Lets hope there is a big there is a 16 hour thaw as everywhere I have been on foot today it has been horrendous

Yes, I agree - I think, unless there is a major thaw, no chance. Side roads are very dangerous and I bet the local A and E have been on overtime.

Sensible footwear - simple answer but not what all will wear - so WSAC will have the last say for those who can't dress in keeping with the conditions



Lets hope for some 'Global Warming' overnight

On diferent occasions I have worn walking boots, trainers and ordinary shoes - all with the same affect - what do you suggest???

Well here`s hoping the ice melts away....... Not much faith in the prospects though...

Snowboard boots.

Sensible footwear???

Such as???? I don't know of any footwear that will stop people slipping on solid ice!

I would quite happily get down there with a shuvle and remove the ice tomorrow

Would make sense to cancel if it doesn't thaw......Its dangerous down the side streets........I slipped myself earlier today



Shame if it is cancelled mind. Wonder when/if it could be played if it is

crampons?


i was going to say the same, i've had "proper" walking boots on and still been slipping everywhere

"However the Wigan Safety Advisory Committee have concerns over the safety of the car parks and areas surrounding the stadium."




A snow plough & a little grit would do the trick.

This is wigan we are on about. We would be lucky if the actually turned up for the decision tomorrow.

Looking at the weather forecast and the rain falling now , i dont think we'll have a problem , temperatures above freezing

me too thinks it will be fine. Just hopeing it will stay above 0 temperature.

What he said. Tremendous effort at Wiggin to get the Latics game on today, hope the same can be said tomorrow (one thing that can't be faulted about the LSV is the dedication of a lot of their staff)

well its peeing down so that will help

It was throwing it down last night in Woolston and woke up to be confronted by an ice rink this morning so it may not help that much

Just been out to take the dog for a walk and didn't make 50 yards down the street even with my hiking boots on. It's deffo worse underfoot than last night!

Going the Saints v Wigan match, if thats off ill be making my first visit to the LSV.

I read on here a couple of weeks ago that people were advised to park in Leigh Town Centre due to parking problems at the LSV for the Salford match. If that is the case, then parking and walking to the game will be difficult. Where does the HSE involvement actually start and finish? If you parked on Asda or Sainsbury's the conditions underfoot are treacherous!

that was then Den, who would have expected this weather?
and the same as you I have just tried to take the dog out but din't make the end of the drive, all ice I made loose earlier has now been washed away by the rain making the surface worse, its not looking good TBH.

wear sprinters trainers or golf shoes with the little spikes in.

as for the roads all it needs is afew cars with snow chains on their wheels and the roads will be clear

So how many people do you know in Leigh that own snow chains?

Quite amusing to read all the travails going on. Its been raining here solidly this Boxing Day, not a scrap of snow or ice - we usually have a foot of snow by this time.

My wife and I were joking that if we had been back in Leigh over Christmas we would have been virtually the only two people about, but would still have been scuppered as no-one would be able to get to the shops to open them!

Funnily enough, I don't think its legal here to use snow chains - but then we do have something that is alien to the UK - winter tires! Imagine all of Britain trundling to the garage twice a year to have the tires changed - it does work though!



A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from this side of the pond!
