If a bit of thought had gone into this Problem/situation when the Stadium was in the planning stage , then perhaps a transparent roof section could have been put on the South Stand roof to let the sun shine through, Lots of Stadiums have them.

Just a thought though if the covers were laid 30 hours before any frost, then surely they're not fit for purpose, or do they only work to a certain temperature.That’s what I have said, look at the images, no more than what a gardener would put around his plug plants, total joke

Unlikely Tranmere had set off before pitch inspection decision. It is only a 2 hr or maybe 2.5 hr journey so expect they would have travelled this eve if it had been on.So don’t think Mellon will have had any say on the decision. Really frustrating as I missed the last 2 away games ( well 1 was off ) so i am starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Yes i know that sounds unbelievable but I need my football fix. Who is at home tomorrow. Harrogate away at Grimsby. It’s a bit far I think to watch them. Think I am snookered. All non league games will be off I suspect. Looks like Sky sports again in the warm.
Cannot put a transparent roof section there, that is where the solar panels are locatedI said at the Planning stage , the solar panels are a recent addition and could have been placed else where .

We’re going to need more than 2 senior centre mids with these midweek fixtures. 1 more cold snap and we’ll end up with even more fixture congestion.

Makes the most of the sunshine. Simple physics.

-4 this morning, looks like the club made the right decision calling it off early. Well done to them.
Some of the reactions to the announcement on twitter is over the top. Usual people finding a way to label the club a joke and a laughing stock. At times its our fans that could be seen as the joke. Some claims that it isn't even cold, it's been -4 for more than 10hrs now.
…this phrase “in the building” is strange “manager speak” to me - especially in an outdoor sport.
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.RTID
