It does, but like Key stated he thinks the OP was talking about outside the stadium!

there is undersoil heating that kicks in at 2 degree's apparently, as the Key says its the surrounding areas but the weather forcast predicts rain and is fine for overnight and tomorrow. However the Bulls fans are worried about their game on Sunday against the Dobbins going ahead there is 2" of snow on the pitch and ice all over the terraces and it's snowing hard there now!!!

Wather warning for the East Coast, im in city Centre its currently hammering it down with snow.

Possibilities of it been called off are slim depends how long this snow keeps falling.

Also coming down hard in the East, but sleet forecast later and like another poster said warming up tomorrow.

Reckon the sleet will come and we have undersoil heating, the only thing that could probably halt the game is the health and safety of the fans, i remember a Newcastle game once been called off due to these conditions, if it turns into slush and sleet and ices up, the club could call of it off due to safety of the fans.

We'll see, only time will tell.

i think it will be on, but could understandably stop many Wigan fans from making the journey, going back over the pennines in this weather late at night wouldn't be good fun.

the KC doesnt really have any exposed concrete steps etc, only the ramp and steps up to the walkway behind the east stand. whereas St James' has several sets of steps around the ground etc that I think called that game off IIRC
