Game going ahead?

[JohnMac]

62/63 I thought the whole of the Football League programme was suspended rather than individual matches.

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Hull City game 14/1/84 called off because the team bus couldn't get across the Pennines although about a thousand of their fans made it

[bobinho]

The pitch is perfect and they have enough time and money these days to grit all the walkways to the stadium.

Should definitely be on.

So off then...

[piston broke]

Wasn't the Birmingham match in 13-14 under threat? They asked for help clearing up and supporters mucked in then we got beat!!

[bfc-sparta]

A pint of ale of outstanding natural beauty in the lower buck in waddi will be a good back up if it is called off.

[wilks_bfc]

No chance a PL TV fixture will be off.

A few years ago there was a game that Sky was going to cover that got postponed at the last minute for snow. Think it was at Newcastle

[Top Claret]

Traveled to numerous clarets away games over the years to see the game called off.
Newcastle 73 afternoon mid week ko
Chelsea fa cup early 80s
Rotherham
Chesterfield has mentioned above
Barnsley

[Vegas Claret]

Exeter away was my favourite postponement !

[Loyalclaret]

Reading away in the cup a few years ago was called off when we were in the ground. Torrential rain .

We ended up at Oxford v Morecombe

[Joe14]

A lot of games will be lost this weekend.

[Goddy]

A pint of ale of outstanding natural beauty in the lower buck in waddi will be a good back up if it is called off.

Tim Taylors pint of choice in there by the fire by the bar....

[NL Claret]

Halifax away early 90s, Clarets went over to clear the pitch and got a free ticket I think.

Plenty in the bus depot above the away end (rolled Tarmac) chucking snowballs and singing what's it like to pay £5?

Francis scored twice.

[NL Claret]

I remember driving all the way to chesterfield on Boxing Day to park up and be turned away at the turnstiles. I’m 44 and I must have been 17 ish at the time.

Self edit-just read list above, must have been New Year’s Day one, and six years out on my he at time. Funny how the grey matter starts to struggle!!

It was Boxing Day, probably about 89 or 90, think the list is home games. Think your Shaun drove to Chesterfield and we thought about going to watch Sheffield Wednesday v Forest.

We had another interesting trip to Chesterfield the season before, remember the car park behind their end? Great place to park!

[thedoge]

Who thinks the match against Everton will be played this weekend.

[MACCA]

Not me, but I'm wrong about 99.9% of everything...

[NottsClaret]

I reckon it will be on. Although the chances of us getting over the Pennines to see it look pretty slim right now, still a couple of days to go though.

[Mondsley]

If it stays like this I don't think it will. I am sure the pitch will be fine but people will have great difficulty getting there. Including the Sky TV crews!

[The Enclosure]

No chance unless there is a dramatic improvement which seems very unlikely at present...Its like Siberia up near Nelson Golf Club.

[Quickenthetempo]

It will be played. If you can't get there safely just watch on sky. It's not the end of the world.

[ElectroClaret]

I reckon it's in the balance.

As said, hopefully a big improvement by Saturday.
At the mo, it's not looking good.

And we won't be the only one if it's off.

[Lancasterclaret]

I've missed the last two home games for family reasons, so I'm really keen to get to this one but not if its going to be a real struggle getting in and out of Burnley.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

It’ll be on.

[box_of_frogs]

I’m guessing ‘not on’, but then again I’m in Suffolk.

[The Enclosure]

It’ll be on.

I really hope you are right because I fancy us for this one.

[jedi_master]

I won't be going either way, weather here in Chesterfield is insane and I am snowed in.

Can't imagine what it's like in Lancashire if it's like that here.

[Melbourneclaret]

Touch and go

[mkmel]

Touch and go

Is it snowing where you are Melbourne

Just thinking maybe you are in Melbourne Derbyshire so it probably is snowing

[ashtonlongsider]

Missed last week-end game due to a flare up of my Psoriatic Arthritis and was very much looking forward to the Everton match. However given the present situation I daren't chance it. I only hope if the match is to be postponed it's done sooner rather than later. Think the club have a responsibility to fans traveling from far and wide.

[claret wizard]

Here's the turf at about 1030 this morning.

[turfytopper]

I'm leaving Sussex tomorrow....so will be pretty miffed if I get there and the game gets called off due to the circumstances outside the ground.

[Melbourneclaret]

Is it snowing where you are Melbourne

Just thinking maybe you are in Melbourne Derbyshire so it probably is snowing

Haha. No snow - going to be over 30 degrees here on Saturday. In fact, I’m sweating as I sit here typing this in my underpants

[piston broke]

When is it forecast to stop snowing?
If it's Friday, as it is here, it'll all be sorted.

Edit: BBC News weather report went up to 3pm Friday and showed no snow for Friday although -6°C. Unless it snows after that it will be on.

[Woodleyclaret]

The only good thing that day at Reading was the hot chocolate and living 3 miles from the ground.Not far to go in soaking wet clothes

[Holtyclaret]

It was Boxing Day, probably about 89 or 90, think the list is home games. Think your Shaun drove to Chesterfield and we thought about going to watch Sheffield Wednesday v Forest.

We had another interesting trip to Chesterfield the season before, remember the car park behind their end? Great place to park!

Was that when we were swerving punches whilst running to the car? Draw if I remember?? Incidents at every match around that time (Mansfield, Rochdale and stockports away) great fun!

[NL Claret]

I think we won 1-0 at Chesterfield with a Peter Mumby winner.

Mansfield was a bit lively!!

Remember at York getting some ear ache from some local lads who ran off when a few older Clarets turned up!
