The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Rochdale match postponed

Snow on the ground over here and black ice everywhere. Wether to weaken and watch on I follow or man up and make the 160 mikes round trip mm

 

Bloody plastic Park

Joking aside, I’d probably err on the side of caution with black ice knocking around. Stay home and warm.

 

I have not a clue how, but Hughes is planning and expecting the game to go ahead

City will scrap plans to train at Valley Parade today to protect the pitch but Hughes expects the game to go ahead.

“There’s a quiet confidence,” he said. “We obviously want the game and need to get back playing because it seems an age since the last one.

“Everyone is working towards that end. There has to be a little concern but I think it’s almost certain to go on.”

 

I used to love a game in the snow and ice. When I was about 12. Now that roaring fire and a pi t seems so much more accommodating.

 

You're not manning up. We all know you will be staying at house and playing with your balls.

Seriously though. Stay at home.

 

It won’t be up to Hughes though.

Bradford City need to start thinking about the fans. Black Ice out there etc.

 

He has to have the players in the mentality that it’s going ahead.

We all know it won’t be

 

Stay home Park.I was in Scarborough the other day,and the roads were dreadful,plus the A64 around York will be like a car park.

 

Feels like it wasn't that long since I was sitting in full sun getting baked at 30+ degrees and people were passing out (hopefully they were all fine).

Now it's -4.

Oh well. Rain or shine.

 

MH saying hopeful of go ahead, clearly wants to play.

 

If it was like it currently, sun out and a balmy 4 degrees it would be lovely, however its sleet, pissing down rain and no sun tomorrow unfortunately according to the forecast

 

2 League Two games already called off.

Do we? There's been no indication that it's in danger. Lots of other L2 games are already off. We've not even had a cautionary brief.

The weather in Bradford/Fax/Hudds has been ever so slightly milder than the North West in the past couple of days and the thaw will start for us in the morning.

Overnight frost will be the key - but it's not predicted to be bad. I'd be surprised if it's off (cue; match postponed notice from the club )

 

But about 4C above freezing. If they've kept the pitch frost free enough to avoid it already been cancelled, then I'd be surprised if it's going to deteriorate.

It could be their waiting for this milder air - which of course might not come!!

 

League Two Postponements

AFC Wimbledon v Stevenage
Colchester v Salford
Hartlepool v Newport
Northampton v Carlisle
Stockport v Gillingham
Tranmere v Crawley


Six now. Only a matter of time before we join the list.

 

Just seen this on Twitter. According to them the Kop half looks ok which probably isn't too unsurprising with it being more sheltered but does suggest that the TL Dallas half will be the issue like it normally is.

 

It's not even that bad out.

 

Interesting that Northampton have moved their match against Carlisle from tomorrow to Tuesday. Wounder if this might be an option for us with not playing again until 26th. For Rochdale fans it would be short notice but with it being close distance they shouldn't need to book the day off work and there are trains after the match to Rochdale so they could potentially get the train.
