Game still on but continuing to remove snow from pitch. Will update again shortly - Saints Twitter

Another announcement due at 4, but looks like it'll be on

Still on but further announcement expected at 5pm.

If it still on, further announcement at 5pm, followed by 6pm & 7pm, wrap up really warm of behind the sticks, due to the lack of cladding (unfinished stadium) that okay Saint Simon lol

I thought things were looking good until about an hour ago when the snow suddenly decided to go mad again! It will take a fan of a hardy kind to go to Langtree Park tonight. The players will be cold enough but the fans will be hypothermic!

Game ON Saints v Salford just been given the go ahead. Commentary @bbcradiomanc from 6

Game well may be on but seriously who wants to watch a game disrupted by weather like this. Should have been cancelled IMHO.

I don't think there will be many people watching tonight. The snow is coming down thick and fast, and that wind is strong and freezing cold. I'm tempted not to go myself even though I'm a season ticket holder. It will be perishing in the West Stand.

At times like this you seriously wonder about the people running things at Saints.

Some on here want to stiffen their backbones! A little bit of snow and wind shouldn't put fans off.
Put on a couple of extra layers and take flask of brandy infused coffee. Jobs a good un.

The pitch is perfectly fine as it was covered and it has been cleared to play on by the relevant match official person. I think Saints want to avoid a short turnaround for the Wigan match and I'm sure Salford feel similarly for their Good Friday game and so they are pressing ahead regardless. The snow isn't sticking at present but of course that could change. However, that wind is bloody freezing.

I would not be overly concerned as most of St. Helens is flat. But if you have any kind of incline to get home, if the snow is falling you may look far more daft having to abandon your car on the way home. It's falling quite fast now in Leeds, I will definately be giving this one a miss.

Wise move. The M62 tonight will be horrendous.

Did none of you ever go to Oldham or Halifax in the "good old days" of winter rugby. Today would be like a spring afternoon.

Everyone has been involved in the decision, it was decided to try and get the game on tonight to aid recovery for the players before the Easter weekend.

All that paraphrased from a Mike Rush interview on Sky Sports News in the last hour.

Hard to disagree with that to be honest, although you'd have to pay me to go.

Yes but in those days, horse and cart had far more traction than most petrol engines.

We are season ticket holders and live on the moors North of Chorley about 3 - 4 inches of snow and deeper in places. There will be two spare seats in the North stand tonight. Stoves are fired up, wine is uncorked, curry in the slow cooker and radio tuned into radio merseyside

Well, there's not many taken their seats so far!
They've just announced they're going to put everyone in the seated sections.

Spoken to a couple at the ground who are saying it should be called off.

Im going to set off last minute and park on tescos, im not walking anywere in this. Got a feeling i'll get there and it'll get called off

Doesn't look any worse than the Castleford v ? match at the start of the season which was played in the snow.

Game should be played.

Let's just hope someone has brought an orange ball!

Still the case in Wigan isn't it?

Turned out to be a decent game despite the conditions.

That was a complete joke tonight. The decision makers who allowed it to go ahead have no excuses, do they not have the sense to take a look at the forecast and think what it was going to be like in and out of the stadium. Sometimes I wonder how these people ever get these jobs they hold.
