Crikey, still 24 hours to go yet. Plenty of time for things to change.

Paging @Frutos! He's snowbound in the general Newcastle region and is reporting that it's not going to change any time soon.

The forecast shows it warming from 8pm this evening. Don’t think there’s any danger to the match

Stopped snowing around 1pm.

The snow has now stopped where I am too. Still a fair covering on the ground, but no more coming at present.

My newsagent informed me this morning they have under soil heating so the much should be fine. Sometimes from a safety point if the access roads and pavements are considered a no go then it might be called off. I am currently 35 miles north of Newcastle and the snow has stopped and appears to be thawing but further snow is forecast for later today/ tonight. Hope that helps. And yes I'm going.

Certainly wouldn't expect a postponement at this stage.

I'm about 2 mins from the ground at the moment. There was a fair bit of snow this morning but all turning to slush now. No more forecast so I'll be amazed if the game is off.

It's the ref that has the final say isn't It?

It's snowing in Newcastle.. EVERYBODY PANIIICC!!!

Oh, hang on, it's just a light dusting.

Snow has very little bearing on a postponed game in the Prem nowadays doesn't it? To much technology clears the pitch, although the getting to the game, etc., I guess does have a bearing, although St Geordies Park is located town centre and they're used to the white stuff?

Hamilton Accies v Kilmarnock in the monkey tennis, was called off for a frozen ARTIFICIAL pitch, on Wednesday!

It's a requirement of the Premier League to have under soil heating at all grounds
