The undersoil heating was reinstated when they completely relaid the pitch a couple of years ago.

Some sensible forward thinking, that's a novelty in RL circles, well done to Warrington if that's the case.
My original train from Kings Cross was cancelled yesterday but I caught an earlier delayed train that meant I got to Donny only 40 minutes late and into Hull about 50 minutes late from schedule so not bad really. Doncaster to Leeds line was stuffed up yesterday morning/afty due to the overhead lines being buggered so folk were going via York.
Snow isn't the issue in England for the trains just the brakes freezing up and cables being affected by ice (AFAICT).
Think if we get switched on and ensure we control their forwards we stand a chance.
Not sure if Brown is playing after his head bang but apparently Lane is potentially in line for a run out for us.

| Warrington have cancelled their official supporters coach for tonight's game - advising that trains as still running ok getting to hull.
Getting back home might not be quite so easy.
22:33 train gets into Warrington at 06:24.
They're also offering refunds to anyone who has bought match tickets (and decides not to go).

| so the game goes ahead as long as the teams can make it - as usual the fans come a distant last. exactly the same as when we get messed around with games being rearranged for tv halfway through the season. warrington fans can get to the game on train but not back. people's game my a**e - the game should be called off

Difficult one for the Club (s) both obviously want to play and the visiting fans - probably maximum of 300 - still have an option to travel or watch the game on TV. The pitch playable, the paths cleared, the immediate road network to the ground ok and the surrounds passed safe - lets back the Club and get behind the boys.

| We're doing everything we can to play the game tonight - nothing wrong with that.
But Warrington fans have effectively been excluded from the game because it will be almost impossible for them to get here safely.
And how many Hull fans have long journeys ahead of them to get to the game?

| Not sure how many Hull fans have long journeys ahead of them to get to the game but however many, they will be in the vast minority. Like I say a difficult decision to make, but do the Clubs call the game a game off when the pitch and surrounds have been passed fit and the vast majority of the support can attend and if not they can watch the game live on TV.
People have already travelled through form West Yorkshire to the game without a problem but realise that coming over the Pennines is a difficulty.

| If 12k+ passholders (and others) can be excluded from attending a SuperLeague game by playing it on the other side of the world, then I guess nobody will worry too much about a few Warrington supporters.

totally agree the game should be postponed in line with the other fixtures.
How can you expect players to perform in a ball handling sport when the temperature with wind chill is expected to be -8 degrees.
Just dont see any advantage to the club playing this game and cold temperatures always produce more groin and hamstring injuries.
Small crowd now its on Sky.I have a feeling the club will regret this decision.

The stadium is an enclosed bowl, what kind of winds do you expect at ground level?
I mean players have managed to play good rugby and be safe in far worse conditions and not even that long ago never mind when it was winter rugby. I don't remember any players getting hypothermia back then ... unless you are stood still and not doing your job properly.
thoughts of the game being PPd for the sake of a minority fans is utterly ridiculous, player welfare is not an issue in this situation otherwise the officials would call it off already, simple as that.

I do, Des Hasler - came out second half in a wet suit iirc and he ended up in hospital with hyperthermia.

| Bit of googling....
"TWO rugby players from New Zealand collapsed on the pitch one minute from the end of a match yesterday suffering from hypothermia."
Plenty to choose from.

| *UPDATE* #M62 remains closed e/bound J20-J22 + w/bound J24-J21 due to strong winds + on-going work to clear the remaining stranded HGVs. #A66, #A628, main cross-country routes are also closed. M62 = likely to remain closed until at least this evening, gusts of 80mph just recorded.

How long ago was that, how many out of millions of games have players suffered hypothermia?
The chances are slim to none, more chance of players suffering a serious injury in game on any given match.

You produced one example, I don't remember any players every having hypothermia, what bit of that are you struggling with?
Again re player welfare, it was not an issue tonight at any point, air temperature at 7PM was 1.5C.
Clearly you think calling off a game on the back of a ridiculously rare example is justifiable, might as well call all games off in case players get seriously injured by your thinking

'" Did I ever mention calling the game off because of the risk of hypothermia - NO.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
You said you don't remember anyone ever having hypothermia, other posts contradicted you, and I found plenty of examples.

| In the final analysis we should all be very pleased with tonight. Got the game on to avoid an awkward rearrangement - it's what other big teams like Wigan do. 2 points in the bag against a top 8 challenger. Jake Connor on matchwinning 40-20 wind-up form. And the whole weekend ahead of us. Lovely.
