Sidders l live 20 minutes walk from the ground in W.B. if the Met Office forecst is as accurate as it was last time the snow came 3 weeks ago, l suspect the game will be off the wind is already increasing and the temp is dropping fairly fast.

Any idea when we are likely to be told yay or nay?......I am guessing it will be early am before the Stags fans set off.....9am?

It's the Beeb which, I think, still gets it's weather data from the Met Office until next month

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently the handover was done in February after all.

And why would the MET office be any better at forecasting the weather than the BBC's farmer with his bit of seaweed hanging over the gate?

Minor snow flurries with the lowest temp of minus 1 degree.....surely the match is not going to be postponed?

I have to agree with my mate tarquin, the forecasts will have to be way out to put the game in danger. It will be bloody cold and windy, but even Rochdale could cope with minus one and an overnight snow flurry.

Think everybody getting a too concerned about a bit of snow, I remember when the match went ahead despite the snow, they had red balls then you know

....hold the front page everyone.....I am in shock.....note to self, copy~n~paste for future reference

On a serious note, I am watching the Nottingham weather here from Bandit Country, sweating like a piglet, or goatlet, in 32 degrees....just sent the workers home early in case they die on me and I do not have staff insurance....new roof being installed

Please, please,please do not call this off.....I am buzzing for this game to go ahead.

I have no idea but it was you who mentioned the Met Office initially I do find it unfortunate that the BBC have ditched the Met Office for Meteo though, now that you mention it. Such a small financial saving doesn't warrant ditching probably the world's best after 93 years in my opinion.

Good piece in the Grauniad about it...

St Patrick events cancelled on the stage in the market square by the council is this that start of health and safety for Saturday.
