    Nathan Jones should print that out and pin it up in the dressing room.

    Inspirational stuff from Christian.
  • We won in the snow at Millwall, and Blackburn have undersoil heating.  Its been pointed out on here loads of times.

    Have I missed something?, does snow now mean a game is automatically postponed nowadays?

    More to do with a frozen pitch. Likelihood of injuries very high in such conditions. Far more prudent to call the game off and save someone's limbs
    My point is, it can snow and the pitch can be ok, just that peoples updates are pretty much saying it’s snowing so it will be off, that’s not necessarily the case is it?
    It’s about the amount of snow. Solid snow settling for 2 hours would be hard to clear. If it’s just snowing and not setting that’s fine

    Would you want to go out in it, let alone play a game of football in shorts? I don't think in this age of comforts, most of us are willing to tolerate inclement weather. Rather sit indoors in front of screen(s), and a warm drink, and staying on the coach, or at the hotel will be the next best thing. 
    Yes I would, however wearing shorts I’d definitely be wearing my willy warmer.

    So do Sheffield United and their game got called off
  • And what about all the fans that have travelled already ?, a bit of snow dosn;'t mean a frozen pitch.

    Blackburn v Charlton will probably have the lowest attendance in the whole division this afternoon. I don’t think number of travelling fans would play any part in a decision, if there was one to be made.

    At the minute there seems to be no indication of any issues so fingers crossed it stays that way.

    Good point. 
    I'm sure Barrow have undersoil heating and spend much more than Blackburn protecting the pitch.

    Think Blackburn might look at the conditions and think it levels the game up .. and gives them more of a chance as the game will be littered with mistakes and will be a bit of a farce … don’t think injuries, form will come into it today … conditions will be the winner .. 
  • If the pitch is frozen and therefore dangerous then fair enough.  But just because its a bit cold and a few players don't fancy it shouldn't come into the decision.

    I assume our game kicking off at 3 compared to theirs at 12 helps with more time to defrost (if any parts of the pitch are frozen)

    My mate runs an undersoil heating maintenance company in Lancashire. Blackburn are one his clients. 

    The Ewood Park pitch is, in his words: "toasty as hell".

    Game on!
    Can you get him to do work on The Valley set up?😂

    Warm those hammies up, lads (and fellow fans, I guess).

    Snow really starting to come down, can see this getting called off. 
    Nevermind, must have gone through some kind of snow portal, 2 mins of further driving and the sun is out and no snow in site.

    Don't bottle it Blackburn
    Seems like you bottled it. Lol

    Blackburn say the game is on

    It’s going to be a bit of a farce with the forecast after 3pm perhaps Blackburn see that as their best chance ??

    How many Monitors do you need 
    Depends on the weekend - however many games I’ll be watching that day, plus one for my porn.
    "Your" porn?

    Just spotted 2 magpies sitting up on the speed camera on gravel hill. It's a sign I tells ya. Either we are coming home with the 3 points or I was too busy looking at them rather than the limit.

    Or maybe we can stop making excuses and be the better team,they have undersoil heating and the pitch looks ok to play.
