Seen Walsall are using one at the moment and expect there game to be on.

Provided by Sky. Apparently this is what we used prior to our game with you.

Oddly the past two days Vale Park has been glowing Bright Red from inside in night time... not sure what contraption is causing it, be it a heater or maybe just one of those machines that help the grass.

here's your bright red glow culprit. Seems to be focused on a small area only.

Inevitable ours would be off really. Right decision call it early today save any wasted journeys for Barrow. Should look to slot it in for the Tuesday after the Newport game as think both clubs are free then.

We don't usually re-arrange that quickly but would make sense... think it will be the 18th Feb (which is the night I go away sadly for me) as we have Colchester 29th, Wrexham the midweek after and the mid week after that we have the Notts game moved to the Thursday... so the 18th would be the ideal Tuesday with a 5 day gap from the previous weekend game.

Apparently you've got some sort of big fuck off heated tent/cover.

Crewe have been told the game will be on, and they are travelling today.

I'm not sure about that re the tent. I also can't see our regime paying money out to hire something over and above the covers that we already have. Having said that I have just been out (live 2 miles from the ground) and whereas the paths and roads around here were icy yesterday they aren't today. I reckon it will be on

No points dropped this week!

You're right. I've done a bit more research. You've got covers and some lamps.

Grimsby/Notts likely to be a decent watch tomorrow lunch time?

What's your alternative?

Unlikely to be a 0-0 and hopefully a chance to see a big Gambian in tights, gloves and a snood.

Rotherham/Bolton, Liverpool/Accrington, Walsall/Tranmere.

Yes.

Goalmouths are frozen solid. No pitch inspection planned until tomorrow as many seem to think it won’t be quite as cold between now and kickoff. Personally, I can’t believe it will be sufficient to defrost the troublesome areas.

Rotherham/Bolton, Liverpool/Accrington, Walsall/Tranmere.

What's the weather like where you are? A nice walk?

Out of those we are probably the most intriguing game, unless you want the higher quality of Rotherham Vs Bolton.

If they call this off while we’re half way there my head is going to fall off. It’s about minus one million degrees out there, if it’s frozen today it isn’t going to thaw.

 

[Pie and chips]

You guys seem to think it will go ahead

Not in Cleethorpes it isn’t

Fair. It’s Sky’s fault as well, wouldn’t be an issue if it was 3pm. The trains are absolutely horrible with a weird massive gap before one that arrives just after 12:30 so loads are having to set off at about 7am and will be in Clee by not long after nine. It’s got a 10am postponement all over it.

The weather in Grimsby is always particularly cruel to football fans. It’s never quite cold enough to freeze the pitch and let you have an afternoon off, but it has a habit of having a wind chill at -5 just in time for kick off.

If the club says it’s on, it likely is, bring your big coat.

I love to get sat down in the lower at 2.50pm and think to myself that it's not so bad and that it's just a bit cold, only for driving rain and gale force winds to start attacking the entire stand for 45 minutes at 3pm.

-3 in Cleethorpes tonight. I’m still scarred from Bradford away being called off when we were walking to the ground last season, to absolutely no one’s surprise.

Even though tomorrow’s my shortest football trip of the season I’ll be mightily fewmin if it happens again.

Yeah hopefully they have the sense to call it early. Happened to us not long back at Colchester too, my train was pulling in when they called it. It's frustrating so apologies in advance if that happens to you tomorrow.

Seems to be a few varying opinions on weather. Accuweather and the Met Office saying -3 and -2. Google and BBC a bit more forgiving and going with 0 and +1s. The weather game has gone a bit in the last few years in my opinion. I feel like they used to never get it wrong but it often is these days.

I have just been out in the Lincolnshire wilds , pretty icey and 0 but have seen it far worse with snow , colder and no postponement come Saturday - i suspect it will go ahead but anyone going should get wrapped up as it will be very cold with the sea air at 12 . I will be armed with something hot and alcoholic in my flask.

Maybe supplementing your income by growing another type of grass ???
