Must be better than the Club/Mail are making out in last nights edition, which stated the game on New Years Day may be in doubt.

I've just been on the Rugby Field and the grass/soil underneath has completely thawed, if anything it's SOFT.

are you sure it wasn't all the dogshite thawing out?

I hope so i reckon i can make this game new years day with the mrs not being at work.

I need some good weather i havent played footy since november.

Just been down to the ticket office and couldn't see any snow on the pitch

I believe as mad john has pointed out, we should reserve judgement till we hear the report from rippers back garden...

Latest tweet from Pools;

"Official_HUFC Great news from The Vic this morning - Saturday's game with Oldham should go ahead as planned!!"



I can't wait to get back to the back to the Vic, surely we can attract 5,000+???

My grass will take a stiletto heel, the bird not happy though, she says my big feet stretch em

From the official site:

The FL have requested that a local referee attend Ripper's house to check conditions in his garden before deciding whether the game at Victoria Park should go ahead.

the bad news is that the only local referee available is alvin smith

i would lock your drinks cabinet and send your lass and the bairn to the relatives ripper
