One thing. How comes that snow behind the goal hasn't melted yet!

Thought I was watching a really bad episode of Groundforce for a minute then. I was expecting Charlie Dimmock to appear at any moment!

There's still some hanging around here (near Basildon).

That end of the pitch is always in the shade.

It still isn't that warm,​

so without some sunshine it will take longer to melt.

That's about what I watched yesterday. I had hoped that the pitch and the game would look better on screen...........they don't.

One factor is that a large mass of snow ended up there as a result of removing it from the pitch, and the greater and denser a mass is the longer it takes to respond to ambient temperature. That’s why my peas defrost quicker than my roasting joint.

That's exactly how I felt thawing out after last Saturday's game! :winking:

So is the person who left it there to justify the pitch condition maybe:winking:

Shows how good the match was when all there is to discuss is the left over snow

To be fair it wasn't a classic!.

Indeed.

The highlight was whether the ball, bouncing on top of the West Stand roof, was going to stay in the ground or disappear over the top and into the Shakespeare Drive gardens!
