That's not looking good

Surely that’s not from today - it’s been a bit chilly but the ground isn’t frozen solid. That was posted by a Wealdstone fan - I reckon it’s an old one. Can anyone trace the original?

That's not looking good

Even with the plastic covering that looks grim?. Bearing in mind between now & 10 am tomorrow, the predicted temp won't be enough to thaw that area out?.

Isn't that video from last year

Hope so!. I live in an area where some of the grass is shielded from the sun throughout the day, & this afternoon that was fine.

Anyone tell from the advertising hoardings? Not sure what ones have changed this season?

Think it is today, the advert on the end of the black seats is now where last year the seats were visibe

Surely that's not from today? No way it would have been frozen *that* solid.

The North Bank ones don't look like Solopress from a distance.

Bugger!

No chance game is on if that's the pitch.

Another week for players to recover

I suspect it may well be ok- but frankly if it isn’t why should the club make a huge effort/spend money to ensure it’s on when the NL are doing all they can to screw us over? In our interests to play once out of embargo.

It’s always that south end that’s the problem. North facing, shielded from the sun.

looking back at the video I think I can see the new Andrews Taxis advertising board by the East Blues

Certainly looks as if there is a very strong possibility that the game will be off. Hopefully the fixture will be played when we have more players available so would still be positives if the fixture is postponed.
