Is our aim to have every game postponed until Cook is fit?

 

12.30pm for a 1pm start is probably booked in to the diary.

 

Yeah if my seat is cold then I expect it to be off lol

 

Our local dog walking routes adjacent to the football clubs pitches are frozen solid and it’s only minus 2 down here . No idea what Bradford forecast is but they won’t be waiting for snow to arrive if it’s not due to warm up , it will be off .

 

147m above sea level ( Manningham) , our house is 16m ! We both have wellies

 

It depends then if the soil is frozen underneath . Who knows , it’s certainly looking iffy .

 

lets shift the calendar to run the season from March - October to put a stop to this malarkey once it gets a little cold

 

IF Covers are put down at 4pm and taken off at 10am in the morning the pitch will be fine and the game will go ahead

 

And the footpaths? Or the roads also.

 

Totally agree , sadly not part of Sky’s, who runs football these days, business plan model of year round sport . Football is their major money spinner I would think in the UK?

It would be superb tbh.

 

Sadly probably not. Shadows from the stand prevent soil thawing .

 

No snow till after game forecast. Roads and causeway will be fine

 

Yes agree the stands blocking the sun from helping thawing has always been a problem

 

Just come back from the footy field with the dogs.. one half is tree lined , totally white grass and rock hard at 1500hrs , tother half in bright sun and soft . I’ve a feeling it will be off sadly. Balls up another Saturday!

 

Indeed, ex mother in law slipped on Bolton Road today and broke her wrist

 

Get Rupp over, add in Sparks, Gent, Sharpe and Alexander, stand them on the pitch and between them they'd be enough hot air to get the game on
