    No way will it be called off tomorrow. It's 50/50 as it stands, the most important factor being not what comes out of the sky tonight but the overnight temperatures.

    What about 62-63 when we had no football for three months.........I think The Cardiff game got called off three or four times at the last minute......I think the season was extended to the middle of May or perhaps later still.

    This is true. After Dec 22, we didn't play again until Jan 19, v Southampton, when the game was abandoned after 57 mins due to snow. We managed to get a game in on Feb 9 (and wished we hadn't bothered in a 0-0 draw v Bury). Then there was another break until we played Norwich on March 2.

    So between Dec 22 and March 2, we managed to play one completed match.

    The season was extended until late May, but still the weather wouldn't go away. On May 21, we were playing Walsall and the game had to be abandoned at h/t, due to a waterlogged pitch!

    Young folks today just don't know they're born. My word, you had to roast your conkers around a brazier back in the day, otherwise yer'd freeze yer ruddy nuts off...

    If my memory hasn't failed me the temperature stayed below zero for 6 consecutive weeks.
    I remember being on holiday in late May or June and the FA Cup final was just being played

    so those who have olympic tickets might have to make a choice between the Hartlepool game and the synchronised swimming

    Another winter like that, and we won't get promoted until after John Terry's trial :-)

    Had a little snow in Sheffield tonight, but only a dusting around 7-8pm. It's around -1'C now, so only a slight frost tonight i reckon. Still plenty of lying snow on open fields.

    The problem is Friday night. Clear skies are forecast with temperatures ranging from -4 to -7. These are air temperatures. Charlton were saying that ground temperatures are 2 degrees below this.

    So we have ground temp forecasts possibly of between -6 to-9.

    On that basis, there's no chance.

    Only hope, is that we get some cloud cover & the expected temperatures aren't as bad.

    I hope I'm wrong, but the forecast is not pretty. 95% sure this will be called off but still clinging onto that 5%!

    The silence has been deafening from their website. Absolutely nothing has been mentioned all this week regards the game, disgraceful

    Got £200 worth of non refundable train tickets stuck on my credit card as well, looking at those pictures it ain't happening is it. Hopefully will be called off at ther 1300 pitch inspection then the best we can hope for is that the trains are cancelled as well.
