Hope they have got the Pitch well covered, last thing we need is saturdays match called off , i suppose a good indication will be if tuesday nights youth game goes ahead as planned...

Well it is our own fault i know its expensive to run but you would have thought the bright spark what designed it and the people what planned it did not incorporate undersoil heating

I suppose the problem was that they had to cut costs when building the ground, we were supposed to have a floating roof and that had to be cut from the original design, not sure if undersoil heating was in the original plans or not , i suppose that was the downside to the council paying for it all, if they had needed more money it would have had to go back to the council to get the go ahead and we all know how long those things can take...we would probably still have been playing in Belle Vue...

I think the key to this will be if they had the pitch covered before this cold spell/snow started. Temperatures in Doncaster were down to -6 last night but if they left the snow on the covers it would insulate a little. Its supposed to get up to -1 by Thursday and covers should work to -5

Look at the state of the Burnley pitch last night and that game went ahead -f it had been Rovers they'd have cancelled it

Andy Thompson said on the vsc that the pitch had been covered for the last 10 days

Lets just hope that it has done the trick, it is snowing again now which will make it a bit milder...must have been cold last night though the car took some starting...
