Bulls website says Cas think the game will go ahead with a 12. No mention of inspections.

I don't think it does have undersoil, as I'm sure I remember reading that's one of the reasons behind playing the WCC at Elland Road, to guarantee it goes ahead, regardless of weather.

Leeds have had things out on Thursday and Today asking for volunteers to come down and help clear the snow from the pitch. Perhaps Cas and others should have done that.

Glad to see everything is up to date then........

My plan this morning was to just go as if everything was fine, thinking if anything gets changed, the Bulls will post it on their site and my Twitter would alert me to that via my phone. Good job I didn't stick with that plan, otherwise I'd be on my way to Cas right now.

That`s correct. The "electric blanket", as it was known, caused too many problems with the drainage so was dug up and not re-instated after improvements a good few years back. Funnily enough the Headingley pitch always seemed very good back then but nowadays seems to resemble a beach on some occasions.

Heh, I agree.. bit of a club fail there.

We try to improve the way things work but sometimes things just don`t work out. As our friends from Perpignan would probably say plus ça change plus c`est la même chose....

MATCH KICKS OFF AT TODAY AT 1.00PM

Today's match v Bradford Bulls will now KO at 1.00 after an earlier than planned pitch inspection cleared the way for us to play.

Apologies to those fans who had been told that the game may KO at 2.00pm but the RFL officials having indicated that the game can be played have said that it should KO at 1.00pm.

This is bloody stupid.

At least game on though. Better go get sorted now!

An hour ago, when the wife said " if it`s two o`clock we might as well have some dinner at twelve and then set off" was a great suggestion. Oh well..........the yorkshires are just out of the oven.........
