Official update to follow.

It is off??

Yes, pitch inspection has just gone ahead.

Scheduled in for the 3rd of Jan so they say.

damn thats my boxing day screwed o well back to bed

Official on Wire Website now!!! Gutted!!!

Saves you an ass whooping anyway, have a nice boxing day.

Bollocks. Got given a ticket yesterday as a present but will be working on Jan 3rd. Can I get a refund?

Was concerned about the impact a defeat would have had on Under 11s pre season preparations!!! All the Best!!!

Im sure if you get in contact with your club you will get your money back.

Dar, I'd been looking forward to this for ages!!! At least the 3rd of Jan is only 8 days!!!

You're all welcome down to Leigh tommorrow to see us wup the City Reds , 3 pm kick off

id love to go but im busy watching ice melt

Not a bad shout that actually. Not been to your new ground yet. Might make a trip up there.

Unlike in Widnes where it isn't melting quick enough

save ya money mate you will get to see it in a few weeks when the wire play there

Gutted was really looking forward to this and it was my excuse to get out of the in laws early

I`m suprised its been called off, i`m in Penketh and the snow has virtually melted away around this way and the lawn is soft and bright sunshine.

Maybe they should have left the covers off and let the natural smogg that hangs over Widnes thaw out the pitch.

Once you go out though you'll find the pavements and side-roads still quite dangerous.

Indeed, the ice on the pavements is unbelievably dangerous

That was probably the problem like Paul eluded too, the pitch is probably fine gauging by what its like round here. If it had been a more important game i`m sure they would have gone the extra mile to clear the surrounding areas with plenty of salt, it wasn`t worth it given the line up we were putting out and what the crowd would have been.

cast your mind back a couple of seasons when it was called off at the HJ. I seem to remember all kinds of bile coming from our neighbours.

Can't say I'm surprised at today though, bad planning from a small club.

tell me about it I live in paddington nad on certain roads the paths and roads are like death traps, spent 3 hrs clearing paths and road in front of my house extending either side, family are like the walking wounded, long time since its been this bad. would you believe it after all that work its starting to thaw. saying that struggled to get car up the path. roll on summer rugby

think you will find that your club called it off with a lot of the fans in the ground having had to pay £5 to park and when they came back out the carpark attendance had disapeared with the money

Small club, big heart and big history. Moon head
