Just seen a picture of the odsal pitch on look north and it looks very very white!
Are there covers on? What kind of state is the pitch in?
I really really hope we don't lose another week!!!
when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.

they'll leave clearing the pitch as long as possible as the snow actually protects the pitch. Someone mentioned they'd been to odsal earlier in week and groundsman said the pitch was fine under the snow. The terraces will be the problem, but as others have said rooley end is clearin nicely on its own so the've only got pop side to do. I'd imagine worst case is they clear as much as possible and close off worst sections. Can't see us needing full capacity first game of season even if Kr do bring a decent amount over.

Over here at the BRI it has been non stop snow for over a hour now. The roads are starting to choke I see.
Bad news for Sundays game.
you dont half go over the top mick. I work just the other side of the hill from the BRI and there was some sleety snow for about an hour 11-12ish this morning, which if anything only helped to wash away the remaining snow in cottingley.

Forecast: Light snow this evening, dry tomorrow, light rain Saturday, light rain and a balmy 8C Sunday. Game on.....hopefully
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Have to say I'd be happier if there was something from the club regarding the fixture. Just a quick press release of a website update. Just to put my mind at rest about the game being on or not

Yes would be useful for us too. I've got a ticket but my daughter couldn't get a swap so will be hoping to swap on the day, if part of the ground is cordoned off would this reduce the capacity greatly?

I've just been up to Odsal and spoke to Stuart Duffy who's extremely confident that the game will go ahead. The snow is starting to be cleared from the pitch. The Rooley lane terracing is completely clear of snow and they have started on the popular side. The car park is also being cleared of snow.
I took some photo's I'll add them when I get a chance.
I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

You could get some heavy snow coming down though.. my local news showed where the snow will be moving to and it moving southwards and looks to be hitting leeds so would expect it to get you too.. although i don't mind if it wishes to just stay here cause i'll make it home as i'm below where the A66 closes! I woke up to about an inch two hours ago.. its now at least two inches.
