I have no doubt it will be off, but you're right - not so long ago football would be played whatever the weather. With an orange ball.

 

 

[Woody]

Yes, as long as all the lines were cleared.

with 3 inches of snow?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Exactly.

 

And I don't know where you were last week, Webbo, but there certainly wasn't three inches of snow in my area of St Albans.

There was where I live in Colney

[Webbo MFI]

in sandridge there was.....

and if memory serves correctly didn't the same thing happen when Harding was in charge. There was quite a few people clearing the terraces, lines etc. but the game was still called off.

But as there was less than 3 inhes of snow (according to Colin) where were all the volunteers on Saturday?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Sod that. I work all week.

 

Weekends are for getting pissed, not getting up at 8am in the freezing cold to sweep snow off a pitch just so we can lose 0-1 to a team in the bottom four.

Hmmm. When I come back in my next life, I'm gonna steer well clear of teams who seem to revel in mid-table mediocrity <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hi Webbo.

 

I suspect that your reminiscance of the Harding years dates back to February 2000 when despite the efforts of a few to clear approximately 1/4 inch or so of snow from the pitch and terraces, the game could not be saved. carshalton as I recall, or perhaps Hampton.

 

I suspect that there was 3 or 4 inches of snow at The Park on Saturday.

 

When I phoned the chap who ysed to drive the red tractor on Saturday, I asked whether volunteers could assist but he said that there was just too much snow.

 

I notice that Woood played on Saturday. Were you clearing the snow down there on Saturday morning Webbo?

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

AFF - when you say 3/4 inches, do you mean three-quarters, or three to four??
