Freezing temperatures, could mean a frozen pitch, how much notice do the club normally give before calling a match off?

If we do get investment in January we want the game to be postponed.

The day before at the earliest or more likely the morning of the game.
Remember we're always told that the Valley pitch temperature is a couple of degrees below the general temperature in the weather forecast.3 -
It might do. But then again, it might not.11

Hopefully3

Frustrating that the pipe work is in place for a heated pitch….I think all it needs is a boiler installed and hooked up…..if I remember correctly.4
-
Happy for as many games as possible to be cancelled at the mo, whilst the club is in an absolute mess.
Only way we will improve is via investment / new owners in the new year.

We don't have a manager, have a few injuries and we're shit. Call it off and replay when we've spent our billions in the transfer window3

Supposed to be milder and overcast by Friday/Saturday - so think its unlikeley...1

Correct mate that was down to RD early doors IIRC assuming the pipework has not corroded by now. The cost to heat would be a lot more expensive these days of course 😩.SoundAsa£ said:Frustrating that the pipe work is in place for a heated pitch….I think all it needs is a boiler installed and hooked up…..if I remember correctly.0 -
That's a problem we all have to face eventually though.SoundAsa£ said:Frustrating that the pipe work is in place for a heated pitch….I think all it needs is a boiler installed and hooked up…..if I remember correctly.
The pipework is all there still, but getting enough steam into the boiler to do the job is something different completely!9 - Sponsored links:

Speak for yourself, there might be snow on the roof but there plenty of fire in the belly 😉.Off_it said:

Surely all that is needed is Sandgaard to talk into a pipe for a few minutes.19

Otherwise I’m going to participate in a 12hr drinking session and I was praying on my loyalty to Charlton buying me about 4hrs respite!AFKABartram said:Hopefully

They have a week to get the heat balloon out that they used a few years ago, but I assume that cost money 😁0

Rubbish weather, industrial action on the trains, we're a shambles on the field, 3rd place play off on TV in the afternoon, it would hardly be a hardship to call it off...0

We've not had a heat balloon for donkey's years.ross1 said:They have a week to get the heat balloon out that they used a few years ago, but I assume that cost money 😁
Just mats.1 -

Similar to what was being laid on the Stockport pitch straight after the game I imagineCovered End said:

The pipework will be fine for many years to come…..it will have had a high pressure test before being filled in…..most likely mild steel…..but not sure of that.RedChaser said:

Bristol Rovers will have very probably had better training conditions this week.0

Is there anyway the pipes can be filled with water in the next few days? Once that freezes, we're almost guaranteed to get Saturday's have called off.1

The speed most of our players move none of them would be able to generate a heat lap.Dazzler21 said:Heat laps seem an expensive way to resolve a bit of snow...2 -
