at the minute there is five inches of snow in some parts of Hull!
I hope they make the call early on if the game is on or off!

just thinking that myself, they must have underground heatiing and covers on up there already, after all it is a premiership ground

The walkways are the problem. If the area around the ground is froze then the game will be off

oh yeah forgot bout that, haha, to concerned about the game to worry about that

www.bbc.co.uk/weather/24hr.shtml?id=2152 Shouldn't freeze tonight so probably be ok

I hope not, I have booked the day off. Waste of a holiday if it's off.

just wondering. on the news it said about snow in scotland and making its way down the north east,

Been trying to snow here all day but pretty wet and not sticking. However went 8 miles up the road to Harrogate earlier and its a white-out.

don't think you will have a problem around the leeds/ wakefield M62 motorway, but when I get home around 3-45ish will post if there is any problems

have a safe journey

Damn we'll just be setting off then

.

I'm not going. After spending the best part of last week snowed in (after 3 days the village shop was out of provisions and by Saturday we were reduced to re-using our last tea bag and milking the dog) I only just managed to get to the JJB and back on Sunday. I think I'll give the icey wastelands of Hull a miss. I lived there once so I know exactly what it can get like!

I'll rush home on the hard shoulder with a pregnant lady if I can find one
or you could have a cup of tea

Makes no difference to me. That's only the time the coach is leaving. I'll be in the pub for 12 so come 3:45 I probably won't be bothered

Sneeze of snow and I bet they call it off.



Could be worse. In the 1962-63 season Wigan had 12 matches in a row postponed and went without a game for 76 days (Christmas to March) because of bad weather. This County has gone soft!

ps If they did call it off I suspect they'd try again on Sunday.

We'll still make the trip regardless

thinking about if its called off when your half way there why not call at headingley instead
