As you can guess I'm a Walsall fan. Was wondering what you lot think the chances are off the match being postponed?

I was really hoping to travel up for it (would have been a new ground for me) and I've been told the locals are really friendly.

We've got few cms of snow here, how bad is it up there?

Cheers

Very unlikely to be called off. We haven't had much of the white stuff up here and it has been years since we have had a game called off due to the weather, mainly because we have one of the top groundsman in the country.

the ground has a blanket as well i believe

The ground is always warm-due to radiation from the Power Station :sweet:

VIEW????? From the Vic?

looks promising then

from my stats (which might be a bit out) we've averaged around 720 to away games this season. biggest ones were localish 1800 to Shrewsbury, 1000 to Chester (but was a Friday night) 1200 to Hereford and Accy.

Well, as long as they can see it from the pub

pothouse of course!

Well it wouldnt be the shades :sweet:

been told to head for the Mill House pub, can I admire the view from there?

Good luck mate. They are an ugly bunch in there

thats ok you aint seen my mates

......the C.C.T.V. should capture the outcome.

There is a Govenment health warning slapped on one of them

sarf - what's the local nowadays through loidsville or do people drink in the bars at the ground - just a longer walk now innit?

what a nobhead - just remembered you are in exile 250 miles away!!

Most drink at the ground.

ps I'm really 265 miles away

Safest place to be now I've seen those pictures from Bristol Rovers. I wondered what happened when they shut Winterton. I know now. They gave 'em all black, white and red gear and pointed them at the Carvery.

no that should read RADIATORS that we put in the away end after complaints from anyone south of muddlesborough

Just been told there's a pitch inspection at 11am tomorrow! Great!

too late to leave then to travel up and a long way to come for it to be postponed!

expect a very small crowd

My sat nav lady says it takes 3 hours from here. so would be a case of leaving at 11 and straight to the ground, I like a bit more socialising than that

club shop in Walsall, but everyone else seems to be saying there wont be one. It's like a military operation for me to oraginse myself for an away game,

just me arse?

thanks, puts my mind at rest now. time to oragnise the family and my lift

he thinks he is going to Darlow they have a second inspection at nine in the morning

Has been snowing like buggery for about 5 hours now, lying thick on the ground too. Our main problem tomoz will be getting out of the Midlands at this rate!!

he is a she

are you going? me and Rach got a lift with Blazing

Dunno yet, I'm in the wait and see brigade

wuss! what's the worst that can happen?

I might get a bit cold!

To be fair , he'll notice it too. After lurking in his cosy tunnel with Ho Chi and friends.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand another one can FOOK right off!!!!

Just got off the phone to the ticket office, while me credit card was being processed I asked the lass about a pitch inspection and she asked someone called Dave (I assume Dave Brown) whilst I was on the phone whether there was an inspection planned and he said there were no plans and the pitch was lovely.

Get yourself up here!

It's like the bleeding antarctic here, been snowing all day.....

See picture here>>>>


















<<<<<<see what I mean!

Damn, it was white when I posted, just think of the grey block as a massive, dirty snow-drift :wink:

Is that a lift with the Blazing Saddlers

nah there's only one of him :)

It's looking very unlikely there will be any away fans to make a noise. It's just taken me 50 minutes to drive a 5 minute journey!

view from my window

am really really hoping to still get there, but have to rely on a man to drive! plus if I get stuck my other half will be left with the kids! he's male don't cope well

You're not going to let those few flakes of snow put you off are you?

Get yourselves up here - I'm sure a warm welcome will be found in the Millhouse Pub (back corner of the lounge)

I'd love to come, but to be honest, it's not looking clever. It has finally stopped snowing here after 10 hours and the roads are icing up badly. It's not the A1(M) up to Teeside that bothers me or even the morning run but coming back through Nottingham at a crawl all the way home.

We'll see in the morning though!

See your point

Safe journey to all if you do travel


Here's to a good game & good company - no matter who wins

and from mine

Thats nowt that man, the main roads will be fine, gritted and clear, why don't you just admit that snow or no snow that you'll be lucky to bring 300 just like everyone else in this division (our illustrious Premiership bound neighbours from down the A66 apart of course).
We are in the north-east of England you know , no-where near Aberdeen.

If you wanted to come , you'd come, simple as

APPARENTLY IT IS A BIRD DAVE
BUT WHO LOOKS AT AVATARS

nope am not a bird, got no wings or beak or feathers for that matter

avvie is my boys with Westy, he got MOTM the day they were mascots. latest news. There are definately 3 of us starting out tomorrow! wether we get there or not is another matter!. look out for us in the pub we wont be hard to spot 2 ladies and a man

only wet and windy forcast up here so you should make time once you clear the snow line

thanks all for the banter and the weather up dates. Really hoping we get through the snow and come home with 3 points for the effort

Westy is a very nice man.Was great with the kids, football wise he's a bit hit and miss at the moment. Either outstanding or complete cr@p. Hope it's outstanding tomorrow.
