W 2-1 vs Accrington Stanley (H) - League Two - Tue 27th Feb, 7:45pm

Just seen a picture on social media and the goal area by the away end looks frozen solid. I was fairly certain it would be on, but not so sure now.

Should be Ok. Had the covers on and forecast is for it not to go below freezing tonight and should be 5oC tomorrow at kick off (according to Met office)

That’s the same in every other place that’s been called off so far too. It doesn’t seem to make sense but I think it’ll be off, unfortunately.

I have heard they are bring the oil drums into … should be OK with a bit of wood burning

I’m no weather expert Not gonna stick my neck out on this one but been looking at Carol Kirkwood‘s Isobars and they look pretty good to me .

I coach my lads U8’s team up this way and our 11am game is going ahead. Had a pitch inspection at 4pm. Mansfield having a laugh.

Can anyone remember that time when she did a live broadcast on location with dog walkers all around. I’m sure she said something like, “Everybody is dogging this morning: it’s great!” :smile:

It’s almost exactly a year ago that the Swindon home game got called off. Was 21st January.

“If” they’re waiting till the morning to make a decision I’m hoping they announce it early. Last year they’d called it off at 9am so we hadn’t left for Walsall yet.

Better if it’s on though or we’ll have another Tuesday night game! :grimacing::tired_face:

Mansfield have rescheduled for next Tuesday.

There was already a few re arranged fixtures this coming Tuesday so id expect a fair few moved to that date. Only a few days but the weather is completely changing over the weekend.

February / March last year was ridiculous.
We were playing Tuesday nights almost every week with rearranged games due to weather and FA Cup.

Club seem confident it will go ahead and the inspection is a precaution…

Very sensible approach.
