Pitch inspection

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Midweek games are perfect for me! I can watch at 8 a.m.(ish) as opposed to 4 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Plus we might get a couple more bodies in and up to speed before the next game. I think we'll know what our "ambition" is by the end of this window.
Regarding the postponement, I can't remember too many games being called off at Belle Vue. It was one of the best playing surfaces in the country. I saw many games on a snow covered pitch with the old orange ball. Aahh, memories! Health and safety was well down the list of priorities in the 60's and 70's.

The close proximity of the lake will not help temperatures rise very quick

There are geological and geographical factors that contribute to why the Eco and large parts of Donny are more susceptible to frost.

Freezing fog rolling in from the Don Valley  now.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Cost the club a lot of money over the years, not having under soil heating .

[Batleyred]

By all accounts, the board had this planned to stop the protest.  :woot :

I’d have a bet that it would cost more running undersoil heating than what they’ve lost

[glosterred]

It would cost them more to have it

Look into it Sammy and let us know the results of your cost/benefit analysis.

Let's not forget, not all postponements are purely down to frost that undersoil heating would address.

[Thorney]

If the fog at 3 is like it is outside my window right now then don't think you would of seen much of the action anyway

[Chris Black come back]

It’s not without cost to rearrange but in this league the away crowds are largely not material and also the gearing of our season ticket holders vs our overall home gate is very high, so the amount of floating support that might not come to a rearranged game is minimal. While it’s unfortunate some season ticket holders might not make a midweek game, financially they’ve already paid for that game so whether they turn up or not is irrelevant. A different issue is visual and vocal impact of lower crowd but financially it won’t really matter in terms of gate money.

Would you believe it. 
Hemsworth MW home game still on in the NEC Premier League.

Most of the games in the Premier league are off. All in the 1st Div off.

Now can someone tell me how can their pitch be possibly be fit to play.
It is still sub zero in Campsall and very foggy.  Frickley is off.

Are they leaving it to later for an inspection?  Seems stupid as it ain’t going to make a difference surely.

Worksop Town home game still on in the NPL also.

Because it's a 4g pitch so weather conditions have minimal effect on it?

Why would I do a cost benefit analysis for a fans forum, it’s an opinion. That’s what the forum is for not just putting things that agree with the board.

Good answer. Just wanted to see who knew that.   No I had no idea. So thanks for info.
Worksop have a 3G pitch also I think come to think of it.

Your statement didn't sound like an opinion or a question.

Feel free to move to sunny Upton a just dropped to 5 degrees same as Hemsworth
Check your garden lawn if you have one, mine were frozen at 8am now perfect.

[Campsall rover]

Amazed how many games in the EFL have got called off so late.

No thought for the travelling fans whatsoever.

Hartlepool having a second inspection at 1-00 pm. Barmy.

Think we did well calling it off when we did. Just straightforward common sense. Pity it isn’t used more often by most clubs.

not really the club have saved thousands not installing it and having it on

Check your garden lawn if you have one, mine were frozen at 8am now perfect.

Just been out on my lawn and it is rock hard in most places. Definitely dangerous to play football.
Do you have artificial turf Upton.  My lawn is real grass.   
I think you are trying to reel me in on this one. 
No way is your climate substantially better in Upton, South Elmsall or Hemsworth.

Not sure if this link works for everyone but here's today's training sesh at the stadium.

[Campsall rover]

Grimsby v Harrogate just gone. Ridiculous. All the travelling Town fans will be either there already or almost there.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Carlisle fans will have got most of way to Bradford etc etc
Just so thoughtless. The fans just don’t seem to come into the thinking do they.
Well done DRFC yesterday.
