S-Clarke Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 This will be a real nightmare for the authorities, it's not so much a case of the game starting, as that should be ok - but it's more the getting away from the ground at FT, when it will have dropped below freezing again and I'd guess all the exterior paths will have iced over from the earlier snow. Health and Safety guys these days would be very nervous in those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 We've just decided not to travel the 30miles south. Far too much snow already here and still falling heavily. Sky it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamesaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 We've just decided not to travel the 30miles south. Far too much snow already here and still falling heavily. Sky it is then. Interesting. I am 60 miles south of Brum and need to decide in the next 20 mins whether to go or not. No snow here yet but we will get what you are having.

I was umming and arring after my win at the bookies, but you've just decided it. Should be ok on the motorways, but living in the sticks they run out before home.

revolution saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 Don't see this being called off. If it was the surrounding area then they'd have done so already, likewise with the pitch. So it's just the amount of snow on the pitch and given that it's got undersoil heating and probably covered then that shouldn't be a problem either.

DrunkenSaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 It's not about if it can go ahead it's all about if it's safe for the fans to travel there and back which determines if games go ahead. Imo we would be better off calling it off, Chappers, Lee amd Sharp will all be settled down or fit for the rearranged game. They have also made it a Red Warning on the met and expect very heavy snow for the next 4+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 It's not about if it can go ahead it's all about if it's safe for the fans to travel there and back which determines if games go ahead. The window is rapidly shrinking for making that call because a lot of the travellers, home and away, are already travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 4 February, 2012 Share Posted 4 February, 2012 Surely needs a quick decision. No point calling if off once everyone has bothered to get to the ground. Want it to go ahead but might be better for the team to postpone and play when in better form, Jos and Chappers back and Lee and Sharp settled.

If the concern is the safety of fans travelling to and from the game, then they would have had to call it off early otherwise people would be making the trip anyway - just without football in between.
