Now (Friday - 12pm)

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed indeed. Need this game on

Hope so, just been and got my provisions for the bus journey!

As at two mins ago, the ref hadn't arrived so no news yet

Match is OFF

That's terrible, it's hardly snowed here, they put covers on the pitch?

It's a great disappointment as I believed it would of been on no problem.

Game off!!

Please can someone tell me how the game can be called off now when the temperature outside is 4 degrees C, and tomorrow it will be 6 degrees C and raining!!!

I think the club has jumped the gun on this one.

Coolgull, it's the referee's decision; who may I add is from Exeter! Called it off.

Exeters game is still on, argyles is off and right now only 2 league two fixtures have survived.

What temperature was it last night? (Give you a clue, try minus 8 to 9). How long do you think it takes to thaw unless its in direct sunlight? Covers only work to about minus 2 or 3 unless they're active heating ones with warm air continually being blown in.

Snow helps insulate the pitch. Its the temperature last night that buggered it up....

This is disappointing news.

What am I going to do tomorrow ? Pub or Christmas shopping ? That is a no brainer. :twisted:

Right then, I'm off to microsoft word to prepare all my posts for the " Have Your Whinging Moan Here " thread.

Where did you see that he's from Exeter? On Soccerbase, it said he was from Greater Manchester?

match official prob from manc, but usually get local ref to do early pitch inspection, prob part to do with travelling conditions for burton players and fans too?

Yep, your right Bixie.
