    Make him wait and make him earn it. No one should be guaranteed a spot. You get your chance you take it.

    Crawleys just got off the mark ;)
    Sri Lanka v England for me today

    Hopefully the game is on Saturday and we will continue our improved run.

    Due to snow all day today, but should be clearer and milder by Saturday. We really can't afford another postponement

    With covers on and no fans to worry about then there should be no issue...

    Clearing the snow will be the issue - we'd rely on volunteers normally, but I presume we can't do so at the minute.

    Looking at the forecast, I think the game will be in real doubt.

    There’s a video on twitter of the groundsman moving the snow off of the pitch.
    If it is the pitch, it doesn’t look in great condition?

    They tweeted earlier to say the covers were on but you can see the pitch markings on that video.

    That picture looks like the snow has stopped at VP. Still coming down here - 3 miles away. Heavy frost tonight, not getting above freezing all day so no thaw, and then peeing down all day before kick off. Hopefully can get most of the snow of before then but if postponed it will be due to a water logged pitch. I don't think that dodgy drainage has ever been sorted. Anyway keep safe and warm all.

    It's not about the snow now it. It will be about the temperate and if it rains.

    As cold temperate will make the ground frozen and rain with make it waterlogged.

    The game will be in serious doubt and its not for me to see this.

    I'd be very surprised - and impressed with the club - if this game goes ahead. You never know though. Temperatures for Saturday morning are milder

    Not a prayer this is going ahead. It’ll get called off today to stop Crawley making a wasted journey up

    Yeah don't we have to pay their travel costs if they set off and make it past half way then we call it off?

    I so could be wrong with that.
