Not much time to clear the pitch.A costly miss if it is.

There's been plenty of warning so I'd expect the covers to have been put on...
We're on our way

May get some more snow in place in the early hours tonight, but next 2 days don't look too bad.

The covers were on the third of the ground that thaws the slowest. However the covers do nothing against snow.

There is an expectation that this might be gone before Saturday.

I'd hope frost covers aren't on, mainly as its not, or forecast to frost.

Having them on for 2/3 days with a thick layer of snow on top would do far more damage than good.

The snow insulates the pitch whilst still letting light and water through (photosynthesis anyone??)

If the snow doesn't melt in tomorrows 4-6 degree temps, then get a call out on peak for pitch clearers on Saturday morning, match on.

I suspect if it doesnt clear quickly enough naturally then the pitch will be the least of the concerns....H&S will start sticking their nose in and it'll be off because of some snow on the pavements in Taptop or alike!

No more snow forecast after today before Saturdays game and sun and rain will clear the pitch of any that settles.
Match will be on so be there.

What, even if Morsy and Ryan are injured?. Would you prefer the cash or the points?.
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

Southend match, I remember it well. Dug the pitch out on the Friday morning, covers went on, we dug it out again on the Saturday morning...and we lost.
