Whats it like round the Jungle : Tue Dec 22, 2009 4:26 pm  

Looking forward to boxing day guys and girls.


Just wondering how bad's the snow looking, do you reckon it'll be cleared up by boxing day and the pitch will be playable or is it still looking doubtful.


Ta.

no snow at all just a very heavy frost,unless they have had covers on the field for the past week and given the forecast id say there would be very little chance of the game been on at this moment in time.

I live 1/4 of a mile from the ground.
Not much snow about but the ground is like cast iron.
If the pitch as been covered for a week or so i still think its been that cold the frost will get under the sheeting it was -6 last night. Though the temperature is suppose to rise on friday night saturday morning. So fingers crossed

Get some salt and grit down and keep the pitch covered with some thick rugs, jobs a good 'un.

You mean a sheep skin rug should do the trick.

We should keep it hard anyway. We tend to play better when the ground is firm.
