It would probably suit Sheffield to have this game postponed. If they planned to install the temporary stand this week the weather would have hindered the work.
From what I see from the outside the club is in a mess and not playing the game would give them extra time to get sorted.

It may be that Sheffield need to play the game on Sunday to get some much needed cash into the club.
It is the big. Return to Sheffield event and having yet to play a home fixture they may well be desperate for cash .
Anyhow the pitch should be okay and we should feel quite at home on it.

I'd put Meadows on bench here, and if we are winning comfortably take Sammut off, and see how Api and Meadows Gel. I think we need to see how we perform without Sammut if he should get an injury, so being able to take him off last 20 mins if we are winning comfortably and see how squad copes would be something to be considered


I think that is a really good idea, I do worry about Sammut getting injured, he really is key for us. Also wonder if as previously mentioned the game gets postponed due to weather? Might suit Sheffield who are having a pretty awful run

If it is played I would expect us to win, but it probably wont be a walk in the park as conditions wont be great and some ex-Broncos in the squad!

game called off...

Poor Cliffy......

No real surprise really. I would think that a lot of games will be off this weekend.

I thought the main reason of having a 3G pitch was to not have games postponed??

Once we're both out of the cup then we need to get this rescheduled. We don't want a fixture pile up towards the end of the season....

Apparently brushing the snow off it could effect the rubber bobbly bits! Give em there due clearing terraces, entrances car parks etc is the other part of it.

We should still stay top of the league.

Sky Premier darts was called of last night! Maybe more to it than just the playing surface or oche

Flight of the feathers is effected by the cold

So did I,but it seems your 4g pitch has also had the union game v Rotherham postponed.

They use the excuse of snow on the approaches to the stadium,now,when postponing the games.

Not sure it’s an excuse, clearing the pitch is one thing, clearing the car parks footpaths etc is something else

Anyone anywhere near southyorkshire has the white stuff all gone like it has here?

Just watched the Sheffield Toronto game that I recorded from Sunday. I have to say the Olympic Legacy Park does not look any better than the SHU, which was awful.
I appreciate that there are plans for a new stand and terracing, with it becoming a 5000 seat facility. Sheffield do need to play in the city as their fans will not travel. Championship 1 however may be where they have to play their rugby next year as from where I sit relegation looms for them. 5000 seater stadium or not.
