Get royaloak on the pitch, the amount of hot air he spouts will ensure the ground is frost free. In fact have no doubt he will have experience as a groundsman as well as all his other skills

Go on let him back mods as it was fun and we are unlikely to have much else to chat about with the weather as it is

Has ROB been banned? lol

If the pitch is frozen or partially frozen, then we will not have the temperatures to thaw it.
Are the club looking into this with some kind of heating system to thaw the pitch - Is this even possible ?

Looking doubtful now in my opinion

Right, what sights of London should I show the lad if there's no match on?

Oldham - Match OFF

Oldham mate said they had been told that game was more likely OFF due to part of the pitch(presume that naughty Braemar Road side) being frozen solid and with temp's not raising above zero, this game is unlikely to go ahead.

I told your Oldham mate that a few posts ago but it's not official, or in any way scientific, sorry :hat:

They should play Preston away this weekend. It's above freezing the rest of the week.

Positive outlook .

If the game is off which looks likely, it gives a whole week for the little WBA guy to train with his new team mates and learn some grammar

Everywhere will be busy on a Saturday. Depends how old he is, I always liked Nelson's Column. Imperial War museum or Covent Garden perhaps, Maddam Tussauds.

imperial war museum is a must if you have time and he has an interest in that sort of thing, free entry as well, the holocaust exhibition on the top floor, if its still there, is something else. there is also the RAF museum in hendon (free entry), the natural history museum, plenty of buildings to look at when walking around the westminster/buckingham palace area, london dungeons, sealife centre (not sure how good that is or not to be honest), endless supply of things really :cool:
 

Oldham - Match OFF

Not too cold this morning.
Expecting snow this afternoon - the earlier the better really - I am now at a Smiffy Bee rating of 50 % GAME ON

Get working on that pitch BFC ! :hat:

Without abee on the GPG to put me in my box - I'd estimate the loss to BFC of not playing on Saturday, as opposed to a Tuesday in March is minimal

We would be looking at around 4,500 - 4,700 if the game goes ahead this Saturday
On a Tuesday in March, we COULD be on a PLAY OFF roll, bringing in extra walk in crowds, that might push us over 5,000 ?

In summary - Do BFC really lose a lot financially, if we have to postpone the game this Saturday ?

Depends if we are on a play-off push. But probably yeah....It's annoying though as after the Wycombe win we were hoping to take that momentum into the next game, but that would be pretty difficult if two games were called off.

Pitch inspection 10.30am tomorrow

I cannot see it thawing out by 10.30!!

It'll be off with the weather that's forecasted. Oh well, another day of peace on the GPG, unless QPR or JT make a name for themselves.
 

Oldham - Match OFF

A little surprised that the inspection is as early as 10.30, Would have thought it made more sense to do it around the time kick-off would be next day (perhaps Oldham planned to depart lunchtime?). If the weather forecast is right, I'd say 80% likelihood of postponement
 

Oldham - Match OFF

The report says the surface is 'hard' rather than frozen...so that's a potentially positive sign. Although that said I'm not sure that it would lend itself well to playing on.

I'll give it 30% likelihood to go ahead. I will adjust this figure this time tomorrow.

Oldham - Match OFF

Defo, it will be off...............dont think i have ever known a Brentford game to be announced on in 35 years of supporting them after a pitch inspection....Sodding weather.
 

Oldham - Match OFF

let's hope things improve temp wise in Essex on Monday or Col U off too?
 

Oldham - Match OFF

Prob with that is it wouldn't make a difference to postponements due to weather. The snow was early December last year.
 

Oldham - Match OFF

I bumped into Jonathan Douglas this morning on my way to the gym. They're bad weather training at Twickenham Academy. I had a chat with him and he said industrial heaters are being hired to thaw the pitch and they're hopeful the game will go ahead. Hope this helps.
 

Oldham - Match OFF

Amount of hot air on the gpg will do it!!!!!
 

Oldham - Match OFF
