Hallehluya forward planning,thankfully latest forecast has little snow falling on Donny today or tomorrow-no reason game cannot go ahead

[AbsolutDRFC]

Why can't employ those industrial hot air dispensers that just blow hot air in all directions?

Rovin, Norfolk; you must be free to help; this is right up your street? 

[BobG]

No problem, I will drop by and pick up Bob G on the way. Anyone else between Wiltshire and Donny want a lift? Bring your own shovel mind, we might need it.

It's coming down quite heavily to the north of Doncaster now. Still, I can only really see the surrounding areas being a problem now.

[RoversAlias]

Yeash it's coming down fairly heavily here and I only live 10 minutes from the ground. Hope they can get the surrounding areas cleared.

 I remember many moons ago when I was Commercial Manager at the Dons, we had a Cup Tie scheduled against then World Champions Widnes.  Martin Offiah and all. 

  The weekend sports programme was decimated. There was over six inches of snow on the pitch at Tattersfield. The groundsman checked under the snow and the pitch was playable. We did not have the supporter resources of thhe Rovers, but we put out an appeal for supporters to come and shovel snow.

   We were inundated with people wanting to help. Booths scrapyard supplied his JCB to clear away the car park. People came from all over with their own shovels and a local Hardware shop gave us some snow shovels.  One man actually walked from Conisborough, setting off at 4 am.

  We were determined to get the game on and when Widnes arrived, their coach wanted the game called off, and told his players to stay on the bus. His next question was " Where's the ref"?  When he was told that the referee was in the middle of the pitch with a snow shovel himself, he said, " Well, that's F****d that, off the bus lads".

 The game was played and the shovellers were given a pair of tickets to a future game.  It can be done if the want is there to play the game.

I remember Dons reversing a cup fixture with Leeds in the early 80's. Dons were drawn at home in the challenge cup but we all travelled across to Headingley.

Leeds paid for our supporters to travel by coach.

See you there hopefully but how do you shift 5mm of snow ?

It might be 5mm to you and me,  pal,  but that's waist deep for Brian Flynn!

[Mustapha-Dump]

Right, just finished work so obviously too late to ring them up, but I'm happy to go down and help, if anyone could tell me what time to go down (mods?) ill be there.

They did, I was working for the Dons at the time selling scratch cards. I worked in the South stand that day selling them to Leeds fans.

I remember walking round the back and looking at the cricket ground covered in about six inches of snow.

[Bessierover]

Just passed the stadium on the way home from work...only 2 people shovelling the snow that I could see...looks quite bad....not hopeful game will be on
