Hope its on. See you all up there tomorow.

Weather a balmy 5 degrees in the North East at 3pm tomorrow.

Enjoy

[sizeGame off![/size
Gateshead v Bath City postponed at 2pm due to a frozen pitch.

Not sure where that leaves our fixture?

Just been informed Gateshead v Dons game off tomorrow.

bit premature considering its going to be a decent temperature up north, 6 degrees according to the weather so there will be no frost overnight

Welcome to the boards. Informed by who?

Gateshead football match is off so seems right

this is way way premature should have waited till morning they wont get as big a crowd for midweek game it GAME IS OFF

Game is definitely off due to a frozen pitch

What a disappointment!

The Dons Northern Rail Cup round one clash against Gateshead Thunder's has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Pitch temperatures in the north east are still not rising above freezing and with further frost due for this evening, it has been decided to postpone the match now to give both sets of fans plenty of notice.

The Dons will make an announcement when the fixture is to be played as soon as it is confirmed by both clubs.

they knew we would hammer them ha has jim royle would say frozen pitch my a@@e

We'll not be taking a coach up in midweek I should imagine, that's their loss.
Still, I would sooner the players not have to risk themselves.
It would have been a grand day out too.
I don't suppose I will be going up there now.

i still not convinced the game could not have been played today,grrrrr

Personally i think it was a sensible decision. Rugby league is a demanding game on the body anyway without adding adverse conditions to the mix.
