jdckelly Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Honestly, I don't understand why it would be called off. It's just Boro (i.e. just down the road). Everyone sets off an hour early, if needs be, and where's the problem? the main reason i could think of it being called off is if theres a danger in the terraces themselves if its iced up or a lot of frost or snow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've got a ticket for this game, coming back home from London tomorrow for the game. There's no snow forecast for tomorrow why will the pitch be frozen? Has it been raining? Isn't the pitch heated? No one has said the pitch will be frozen. The pitch will more than likely be fine. The concern is more to do with the roads and paths. I see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 cant see it going ahead, particularly with kick off so early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Ahh here I love snow but when it ruins football it can ferk off. Been looking forward to tomorrows game all week. Serie A called off tonight aswell ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 If 'club officials' and the people from the police/council/whatever deem the conditions around the stadium (roads, footpaths etc.) they can call off the game for safety reasons. Even though the pitch will be perfectly fine to play on and they won't stop people from going round shopping not far down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The club will do what they did last time they cancelled a home game and wait until thousands of people have made the effort to get there before calling it off 45 minutes before kick off due to the state of the roads etc. Was the Charlton game back in 2006, if memory serves? I'd actually made it to the Trent to meet my mate as per, and word spread that the game had been cancelled. Had to get wor lass to come and pick me up.

Guest ProudToBeAGeordie Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 It was indeed the Charlton game. I was drinking in Rosie's and it came on sky sports news that it was off. It's only a little bit of snow, don't know what everybody is worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should whap out the orange ball. Orange balls are class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The main problem isn't the pitch though, far from it. It's all about the roads around the stadium and city centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ProudToBeAGeordie Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The main problem isn't the pitch though, far from it. It's all about the roads around the stadium and city centre. It was because it was like a blizzard outside the ground from about 5pm and the council did not do anything to prepare the streets and roads. I remember seeing cars rolling down the street due to the conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
