Nothing wrong with that. Old days consider a good pitch. Jumpers for goalposts etc

They'll sweep that off in 20 mins.

Yeah, get the orange ball out.

If we were playing Hull I would say text and email all ticket purchasers if it is off, and then officially announce it at 2.45pm.

They'd have played on that years ago but in the modern world if it stays like that I'd say the match will be off

Touch and go, it’s bad around the area right now but you’d think it will be fine by kick off but depends on how they factor in the travel

Unfortunately it’s not about the pitch these days is it. It’s about the area surrounding the stadium.

Rich Sharpe has said the game is on and there are no concerns on the game being off

 

 

Sharpe is stealing a living.

Yes, roads and others travel will be taken into consideration

[speedies gonna get ya.]

Not sure whether to set of or not. From Lancaster usually set off just after 1. Want to sett off earlier and take it steady. But waiting for result of pitch inspection.

We was just about to set off from Manchester, sat waiting in a McDonald's not wanting to set off just incase

Same here from Huddersfield. Don’t fancy the M62 trip 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

What’s it like in Darwen ? Still snowing here in Rochdale but nothing like as bad as it was. Roads not too bad.

Who calls it off for road safety? The police I presume.

I presume the conversation is currently "We can get the game on with this pitch, but we can't announce the pitch is OK only for you to call it off due to the roads in 30 minutes time"

Cars are travelling fine down livesey branch road

Its just light drizzle sleety rain now and the skies are much greyer rather than white like they were earlier. No idea what the roads are like.

It’s snowing here in Udders, but from my vantage point it’s not sticking. Fingers crossed for M62.

I have just done a return trip to Cleckheaton  over M62 about 45 mins ago now in Shawforth looking for best route in to Blackburn and waiting for pitch inspection outcome .Snow as eased here but heavy traffic at Haslingden at the moment

Game on

You can see that big snow cloud on the map lower down on that page. Unless its hit Huddersfield Id be worried about the conditions coming over the M62. However Blackburn has had the worst of it and the temperatures are well above freezing.
