The pitch will be clear enough in any instance. This is a key bit that sometimes perhaps gets overlooked- as you say a lack of snow on the steps of the stand is quite important. Looks reasonably encouraging at this stage I'd think what with the forecast etc. Surrounding areas might be a different matter- time will tell.

Lots of fans of both sides have to sort out travel. Main roads not too bad but it is still coming down steadily in BS14. There will not be a decision to be made Assume you have been out today? Even up here the roads are passable and am told down South the worst has passed and the temperature is slowly on the rise already Let's all look forward to a cracking afternoon of football and me spending the morning crawling down the M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main roads tend to get gritted/cleared. I reckon it'll be like Sheffield Wednesday last season- in that a decent number might miss it due to difficulties getting to the ground- but the game itself will be on. FWIW, still snowing in Central Bristol however looks less strong than earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would be at a stretch. Only way I would 10-12 inches would be to get a surgeon to take an inch or two off! Then again, Mrs Downend says I am prone to exaggeration - but when I'm stood up I can stretch a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about the pitch with the under soil heating or the stands. The walk ways around the pitch look very snowy and just hope that paths and routes in to AG are safe and clear enough for the Health & Safety brigade.

Marlborough Red Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 12 inches in Marlborough and still snowing hard. Zero degrees . BBC reporting from M4 Chippenham this morning , very little traffic moving A4 has zero traffic between Marlborough and Calne ATM . Don't' fancy Tog Hill tomorrow if it freezes overnight, need some skis to get down! Hopefully thaw overnight and the game is on as over 23,000 tickets sold. Good luck to the Jacks travelling too.
