Speccy you need to move in to the real world, if only it was that easy, the pitch is fit etc... etc.... unless you can prove this then I suggest you don't raise people's expectations. In reality at 7.30am this morning it was -7 just 400 yards from the stadium, and no covers can keep that level of frost out, the stadium is exposed and located in an area prone to cold mean temperatures, I know as I live very close by. I like everyone hope the match is on, not least as work commitments would mean I would miss any re-arranged fixture next week but we need to be realistic and as mentioned elsewhere dependent on where you look Saturday shows temperatures down to similar levels and heavy snow. We will have to wait and see but anyone who thinks the game is 100% certain to go ahead "come what may" is living in denial - mind you as usual so are the Club, is it really too much to ask that they put an update on the website? Thought so .......
Could maybe affect the travelling Castleford masses maybe?? Not exactly what we need for the first home game of the new season at our 'iconic' stadium is it? Here's hoping...
I've been driving on the M62 between Cas and Leeds about 30 mins ago. The roads are clear and well treated etc, and there only been about 1/2" of snow fall here so far in this neck of the woods. The temperature is hovering around -1 to 0C, so fingers crossed I would imagine that the majority of those who were planning to travel to the game, will still do so!
Lets hope both teams put on a good performance so that there is plenty to cheer and shout about to keep us all warm!!
