    Why did you feel the need to add the last sentence? Nothing to do with you liking of when the team plays. You like to stick the knife in when you can. Weirdo.

    I think you can disagree with someone without resorting to calling them a 'weirdo' ...

    Guess l am ‘loyal’ if it is on a Tuesday or Friday evening, as well as the ubiquitous Saturday. I support City, rather than 3.00 pm, purely on a Saturday start. How do you cope with early kick offs on a Saturday?

    I didn’t say I wouldn’t go, I said I can’t be arsed / have no motivation for Tues.
    Don’t embarrass yourself with the ‘loyal’ jibe.

    I haven’t, my user name is what it is. It is Bradford City that plays on a Tuesday or Friday evening, my team, that for me is what counts. If you choose not to go that is a decision for yourself!

    We most certainly DON'T have league two stadium facilities.

    I’m no expert on grass, but you have to wonder whether the covers do more harm than good.
    They’ve apparently been on all week but failed to prevent the pitch being frozen, during that time what grass remains will have been starved of light and air. If you ever went camping you would know when you take up the ground sheet all the grass is limp and yellow and takes weeks to recover, so if the covers fail to stop the frost then we’re probably best leaving them off and letting the pitch breathe.

    I agree. If they'd left the covers off the pitch would have been totally playable. Never used to have this problem back in the day.

    Grass is great protector from frost but our pitch has very little

    Posting a summertime pic and suggesting this is how it used to be is for the hard of thinking. Does it come easy?

    It helps of course but our local football pitches had been absolutely rock hard, like concrete , all week. Unless we have a heated “ tent” or under soil heating like zillions of £’s if Sky money pays for in the Prem , there is very little option to combat frost, without expensive heat. I remember years ago they used to bring in tons of straw to VP, pre an important game. Never worked, because it took so long to remove it , the ground froze immediately it was removed.

    Must admit I can't ever remember a game being called off on a day where the weather has been as suitable to football as this. Not even close.

    Little tip - probably best to actually watch the vid before commenting and if you don't want to do that, maybe don't comment at all.

    I’ve just been out for a walk and all grass I walked on was still frozen solid. The weather might be perfect (would prefer a bit warmer mind), but the grass most likely isn’t still

    No interest . The pic paints a thousand words compared to one’s own text . Misleading !
