[Waller is my hero]

Waking up & looking outside I?d say there is a 95% chance match will be off today, unless there?s a monumental effort to get it on

[Westbars Spireite]

I agree. Be amazed if the early inspection doesn't result in it being called off.

No chance of it being on

[Bluekent]

Ref probably won?t be able to get down to ground to inspect at this rate. Definitely off. Pitch will be fine underneath but too much snow to clear in a relatively short space of time.

[danblue]

Can't see it being on with the inspection so early. I guess they have to take the pitch and surroundings at face value there and then. - unless the ref is Michael Fish and has a crystal ball.

Even main roads aren?t great out and about. It?s not sleeting / raining but still don?t think it will be on as met office doesn?t have temp getting much above freezing

[azul]

It is drizzling where I am now and the weather map shows lightish rain from now on. Once the traffic gets on the roads they'll be clear.

I agree the ref is likely to make a decision on what he sees at the time as the whole point of this is to inform people whether to travel or not.

I can see people moaning by mid day about the postponement.

Agree on the final point. It could we?ll all be gone by lunch time if the weather is as predicted

Assuming it's off , that'll be Banks out of the vital Port Vale game, marvellous. And still no one (Joe public anyway) appears to know what he did, must be a secret.

These live radar weather maps are really reliable and it shows the precipitation type as rain. Probably not even worth trying to clear it as the snow will be thinning out before they get anything organised.

Violent Conduct. He admitted the offence whatever it was.

7.45 was ridiculously early, if done at 10/11.45 there could be a totally different outlook, what with 3/4 hours work and weather change. I don't think the travel arrangements of a few folk living 200ish miles away should be a consideration, we'll it isn't when they swap games for tv.

Not when you consider where the opposition are coming from...Gillingham isn't 5 minutes away.

I don't recall you taking that stance when we are the away side.

Like you say it isn?t for tv games but it should be and it?s good that here they seem to be thinking about the supporters. It could easily have been the other way round and a few folk travelling 200 miles south. Time there WAS more consideration of the supporters , especially by tv

Aye mate, sat in my living room in Wimbledon almost frothing at the mouth to get in the car and turn around by Bedford 🤣 of course travel arrangements for travelling fans should be considered; you?d be fuming if you?d set off to a game and it was called off mid journey

No one (alot) I've spoken too (at the game or on tv) actually saw it or saw anyone die, which is a miracle in this day and age considering we do boxing training.

Banks would be towing the line as were Weston and Grimes for their alleged offences against the soilyhull thespian X1. What I want to know is would the incriminating footage have been so readily available if it had been a Fleetwood player.
A cheats charter!!

[warfey is a spireite]

**** Gillingham about 5 seasons ago ,the weather was bad in Gillingham,I actually spoke to ground staff ,who said it was definitely on ,I got to stpancras ,and next train home fuc em

Absolutely agree, my point being they aren't if sky say they aren't.

However I feel on this occasion if the inspection was done later it would have a far better chance of being on
