The main issue is about getting in and out of the ground. If there was an evacuation, the ground has to allow the stadium to fully empty in line with its safety certificate.

The club may well have spoken with the council about having the ploughs and gritters paying a mid morning visit to ensure the walkways immediately around the ground are safe.

As someone who can and has called off pro-games, I would be unconcerned about the pitch given there is undersoil heating to prevent freezing - there might be snow on the pitch, but if there is no ice then its game on with yellow balls and blue lines!!!

Outside the stadium is different and I would be liaising with the ground safety officer to understand the risks to a potential 15,000 crowd. If there was to be a 5000 crowd that could be contained within a small area of the stadium, then clearing less of the outer area may help to get the game on, but a large crowd in all 4 stands presents a bigger challenge to the safety.

If the ground outside could not be made safe, I would call the game off.

Coming on here with your rules and regulations.

How do you rate the chances of the game going ahead?

Its not just the council. It'll be the club and the police who make the decision.

Its not nice out there at present and a few more hours of it tonight and it'll be a no go tomoz im sorry to say. If the game was on monday i dont think it would be a problem.

Perhaps the club might put out a call early tomorrow to help clear certain areas then there could be a possibility.

The decision will have to be made pretty early and also the safety of the Warrington team/fans taken into consideration.

Can't see it going ahead if I'm honest.

Got to agree with that. I would think travel over the Pennines won't be too clever. I'm out in Market Weighton and its still snowing heavily here and is pretty deep on the ground.

On Twitter:
staff apparently asked to go help clear snow at 8 in morning pitch fine and game not dead yet.....

Just heard KC need ppl to go down in the morning & clear the walkways!

As posted earlier, I'm a wire fan living in Hull and would be more than willing to go and help in the morning. If just 20 said the same it would surely be enough to ensure the game goes ahead?

If rumours about key players being missing are to be believed, wouldn't be a bad thing for the game to be called off.

I don't believe that Hull would have been stupid enough to name 3/4 injury doubts in the squad, and you aren't going to find a better time to play Wire than with Hodgson, Briers and J Monaghan out.

Sportsmanship at its finest. [i"in any kind of weather????[/i

The snow's expected to stop around midnight and there's no more forecasted so if they can clear the surrounding areas especially the bridge /steps on the south east corner then it may be ok.

What on earth does it have to do with sportsmanship?

Sportsmanship- the fact you want a game to be cancelled because you don't think your side is strong enough. Latter part was a reference to the snow, let's all rally together and make sure the game goes ahead!
