State of the pitch for Fridays game : Mon Jan 11, 2010 12:09 pm  

Hi all and a belated Happy New year to you all. I am a Halifax fan and I am wondering what the state of the pitch is like at Cougar park? With a bit of a thaw seting in and with temps to stay cold for the rest of the week but no getting to the zub zero temps we had last week and no more snow forcast I was wondering if we could get together as fans and clear any remaing snow off the pitch on friday to get the game on?

The call has gone out for volunteers on another thread.

I spoke to groundsman who said they're leaving clearing the snow until later on this week to try and stop the ground freezing solid, but at the moment the game is questionable.

Call the club on 01535 606044 if anyone's willing to help and ask for Helen later on in the week.

I wonder which weather forecast you saw.
The one i saw this morning for this area is, snow falling Tuesday and Wednesday.
Temp to stay below 0 for the next 7 nights.

Look North weather infact I have looked at most forcasts

BBC 5 day forecast for Keighley suggests no snow from tomorrow and a low of -1 for rest of week. 2 degrees for Friday so there's a chance we could get a game.

I hope so to be honest.
