on carriageway.

Sub · Jan 26, 2013

stopped snowing here now very cold tho and about a foot of snow on the ground roads heading north are terrible m6 still blocked so if your going to the game i would either leave very early and check you will get there with traffic reports or not even risk it seen as the m6 is still shut at the moment

Sub · Jan 26, 2013

motorways are now fully open just take care travelling up folks

theferret · Jan 26, 2013

Motorways open and no snow in Preston. Absolutely f-all to worry about.
