Reason for some optimism for this game maybe.
That is if it goes ahead. Their Forest Green game was called off last night and while Saturday looks to warm up a bit, I doubt their pitch will clear an inspection following a cold Friday night?
Could do without a congested schedule 😟
Being on the coach I am not sure what happens if its called off mid journey...🤔

The coach turns round and everyone goes home

The coach turns round and everyone goes home And with no option to refund, perhaps the equivalent of flushing £50 down the loo?

Maybe the ref will inspect Friday or perhaps they could use their covers!!!
It will cost the club a lot more than £50 if its called off.

Yes has happened many times before but at least the supporters club are very much subsidising the cost. Upto Mansfield on ticket refunds.

That's a very diplomatic way of saying "you've got no fans"

I believe it was around 0 leading up to the 3:30 inspection yesterday and not enough time to thaw for an evening game. Given it should be around 0 overnight, I doubt we will see the game given the go-ahead unless they wait till very late to do an inspection. My feeling is it's going to be called off. While I am not usually a party pooper I think it's worth making a call Friday evening, if the weather will be the same overnight as yesterday, then the outcome will surely be the same. Shame the team is unable to do the same... only plus side will be it would give the team more time under the new management.

I think it really depends as much on how much sun the pitch gets as how low the overnight temperatures drop. A fair amount of sunshine is forecast towards the tail end of the week, but that pitch probably doesn't get a lot of direct sun anyway

The only chance is if the overnight weather rises above 0 and their "heaters" work. Probably have a better idea on Friday.

There may be a fringe benefit in us not playing Mansfield just yet.

This is a match we want to get out of the way. We've already got two midweek trips to the Midlands scheduled for dates in February and March, and we don't need a third.
I've little doubt that our manager is taking the same view.

I've little doubt that our manager is taking the same view. Let's hope, if it gets played, that we can get some kind of favourable result, then. Loving the confidence, though.

Let's get some facts straight here, the cost of the coach to Mansfield is £25 -Return .The last time a game was called off at short notice was Barrow 3 yrs ago.Another subsidised journey is to Walsall £25 Return--another bargain from the Supporters club.
