This could do with it's own topic as its such a big topic of conversation which would have a massive impact on so many clubs. I just wanted to point a few things out.

If the top 20 thing does come about, I don't feel it would be necessarily the end of the remaining clubs. They would be in the same boat as every other true amateur club in the sense that they live off what they earn. The only difference with certain League 1 and NCL clubs is that one group heavily relies on central funding topped up with a bit of fundraising whilst the other group are heavily invested in finding ways to squeeze every opportunity to generate revenue.

The second thing is I don't believe AC was in the know as most believe. He may have been tipped off that changes were happening, but this is a new concept. At the first fans meeting AC said he believed SL would return to a franchise model and this was what he was aiming to build the club towards. A top 20 with one up/one down is not that and therefore another sign that we are not going to get any magic helping hand (just like after the rumours of league structures changing to accommodate us in the Championship this year).

Does anyone know if the game is still going ahead?
As the weather appears to be doing it's best to prevent it at the moment

No snow has settled in Leeds City Centre as yet. Whether it has in Beeston or not, I'm not sure.

Frozen pitch is the issue rather than snow.

Oh Frozen Shmozen. Back in my day we played on frozen fields for the fun of it.

Hunslet have borrowed Bulls
frost covers so that may help.

Good news. I am surprised given the forecast, and the need to play this game ASAP, they didn't rearrange the fixture for today or Friday.

I live in West Leeds, about three miles from Hunslet's ground, and its pretty bad weather conditions this morning

I'm not optimistic it will be on, but hope it will be as it's the shortest trip of the season for me

I have my doubts too. There's a couple of inch in Bramley.

I don't think the snow falling on the covers is a problem, unless they blow up in the wind and let the cold in, as at Odsal the week before. With the spectator area being under cover it should make it more likely to go ahead as there are no terraces to be dangerous. Or am I whistling in the dark?

Just been on the Hunslet website and there is no mention of even an inspection, so either it's pretty certain or they're also whistling in the dark..

Waiting for the match officials to finish their fry-up before inspecting the pitch.

Final decision to be made at 10.30 with match officials in attendance.According to Hunslet Twitter feed.

Please be careful to all going to the game if it's on.

That approach to the ground, up the hill will be treacherous on foot or otherwise.

Can't see it been on.

EDIT: Game postponed.
