What's happened to the pitch coverings used last year to protect the playing surface? |

What's happened to the pitch coverings used last year to protect the playing surface? They're on the pitch at the moment, they only protect to about minus 3 or 4 though and that might only be for a certain amount of time. |

I wonder how they operate in Scandanavia does the football season shut down there? |

Hope it’s on £60 on train tickets for two of us. Plan B is a few hours in the Stratford shopping centre. Looking at the weather predictions it should be safe for the players.

I'm obviously thinking wrong here, I thought one of the advantages of our new pitch, paid for by Tottenham Hotspurs was that it wouldn't get waterlogged and could withstand a few degrees of frost, It was put to bed last night with blankets and pillows, not sure about hot water bottles, so why are we doing pitch inspection a full day before the game, could it be neither club wants game to go ahead.

A courtesy to the travelling fans and team which is reasonable. Read somewhere that the covers we have cope with -3 centigrade which covers most of our weather situations. -6 overnight round my way but hotter weather on the way The new pitch as I understand it is mainly grass but with other stuff thatched in to give strength. New drainage was put down too. But there is a difference between a waterlogged pitch and one that is like concrete to play on. Can’t play on a frozen pitch, too dangerous. |

Will be fine….those 4 blokes who poke away at half time with their three-pronged pitchforks will see to it

So is there a “ secondary inspection” and if so when?

It can be early if it's bad weather so the fans get a chance to not start the journey. Ultimately the ref decides the time and the outcome. Its up to 6 degrees now so and will only drop to 1 degree before getting back to 6 degrees tomorrow.
I fancy it's game on.
