If it goes ahead, looking like another 6k attendance

 

[WestyReturns]

Really hope this one goes ahead. Feel like we can really build some confidence with a win tomorrow and then with another home game Sat.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Yeah we need to do everything to get this one on - 6k plus, under the lights, new striker announced (?!) - the Hall will be buzzing.

Let's nick the rusty oil barrel with the fire in it off of the striking doctors for the South West Corner!

Maybe you also remember when clubs in their efforts to get a big cup tie on used to burn coal or coke in braziers and place them in various places on the pitch. Seems so primitive now.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

If off then the 13th Feb looks like the first open date.

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Have they announced if / when they'll be a pitch inspection ? Or shall I just hit Ctrl F5 on the official site every hour ?

After the past years shenanigans I am surprised your F5 key isn't worn out.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers

Wealdstone travel well too considering the size of the club, would expect at least 300 in the away end.

Impressive for a Tuesday evening (freezing cold)

Would be decent if they did. Especially as they’ve only sold 50 tickets in advance so far. Will be off though, unfortunately.

 

[Medway Blue]

Can't see this going ahead, unfortunately

Can't see this going ahead, unfortunately

If it doesn't at least we have got Saturday and Tuesday next week - not facing a two week break.

I've never understood why say 10 or 12 patio heaters can't be purchased and strategically placed around the pitch to prevent a freeze.

 

[Target man]

Just got in from refereeing tonight and my only prediction for tomorrow night is that we're all gonna freeze our nuts off!

Cost

Cost

What for a few patio heaters. They arent that expensive.

Could easily cover the pitch for £1000
