See the racing got called off today...does that mean we should expect a pitch inspection before the game tomorrow?

Hope they have had the frost covers on !

I've put a weather forecast on the front page of www.ComeOnlineYouDons.co.uk so it's easy to keep a track Lows of -4 at the mo

The weather is dodgy..........and it's a long way from Barrow.
So the pitch inspection would have to give them decent notice hence be early.....so it could be off.
It'll be right.....

Any chance of putting on tonights lottery numbers

Guys, I am the MC on tomorrows game and I have not had notification or anticipation of problems tomorrow.

Normally, if there is a suspicion a game could be off, the MC is asked to travel over and make an early call on the game.

Last year, I had to travel from East Yorkshire to Gateshead to advise whether Widnes should travel due to a flooded pitch.

If the game needs to be called, I would have expected a call this evening from your CEO or the RFL to say there was a doubt and would have been inspecting around 10am to make a call so that Barrow could be advised to turn back.

At this point, the game is on.

Thanks for that

Full steam ahead then!

Well my grandson's football game has just been called off.....granted a half past nine kick-off and not 3pm.
The sun is out, but the temp is still -1 degrees.....and that Keepmoat pitch doesn't get much sun in winter..

Not a groundsman myself but I would have thought the pitch would have been rolled then covered .

Match off

Sorted.......it always looked dodgy to me.



Still, it allows more recovery time...
When is it liable to be played?

The Club awaits consultation with the RFL.

The Keepmoat does appear to suffer when it gets down to minus a lot. Subject to much discussion on Rovers forums but they appear to want to blame everyone for it the state of the pitch, not covered, no undersoil heating, no global warming

Looking at a couple of weather forecasts for February I would not hold your breath about any games not just rearanging the Barrow one. Arctic blast from Siberia forecast from next weekend to last the month out with significant snowfall.



A return to Winter rugby

The problem is the South End of the pitch. There is about 15 metres which never sees the sun

SAD

Oooh no missus!
Snow????????

It just said on Country file, that its going to be cold this week, but coming milder from next Thursday! and temperatures will be back to normal for the time of the year.

Where did u hear there was a cold blast coming from (the presenter did just say, how long the mild blast will last, we dont know, he suspects not very long) oh, you could be right then!!!

February is regularly the snowiest month of the year, so "getting back to normal" isn't necessarilly so great
