Apparently Langtree Park (an excellent looking facility, of which I think most of us are at least a little bit jealous of) doesn't have undersoil heating either.

Hmmm in no danger, what a reassuring and rational comment; let's see, 10cms of snow forecast, -9 at the stadium at 7.30am this morning, -6/-7 for a solid 8 hours last night which no covers can cope with, weather warnings in place and sporting events falling by the wayside every minute - if you need to know how good covers are long term then read the below - these are state of the art covers put down a week ago to keep the frost out .......

[iSaturday's meeting at Sandown has been abandoned due to a frozen track.

Clerk of the course Andrew Cooper inspected the track at 8am and was forced to call off the meeting, which was due to feature Champion Hurdle hopeful Binocular amongst others.

Cooper and his team had covered the track earlier in the week to give the meeting every chance of going ahead.

However, the covers failed to beat a series of cold nights and Cooper admitted it had not been too tough a decision to call off the fixture.

He said

So a horse race being called off in Surrey is proof that an RL game in Salford will be called off. But an RL game in Leeds going ahead proves nothing? Like your logic there

Sandown totally different micro-climate to Salford anyway this morning on the BBC Northwest they put up a graphic stating tomorrow will be 8C with rain, again totally different from the BBC website.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



The BBC Weather forecast always mirror's the Met Office website. The Met Office are forecasting -4C overnight with heavy snow between 3pm and 9pm tomorrow and a temperature high of 1C around 12pm, dropping to 0 C.

Unless they've got it wrong, it looks very doubtful to me.

im pretty worried with the snow moving in from the west,we at cas have had the set off time for the coaches moved back an hour to a 3pm set off has they are anticipating a rough ride over the pennines,a few things that will need to be considered is how do the fans get there and back safely and what will the viwers be able to see if the snow is has heavy has predicted.

i have a feeling the game will be off if the snow is has bad has they are saying but hope im wrong.

I can see the snow being the bigger issue. But we played Wigan in plenty of snow in 2006 - so the issue is less about the actual game of rugby and more about how the public generally panic at the sight of a snowflake and the roads get clogged. If Sky are there early, and the players get there, sky won't give a toss about others getting there as long as they can show a game even if the pitch is white. I don't think they make orange balls any more so the TV spectacle may be somewhat reduced by the invisibility of the ball when it's not in a player' hands.

I thought that they tore it up a few years ago after having lots of problems with the pitch.

The trend is to pass on undersoil heating systems. It costs around £4000 a day to run and knackers the pitch long-term.

Aye. There's a cracking panorama somewhere (from Diavolo Rosso if I remember rightly) although I can't find where it is.

EDIT: Found it. Or at least, a reduced version of it anyway. I'm sure I've seen it bigger.
