Pitch is covered. Depends on whether they can clear access routes from entrances. I wouldn't be surprised if we were all put in the main stand and the terraces closed.

Do we actually have any covers? thought they disappeared in one of previous admins. Even if it is covered won't it be frozen due to temperatures never getting above freezing?

I think they were at the side of the pitch at the West Wales game, suggesting they'd been used before that match.

Simon Parker has tweeted to say them game can go ahead as it is, pitch playable and snow ploughs are standing by to clear the entrances. Biggest worry is snow, forecast for later.

Think I'll be waiting to see if they open terrace beofre making a decision over going. I must be one of few people who consider being moved into stand as a downgrade. Much prefer watching rugby standing. I always feel colder sat down and having idiouts constantly wanting to get past for beer/toilets and people in front constantly bouncing up and down like their on a pogo stick trying to see just annoys me. If we're moved to stand I'll just watch on live stream. Club no worse off as Im a season ticket holder and they've already got my money.

Bulls 19 man squad. Liam Kirk & Ross Oakes return.

Bustin, Chisholm, Crossley, Flanagan, Garside, Gibson, Grant, Hallas, Keyes, Kirk, McNally, Milton, Minchella, Oakes, Peltier, Pickersgill, Ryan, Smith, Wood.

Shame to see Vila dropped as I think he's had a great start to the season. Lets see what Flanagan can offer.

Maybe he's got an injury? I can't see any other reason not to pick him.

Re: Bulls vs. Skolars - Snow : Fri Mar 02, 2018 1:48 pm  

Has the club signed up Jordan Andrade?

According to Mick:

Liam Johnson (shoulder) and Vila Halafihi (dead leg) will both miss the game against the London Skolars on Sunday. Matt Garside, Liam Kirk and Ross Oakes all return.

I'd go with...

McNally
Ryan
Gibson
Oakes
Grant
Keyes
Chisholm
Crossley
Hallas
Kirk
Garside
Minchella
Milton

Bustin
Flanagan
Peltier
Pickersgill

Wood & Smith to miss out, although I still think Kear will squeeze Lee Smith in somewhere.

I'd go with the same side but replace Pickersgill with Wood. Go with 3 forwards on the bench plus the hooker. Having said that, Pickersgill provides good cover in case we want to protect Chisholm a bit more.
