We did lend them to some club but I don't think it was City (IIRC they have large wooden covers and ours is canvas sheeting) but a local RL club. Halifax??

It's not all about the state of the pitch though - it's also about fans, players and officials being able to make it to the game and in a safe manner.

10:50 Sat morning. Snowing quite heavily and the sky looks full of the stuff. The temperature is slowly rising though, but still only just above 1 degree. This is within three miles of the ground and slightly lower.

| If temperatures rise to 9 or 10 degrees like they're supposed to then I think it will all melt in time so I dont think the game is in doubt.

| Nobody wants the game called off, players/supporters etc. Although it would appear that most Bulls fans are saying they would take a cancelled game so we don't have to worry about playing without our first choice 6 & 7.
In Wigans case you could say this gives them a clean slate for their World Club Challenge game next week. They'll come through this weekends round without any fresh injuries and without having to blow and energy.
I'm not saying it's right but if the game was called I think both clubs would be slightly relieved.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

From a Wigan pov we don't want the game called off. That'll be two games to catch up on if it does happen.

'"
the problem with that is if it is postponed and played when briggs and herbert are fit then undoubtedly we'd be stronger. But wigan would have finch,roberts and lima back so they'd be be stronger too so it cancels out. I'd much rather we just played the game nowand took our chances. If we play like we did last weekend then we've got a decent chance. We're certainly not favourites and it will be a very tough game but were stilll in with a shout of taking something out of game.

| Neither team wants the game off.
Who's to say we might not have half a team injured when the game's rescheduled.
It's the big kick off at Odsal. It should be a massive crowd. Bring it on.
It's getting warmer. The snow is very slushy and wet. The pitch will be very heavy. Not really a day for fancy back play. I think we'll go well.

As you can see from this picture (the last time we had snow - three days before the Halifax game)
and this one
If the snow doesn't melt off the terracing then the club face a race against time to get the snow and stadium access clear otherwise the game won't go ahead.
Still snowing here so I rate the game going ahead at 50/50.

| I heard we were down for quite a rainfall on Sunday.
I really hope it isn't called off, for many reasons already mentioned.

I'm 50/50 in that if the game is called off it'll be played later on in the season when we have players back, but then so will Wigan so the best thing to do IMO is to play Wigan in the awful underfoot and freezing conditions tomorrow.
It'll be a great leveller

| Positive vibes coming in now. Let's make sure the game is on then.
I agree if we play like we did last week we should put up a decent challenge and should score some points.

| Could be high scoring but I think 50/50 is over the top.

Slightly better odds than a Bulls win then eh Mick?
