Potential Frozen Pitch
Views: 2380
What do we think the chances of the game being on tomorrow?
-4 overnight and not reaching 0 until midday. Sun likely to be out to help thaw, but any parts in the shade will surely be frozen solid.
Wonder how early the ref turns up to do the pitch inspection?
I'm anticipating it to be off. Which I'm sure both sides won't mind too much with it being the 3rd game in 1 week.

Not all Boro fans have six fingers and not all are freaks. A small percentage are quite normal.

You're buzzing for it to be called off just so you can bash the club.

Why would I bash the club? Was always going to be off in this weather.
Just a shame as now could have been an excellent time to play them.

We're not in great form ourselves.
It'll be good to get us fresh for Luton next Saturday instead

You're worried vs a team that have lost 4 out of 5 (and we are playing at home). How far we've fallen 😉

Pitch Update

From the clubs X account:
https://x.com/i/status/2007759015757881707
ℹ️ Pitch update:
An early morning look at the pitch today was quite encouraging. The frost covers have been on since Thursday night and the pitch was in good condition yesterday.
The pitch covers will be removed as late as possible today to give the best chance possible for the match to go ahead with a pitch inspection planned for later this morning when the covers are removed.
We will provide a further update in due course.

I'd still be amazed given it's still 0 at midday. Even at 1-2C air temp the ground can still freeze up.

I’m sure there will be a pitch inspection before kick off to see if the surface is playable.

No, I forgot to put them on.
The picture Donny had with the announcement showed those portable heat lamps on the pitch, so even that had no effect.

Rotherham v Mansfield also now postponed.
Perhaps a disadvantage having a bigger bowl stadium in that no sunlight can get inside?

They should use the hot air that comes out of Wellens' mouth to unfreeze the pitch

From what I gather, LO are struggling massively as of late and we should be getting the fan heaters out to get this one on
