Hatch Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 How is St Marys for getting matches on? in other words, will Saturdays game be OK if we get bucket loads of snow.
trousers Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 How is St Marys for getting matches on? in other words, will Saturdays game be OK if we get bucket loads of snow. I guess the biggest factor will be weather (pun intended) Huddersfield can get to the ground rather than the ground itself....
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I guess the biggest factor will be weather (pun intended) Huddersfield can get to the ground rather than the ground itself.... If they can't make it, we should be awarded the match. Yeah.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I guess the biggest factor will be weather (pun intended) Huddersfield can get to the ground rather than the ground itself.... Think I read that they're thinking of leaving a day earlier just to make sure they get here okay.
sandwichsaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I presume they will cover the pitch in heavy sheets and then have 'the fans' and the 'yoof team' shovelling it off on Friday and Saturday morning, in traditional stylee? Unless anybody has got any better ideas, in which case they need to mail the groundstaff pronto. (also need to check where Hudders are staying and arrange a 2.00am fire alarm on Sat morning)
fanimal Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 As the pitch was covered after the game on Saturday to prevent it getting frosted/iced up. Snow can then be blown/swept off easily. The ducts are in for the undersoil heating, but Lord Ductunder did not buy the hot air machine - he thought he could just speak into it instead!!
Arizona Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 We could build a few more defenders, maybe even have a couple on the posts when defending corners. Remember last year's 'Snow Skacel'?
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 If they can't make it' date=' we should be awarded the match. Yeah.[/quote'] Isn't that how it used to be anyway?

Greenridge Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 More often than not it's the conditions of the streets and pavements around the various grounds that causes games to get called off rather than the playing surface itself.
Huntingdon Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Does anyone remember Saints v Sheff Utd from December 2005? I have never been so cold at a football match in my life
benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 More often than not it's the conditions of the streets and pavements around the various grounds that causes games to get called off rather than the playing surface itself. Was about to post the same thing. Apparently the pitch is fine for tonight's cup semi but it's too dengerous for people to converge on the ground. Tomorrow's match at Man City is also off and given how new and shiny and lovely their ground is I imagine it's nothing to do with the pitch.
benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Does anyone remember Saints v Sheff Utd from December 2005? I have never been so cold at a football match in my life Reading away in the cup under Souness. Absolutely bitter and stood on an open concrete bank. Brrrr.

On the same basis, why don't the Police order the closure of Town centres/Shopping centres.
benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 On the same basis, why don't the Police order the closure of Town centres/Shopping centres. I don't know. Pressure from KFC?
Didcot Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 He was quicker than wotton Excellent! Surely that was a MLT snowman!
trousers Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 On the same basis, why don't the Police order the closure of Town centres/Shopping centres. Shopping centres are open for much longer and thus people are arriving/departing on a staggered basis rather than a concentrated arrival/departure pattern for sporting events? Or, my preferred answer: f*** knows
Charlie2008 Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I don't know. Pressure from KFC? Lol...stop it, my sides are splitting...
70's Mike Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 SMS will be ok but PC rules will kick in if there is snow/ice on surrounding streets
ericofarabia Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Leigh has had about 8 - 10 inches today .... not bad for the met offices forecast of snow and sleet showers :cool: Not sure if I'll be able to get my hire car off our cul de sac tomorrow as the 1st stage of getting back to a hopefully warmer and sunnier Dubai

brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Lucky old Leigh' date=' give me her address and I'll give her another 8 - 10 inches..[/quote'] LoL
benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Can you confirm the brand of hire car please and possibly from whom it is hired? We're all on tenterhooks.
saintquin Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 http://www.andoversound.com/pages/extranet/your-snow-photos-i-4502.php Good pic about 1/3 the way down.

sapphireblue Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 I guess the biggest factor will be weather (pun intended) Huddersfield can get to the ground rather than the ground itself.... Greetings Saints fans. We shall be coming down now, weather (pun returned) the game goes ahead or not. Train tickets bought, accommodation booked etc. See you in the Guide Dog!
John Boy Saint Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Does anyone remember Saints v Sheff Utd from December 2005? I have never been so cold at a football match in my life That was a bitter night, you could see the frost getting whiter on the pitch as the game went on. I remember getting Bangers and Mash from that Mash of the Day place, the mash sat in my stomach for most of the game like a breeze block that had spent the afternoon in the oven which was a bonus.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 More often than not it's the conditions of the streets and pavements around the various grounds that causes games to get called off rather than the playing surface itself. Global warming innit.
ericofarabia Posted 7 January, 2010 Posted 7 January, 2010 Does anyone remember Saints v Sheff Utd from December 2005? I have never been so cold at a football match in my life Mid week Cup Match at Plough Lane Wimbledon 79 ish .... people were lighting fires on the terraces ..... honest .
ericofarabia Posted 7 January, 2010 Posted 7 January, 2010 Can you confirm the brand of hire car please and possibly from whom it is hired? We're all on tenterhooks. A pink Robin Reliant, but I'm not letting on where I hired it from as you'd be down there in a flash to buy it. :cool:
saint-luco Posted 7 January, 2010 Posted 7 January, 2010 Mid week Cup Match at Plough Lane Wimbledon 79 ish .... people were lighting fires on the terraces ..... honest . thats right, rearranged 3 round tie, moved near a fire to keep warm, it was brass monkeys that night
