hopefully the game will go ahead really looking forward to it

What a lovely photo Mick,

Duckworth Lane in snow

any news from your end lads?

Fully expect the game to go ahead as the snow is slowly thawing in this area. Its then down to who plays the heavy conditions the best. One thing for sure who ever plays halfback for us will need to come up with a good kicking game or where in trouble!

Weather forecast is ok overnight and tomorrow. If the pitch has been cleared, I would fully expect the rest of the ground to have been started on..... Too much riding on tomorrow with the "new start" to lose it due to health and safety.

Doom and gloom from Mick posting pictures that are not relevent to the current state! Same pictures posted on the Wigan forum - prob put a few off from travelling all ready!

I clearly said that those were from three days before the Halifax game to show them the hard work that will go into clearing the terraces.

I very much doubt anyone will be put off by a bit of snow.

only when questioned on the Wigan Forum.
The pictures could put people off....

a few of us getting train at 10:17 , and was worried if we left it till after the inspection we would miss the game. but we will risk it.

We're setting off at 1030 regardless. Heading to the nags head in huddersfield for a spot of lunch. Can see the game going ahead myself. Will be a big test for both sides

Does anybody know if the pitch is covered? I think the snow will be gone by morning just a chance of a waterlogged pitch fingers crossed it goes ahead.

The snow has been cleared from the pitch mate but the problem will be the terracing and stadium access which is still covered in snow/slush.

In a bulls statement it said they had cleared all the snow off the pitch so it doesn't sound like it was. I'm hoping for a slow wet pitch so it doesn't suit Wigan, if so i think we're in with a shout.

I missed last nights game but with new interpretation on play the ball these conditions could be a penalty fest unless interpretation changes with weather conditions?! if the attacker is seen to get his arms through the tackle he is deemed to get advantage i seem to remember eddie proclaiming last week - could be more diving than wendyball !!
