Match off tonight frozen pitch

Is that Jimmy from the Concrete Canyon Lol?

It is Cam yes. Thryberghall Rd.

All we need is the introduction of a grassy knoll and a Saturn V rocket and this story would be complete.

Covers were supposed to protect to -2 so something as gone array ?

Here’s something for you to try.

Take something frozen out of your freezer, say for example a bag of peas. Then put it in the fridge and leave it there overnight.

Your fridge will be about 4 or 5 degrees above zero but the following day the bag of peas will still be mostly frozen.

The core temperature of the peas is “ protected’ by the bag they are in, as is the frozen ground at NYS even if covered.

Plus with a night match you might see a slight thaw during the day but after about 4-30 the temperature drops and the pitch starts hardening up again.

It looks as though we are going to get these night freezes all this week so Saturday’s match might also be off

Ah. I'd posted about him here but obviously the fan who sadly passed away wasn't him/related. Spent a few nights out with Jimmy.

I think we should send Freddie out between now and Saturday with a hairdryer on a long lead. Make himself useful.

How many times as a game been called off for this problem since we've been at NYS????

The pitch shouldn't be frozen to start with should it??? They put the covers on to protect it at the 1st sign of frost, take them off during the day for a few hours, then back on. If it's freezing during the day then we'll be struggling, but it hasn't.....

I may be wrong but I don't ever remember the club having a game postponed at NYS for this reason before. The orientation of the ground certainly hasn't changed and we haven't had a prolonged period of sub-zero temperatures throughout the day so something else must have gone wrong.

......Safety certificate for a new exit plan, with Lincoln bringing more than Cheltenham, not in place yet?? Something's gone wrong here, but hey ho and move on to Sat, that's if it's on..........

Orienation of the ground has no effect if it's got 4 stands, the southern end will always be in shadow in winter......

Watching Morecambe v Wigan buildup, hearing Sweet Caroline in the background. Now I miss us playing tonight. The buzz.
