Was at the ground earlier, majority of the pitch did actually look okay but the bits in the shade were completely frozen.

That's always the problem isn't it - the parts of the pitch in the shadow of the main stand. I demand that the board apologise for building the stand in such a ridiculous location.

The board should have had the foresight and ambition to put the sun on a contract. We haven't and its now gone. When will we learn?

If the game is on I will donate £50.00 to the "Save Jim Rushes Arse Campaign"
I'll double it, provided that I can watch you insert it up his arse..............in 50p pieces.

I've just done a 3.30am pitch inspection and can report it was warm enough for me to enjoy a coffee on my patio in sale and the car isn't even iced up.....we need the inspecting ref to show some good old fashioned 1970s spunk and fish out the red ball and stick two fingers up at injury lawyers 4 u.....

Can't we just run an extension cable from GH house and plug in 50 hairdryers to thaw the shaded bit of pitch ;)

The great irony does appear to be that it didn't freeze here over night but I'd be surprised if the temperature rose enough to thaw the pitch from yesterday. Even if the grassy bits take a stud the muddy parts in the goals and up and down the touchlines are probably rock hard.

Can anyone with a memory of the mid to late 90s tell me how games at Northwich and Macclesfield went on on white and sparkly pitches that would get called off today?
