Well, they were at 4.30pm yesterday and then again at 5am this morning. Far be it from me to say the club haven't made too much effort to get the game on due to lack of players, but I am absolutely amazed that it has been called off... well I think that is fairly conclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real worry area of the pitch is the shadow of the main stand. That was covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Pitch will be fine Saturday so long as they cover it Thursday by which time it should have thawed but who knows if the great whatever it is still hasn't happened might just have a frozen patch Saturday as well.

Ritchierich Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They should have held an impromptu board meeting under the covers.....surely enough hot air would've been generated to thaw any offending frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The whole of the cricket ground out back of my house is well and truly still frozen. Have to cover it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, in both matches they never blew us away, in fact at home we should have won it. Away we had no goal scorer. Possibly could be resolved prior to Leicester.

Bristolatic Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Don't forget that Leicester have a FA Cup replay the night before the Checkacockup, so they may not pitch up with 45 million quids worth. Should give us a chance to get some revenge against Shrewsbury in the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
