Pushing water uphill:



Is there any at the Stoop? Will we pay to use it? The forecast suggests we may need it.

I remember the season-opener against Bradford being called off the day before two years ago. Lovely sunny day it was, too.

and we have a near 100% record in playing in the snow! in 31 years we have only lost once in snowy conditions and won on three occasions. IRRC we beat Saints at KR a few years back at the beginning of the season.

I remember watching Broncos beat Wakey 72-8 in the snow at Griffin Park. I also remember an 8 hour coach journey up to Knowsley Road spent praying that the game wouldn't be postponed. The ground was deemed playable and we beat Saints 6-14. Those are the only 2 games I can remember London playing in the snow and we won them both, so let it snow on Saturday.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 - Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader. Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward. Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I? Update on Quins Mogs :- Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo. Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas. Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9. Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg



Yeah 10 hour coach journey then a a £60 hackney cab ride home for us. Got in about 3.30 am but it was worth it. Fab day. Got a hug from Ian Lenagan before he was ushered off the pitch by the stewards. Highly amusing (bet they wouldn't do that to him now!) icon_biggrin.gif

This year I want to see Us going forward in the last 5 minutes even if we are 40 points up.:simpsons/simp098.gif



Great night that was. Remember being in a service station on the way back 3-30 in the morning and thinking Summer rugby with snow still falling.

Weather is not looking too clever over the next couple of days, sub zero temperatures and snow a possibility. Hopefully the game is not in doubt...

Does the season normally start this early in Feb? - Is there not a case for shifting the season back a few weeks to start in March and have the GF at the end of Oct??

Forecast for London Friday is sleet. Weather Saturday cold. Game should be fine.

From memory there is no under-soil heating and they tried to ward off the weather with some tarpaulin or something the other year and that didn't work. It isn't that cold though - should be alright.

Beeb's on-line forecast shows temp getting no higher than 2 Thurs-Sat, with frost every night and down to -4 Fri. night. If there's no protection, I'd say the game is at risk. icon_sad.gif

TV man last night said they weren't sure though and there's a "chance of warmer weather winning" (Met office technical term for "We've got umpteen millions pounds worth of computer power and we still don't know what will happen."icon_wink.gif

Still better than Channel 5's way of forecasting which is sacrifice a sheep to Thor or something like that.

Just hire some blowers if need be. I don't think the pitch will be frozen at 3pm anyway.
