Just wondering what work is being done to get the pitch ready for Saturday, it would be nice for the OS to give us an update on the ground!! |  | | |  |

Would think the snow is frozen on top of the covers they use at the moment. But yes, an update would be good. |  |

snow on the covers acting a little bit like insualtion although under the main stand strip ( one third of pitch running Sandy to TDS is solid )
The snow will need removing before Friday so if we get a cold Friday night we are in trouble.
The pitch will be hard and it will be down to the ref to see if there has been a suitable thaw.
A tricky one for the groundstaff this weekend and i would put our chances of a game at 50/50.
we are in the hands of the weather gods and need some luck. | | | |

Well the thermometer in my car this morning read -5 so I would say the chances of Saturdays game being on are slim to none - and slim just left town. |  |

Just been advised by a very good source at the club that the game is already OFF, won't advertise it yet to early but no chance it's going ahead! | | | |

Will the excuse be waterlogged pitch because the club never asked anybody to move the ice ready for the temperatures rising over tomorrow/friday? |  |

The Met Office have snow forecast for tomorrow afternoon then rain.
The temperatures are due to rise but with things changing all the time what looked like a certain postponement is impossible to predict right now. If it does stay the same and the pitch can be uncovered by Friday, there's a chance.
It's all dependent on the club reacting quickly to the conditions - eg arranging for people to help shift snow tomorrow evening if it stops. It's been illustrated enough times in the past that fans will help, under the floodlights if necessary.

Either way, it's probably buggered the 2-game discount
Fans aren't going to buy before Friday 5pm on the off-chance of the game going ahead, when they might not be able to make the re-arranged fixture |  |

Noticed in today's particularly sh/te Ob that Hornets are at home on Sunday.
They might benefit from the extra day's warm weather. | |

Yep Hornets home Sunday that game will go ahead - but going back regarding information from inside the club the game v Notts will defo not be on.
What pisses me off the most is the club haven't made any statements about the pitch knowing full well the game will be OFF joke!!!! | | | |

SSN reporting that Oldham are asking for volunteers from 9am tomorrow to clear the snow. Guessing they'll be there to immediately get rid of any that falls in the afternoon too.
Now, will we follow suit and announce something is planned? | |

Without trying to put everyone on a downer, game is 80/20 off, start planning your shopping trips now. Weather will have to pick up by about 5 degree's tomorrow and stay that way until Saturday for us to have any chance to get the game on |  | | |

Shouldn't we be trying out the oil drum technique again?
I'm sure that'd be an ace way to get rid of the tee shirt stock. |  |

Unfortunately the club are not able to look into a crystal ball to see what the weather is going to do and how the pitch will be. You obviously have that power.
It is only Wednesday, a full 3 days before the game - would you expect them to postpone the fixture now or give it every chance until then?
Your inane ramblings are a joke - not the club. | | | |
