Weve had some snow what's it like in Leeds? Do you think the game will be on?

Im on a roof near leeds. No snow but still -2. Could be touch and go. Nice now but get to 3pm and temperature plummets

Beautiful day here in Leeds, cold but not a cloud in sight. Pitch has been covered, but they'll be coming off as the temperature gets above freezing. Will be like the good old days tonight.

I posted this in the game thread but im assuming more people may look on here now. This is from an hour ago...

I wouldnt be surprised if the covers stayed on until 7.30 as it's meant to be well below freezing again come kick off.

The sun is out in Farsley!

Club Website says:

The pitch has been covered each night for over three weeks however temperatures dipped as low as -7 overnight to present a major test for the club's groundstaff. However, the work carried out during the week has help alleviate the problems presented by the low temperatures and the pitch is playable.

The front sheets will remain on the pitch until just before kick off as temperatures will begin to dip again this evening with both teams set to warm up in the in goal areas.

Commenting on the pitch, Head Groundsman Jason Booth said, "The team have done a great job this week. Every day we have taken the sheets off the pitch and worked on the pitch to get the moisture out of it. That has certainly helped us last night when the temperatures fell to their lowest point of the week."

The problem this time of year is obviously the short days and how low the sun is. Where the pitch isn't shaded there'll be a few hours sunshine to warm the ground through, but like you say, it's back down to freezing by 6pm. The latest forecast says it'll only reach -1 during gametime so the HKR fans won't need to start camp fires on the western Terrace.

Well done to Mr BOOTH and team.
Heres looking forward to a pulsating first round clash.
See you all later..... UP THE ROBINSSSS ........

Safe journey across for the millions that will be in attendance from Hull!

Wrap up warm, because it's going to be a cold one on that WT

No worse than paying top dollar to 'sit' in their ex golf course subbuteo stand ....

There's only 1 place I have ever felt colder than being in the golf stand and that was Hilton Park a few years back when Leigh were in SL. Im sure that was the middle of summer too!

Murrayfield.

Billions actually

and that stadium does have a wind chill factor.
