Freezing fog rolling in from the Don Valley now. Not only that but the design of the Keepmoat, as good as it is, allows for cold air, once it has dropped into it, to sit there, like a trap. Because it’s fully enclosed it allows little wind to cross it. So it becomes a cold air well. Add to that the west stand side never sees sun, and it’s a recipe for frozen pitch lasting much longer than an open exposed pitch.

9/12 league 2 fixtures now off.I guess, according to some, that’s 9 clubs which are “total jokes” eh.?It’s winter, we’ll postpone some games with the weather, some folks just need to get over it.

We have had these sheets since the championship days and they keep frost off up to -2 any idiot knows that.
Only 3 fixtures left in Lg.2, it makes the ref at Rovers look extremely sensible doesn't it?
Posh game just gone at 1-30 Charlton fans will be well impressed. Oh it’s Charlton Athletic. No just kidding really. Just ridiculous leaving it so late.

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.fantastic sunshine now at 6 degreesI am moving the 3 miles to Upton then if you get heat waves in January. 6 degrees my foot. It is is 1 degree in Campsall at 12.28 pm. and Fog. Pull the other one Upton. 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.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.

Let's not forget, not all postponements are purely down to frost that undersoil heating would address.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.Your statement didn't sound like an opinion or a question.

The posts that I have made are purely aimed at WHY, it’s 2023 and we should with modern technology be able to keep temperatures of -5 penetrating the pitch, and I no we can do that, it’s not expensive to do so and it’s more profitable to stage a game on a Saturday than 7:45 on a Tuesday
‘It’s not expensive to do so’. How much does it cost then Upton, as I have no idea.
