Does anybody know if the pitch is covered? I think the snow will be gone by morning just a chance of a waterlogged pitch fingers crossed it goes ahead.

The snow has been cleared from the pitch mate but the problem will be the terracing and stadium access which is still covered in snow/slush.

In a bulls statement it said they had cleared all the snow off the pitch so it doesn't sound like it was. I'm hoping for a slow wet pitch so it doesn't suit Wigan, if so i think we're in with a shout.

I missed last nights game but with new interpretation on play the ball these conditions could be a penalty fest unless interpretation changes with weather conditions?! if the attacker is seen to get his arms through the tackle he is deemed to get advantage i seem to remember eddie proclaiming last week - could be more diving than wendyball !!
