Dagenham match is already in doubt - CALLED OFF (Merged*8)

[saafend_seagull]

Drove thru dagenham today, ice on fields and v cold...

 

[sir albion]

Well considering it passed a inspection xmas eve and the daggers are very confident of it going ahead,i can't see why it will be off as the weather is above freezing tomorow.

The game will be on

 

[severnside gull]

-16 in the midlands this morning and already down to -9 tonight

hope it's warmer down south

A balmy -2 in BN1 right now.

Will pubs be open before/after the game or is it some bollox Jesus hours?

 

[hola gus]

Soooo glad its on! Rock on baby. Me and 3 others in the home end.

Any news of a pitch inspection for tomorrow morning?

not a religious holiday so should be normal licence hours whatever they may be

Forecast for Dagenham is minus 6 overnight, and below freezing all day tomorrow, doesn't look good. Only thing in the games favour is that their stands are small so pitch does get some sun. Think it will still be off though.

 

[El Presidente]

Setting off at 7.30 from Manchester, so I hope the club pass on the decision quickly via text if it is called off.

For a 1pm kick off you would hope that they will be making a pitch inspection at 9 and not fannying about.

just took the dogs out


-14C


they took one look and ran back indoors peeing in the doorway as they went


Still keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow (but with my gloves on!)

If they don't do a 9am inspection or similar and the game ends up off.......

They have requested people turn up at half nine to help remove the covers, can't see how they could make a decision before this has been completed.

 

[saltash seagull]

i will be doing the same from plymouth hoping its not a repeat of the notts county game

 

[clippedgull]

I would guess as it's a relatively short journey (for most people) they will probably inspect around 11'ish. Give the sun a chance to do it's magic.

Its already had an inspection. And its on. Why the f*** is everyone flapping?

The officials knew the weather forecast for next few days if they were that worried theyd have just done the original inspection tomoro morning instead.

See your point, but i think the article from the first inspection should've had something about a possible later inspection on the day.
Then the forecasts were -4 overnight, and 1 degree all day tomorrow. Now its not expected to get above freezing, and -6 all night.
Hope its on.

Me too plus 4
