Snow still covers the Abbey Business Stadium pitch but there are hopes on an incoming thaw.
A blanket of snow still covers the Abbey Business Stadium pitch ahead of this Friday's game versus Rochdale.
The current plan is to leave the snow on the pitch because it will insulate against frost which, according to Head Groundsman Terry Roberts, will do a better job than the club's frost covers.
Forecasts predict that we could expect a thaw on Thursday/Friday. A decision on WHETHER TO CALL FOR A PITCH INSPECTION will be taken on Friday morning.
Earlier this week the club investigated the possibility of moving the game back to Saturday (when milder weather is forecast) but this was not possible for a variety of logistical reasons.
Volunteers clearing snow off the pitch is not an option currently for two reasons. The first being that there are no covers under the snow and the removal of snow with brushes and spades would destroy the pitch. The other reason is that the snow is acting as a shield against frost so there are no plans to remove the snow at this stage.
Hancox Catering have also informed us that there will likely be a limited menu on offer if the game does go ahead. This is due to the possibility of the game not going ahead and the risks of ordering in the normal amount of stock.
We will continue to update supporters here on www.ctfc.com as well as on the club's official Facebook and Twitter accounts. |  |
