Guess it will be off then

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

Will not help matters having all that snow on the pitch!!

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

Difficult call really. Taking it off now might make the pitch more frozen and it takes longer to thaw out. Realistically I suppose they took the view that Tuesday was highly unlikely whatever they did.

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

Are the covers on the pitch ?

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

About half the pitch usually, I think!! :)

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

Yeah, not fully covered, some places are tripled up

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

As a Gills fan was wondering what the conditions around the Crown were like as this might have a greater bearing than the pitch inspection in the morning. Is it above or below freezing in Accy tonight?

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

2 degrees above but that is pretty imaterial. We have snow coverage and until it gets a couple of degrees higher for a day or two the snow and Ice is here to stay. I would be shocked if the game is on.

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

The roads and car park will be clear on Tuesday.

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

i reckon its 50-50 light rain at the moment, may not freeze cos of wind?:confused:

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

fingers crossed for this one, I really need to get to a football related drink fest

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

Fingers crossed as well! missing my stanley fix:D and it raining over in here and seems to be melting the snow:)

Re: Pitch Inspection Monday Morning.
 

The fact that they are inspecting it at 9am the day before tells a story.

Stanley v Gillingham
Sunday 10th Jan 2010

Pitch inspection in the morning.

There will be an early inspection of the pitch and surrounding areas at 9.00am on Monday morning ahead of our FA Cup third round match against Gillingham, scheduled to take place on Tuesday evening.

The game was originally postponed last Saturday due to heavy snowfall at the Crown Ground and the weather has since gone on to cause havoc to the fixture schedule over the last week or so.

The result of the inspection will be posted here on the official Stanley website as soon as it is available.
