That's nice for you. The ground isn't in Thanet though.Airman Brown said:
That’s not it, though. We’ve had no snow in Thanet. We do have ice today.Off_it said:If the pitch is playable the game should go ahead.
Calling it off because it snowed a week earlier would be ridiculous.

I think the point is that ice can form with or without snow. The problem is the temperature now, not just that it snowed a while ago.Off_it said:

Good to see a CL dispute over the dangers of ice/snow....👍9

Does anyone know when there is an inspection?1

Peterborough's game in L1 and several in L2 including the game at Wimbledon have been postponed already0

It can indeed. But I thought the specific problem around the ground was that the snow that fell last week hasn't been cleared and is now frozen into ice.Airman Brown said:

If that snow wasn't still there, ie because it had been cleared, then there might still be a risk of icy patches of course, but probably nothing like the problem that's there now.0 -
The snow would actually have been an insulator. Without it the ground would in fact freeze more... Weirdly.1

Need someone on the ground. Anyone live round the corner from the valley? There's no money involved, and think safety first. But imagine the virtual love that will emanate from CL when u confirm the snow/ice/grit situation at Floyd Road and provide the current friction coefficient.I suggest a video uploaded to YouTube might be the preferred format.1

That's probably to protect Kenilworth Road just in case Spanner fans want to give a loved one a bucket seat for Christmas.killerandflash said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64000416

Might even get Jayden up to speed.thetomahawkkid said:letthegoodtimesroll said:
My advice is wear some boots or shoes with appropriate soles.seth plum said:I think it is an age thing. Round here the young ones sprint along and then do a standing slide which makes the black and white ice more slippery.
A fall at my age could easily be a broken bone or two which would take months to heal. After adding to NHS burdens as well.
My advice to everybody is don’t get any older.

Similar to Newcastle away in the Premier League days.sam3110 said:Well I live a 10 min walk from The Valley and all the roads and especially pavements in the surrounding area are slippery as hell, as the name suggests the sun doesn't get on it that much and it's not really gone above freezing for several days.
Unless there's a mammoth gritting operation today then I won't be surprised if they call it off due to safety0 -

His aerial ability has diminished considerably since his back/hip injury last season.0 -
Been to the ground today , the snow was being cleared from the pitch at 2pm. All the Jimmy Seed end of the pitch was in the shade and still snow covered. I don't know how effective the under soil heating is but if it goes below zero tonight , I think it will be off.2

Just phoned the club
"At the moment the game is definitely on. The pitch is clear and the surrounding roads have been gritted"
Checked BBC weather says -5 tonight, 7 degrees tomorrow.
We will see.1 -
80% off
20% on.
The games is definitely on at the moment because they haven't called it off yet!3 -
He could perhaps double-toe-loop it into the top corner?Briston_Addick said:

Definitely the right decision to make the decision today, either way, especially for the away fans0
-
In the good old days, the club would have asked for volunteers to help clear & grit/salt the walkways which I understand are still icy.
Teamwork within a club united with its fans.2 -

How would that work with the surrounding roads, though?Fanny Fanackapan said:In the good old days, the club would have asked for volunteers to help clear & grit/salt the walkways which I understand are still icy.

That would be as much, if not more, of a problem as the stadium itself.1
