Much snow over there? We have had a fair dumping of it overnight in the North West. Dog is not keen on her walk!

Nothing at all, it’s much milder too. I went out at 10 last night and it was -3, woke up this morning thinking it would be awful no frost or anything and a relatively balmy 1 degrees

Drove to Leeds this morning and it’s much quieter so guess a lot of folk are staying at home

I would assume conective tissue injuries would be more prevalent on soft pitches but impact ones on frozen hard pitches

Good stuff- indeed.
The pitches won’t be frozen though.

Just started to snow (gently).

Little bit fluttering around in the air as i biked in this morning which was chilly but fine. Met Office reckon 50% chance of snow now but nothing else and actually now saying it will be a toasty 2c not 1c at kick off as they were saying yesterday.

That's it then, I'm putting the thermals back in my drawer 😂.

Excellent. Match should be ok then. 2-3 inches of snow over here but temps peaking at 5 degrees so should be mostly gone by tea time. Dog ended up having a great time.

Potentially lowest crowd of the season tonight, tickets goin very slow. Club could do with announcing the game is definitely on (if it is that is)

Where’s ‘here’

[clarevoyant.]

Tonights national league games failing pitch inspections, 4 off, only York and ourselves remain.

Their weather forecast suggests <10%, although the snow map is getting very close Chesterfield. BBC still shows clear skies and 0%.

While I was waiting to pick the wife up from work from Holmewood at 9 am, I think I could have counted the flakes of snow coming down, it was that fine. Hopefully,the snow will keep away, the pitch is fine, and at full-time we're, all grinning after another great performance, and another 3 points.

The Alty team coach and fans will probably be more worried about getting back home over the tops later tonight. They will definitely have one eye on the weather as the night progresses. Lets hope it stays off and they have a safe journey both here and back.

They posted a match preview on social media a couple of hours ago also advising the game is not included in half season tickets...suggest things are ok and to be honest i dont think there have been any issues to worry about really.

As it stands we are the only NL game tonight

Yep not even a muttering of a pitch inspection there and suddenly it's off, I have faith in the gofundme covers ours will still be on though

[DIFH]

All games off except ours. Snow on Merseyside but it looks as though Altrincham are travelling - stewards on entrance to car park at town.

Gritting in Sheffield as we speak.

A win tonight and that league table would look even more impressive.
