Barry just told me theres 7 inches on the pitch and prospects for play are not good at the moment, No clearing of pitch is needed today as there is more heavy snow forecast, however the pitch snow can melt quickly and has in the past and there are covers on the pitch under the snow and IF there is a chance we can get the pitch ready nearer Saturday the club will request bodies to help.

Barry also confirmed a press release will be out later as soon as it has been prepared and distributed to the press and official site.

I'm okay for a Saturday morning snow shovelling session. Still a bit more snow forecast today and tomorrow, but if there's nothing after that we may have a chance. Welling was snowed on pretty heavily last night.

Barry said its unlikely the game will take place but the covers help in keep the pitch from going hard. He said 7 inches is a lot of snow and health and safety comes into it and also where to put the snow. But we will do all we feasibly can and a request will be made if we think we can get it on.

Just a thought, but can't we just bung all the snow behind the Road end terrace? There's a big gap between the fence and the back of the terrace.

Will probably flood the road when it melts then freeze, someone has a smash and club gets sued...

more chance in the park but again if some kid climbs on it and goes flying...

Pitch is 100mtrs long getting the snow on shovels 100mtrs down the other end which ever way you look at it will be a night mare. saying that get 50+ bodies there and you got a shout for getting the national/regional tv/paper coverage. generally raising the awareness.

Superb... Segregate the ground and have the away end as snowmen. Absolute Genius.

Surely just put all the snow in the terracing behind the goal at the park end and block it off so no-one can go there

I know people are joking about this, but if clearing the pitch and creating an army of segregated snow chavs is the only way to make certain the game goes ahead, then I'm all for it :D Would create a story for the local newspapers to.

Although the weather may beat us I believe we have to do everything possible to get the game played on Saturday. If the pitch is ok then The Club need to make a plea for fans to clear the pitch as early as possible on Saturday morning. With other clubs not putting this effort in we could see a good crowd plus the fans meeting

Barry/Barrie - please let us all know asap

Lou

If nothing else it would be an amazing photo opportunity ... and every shot that went wide behind the goal would lead to a snowman getting smashed up ... I say do it.

We should get photos printed on A4 paper of that bloke from Radio Kent that no one likes and put them on the heads of the snowmen. Every time one got hit in the face, it would get a great cheer :D

How about the terraces?  They have to be cleared too because of the dreaded Health and Safety issue.  Insurance claims are us springs to mind

Even if the snow is cleared the pitch still could be frozen solid underneath.

As j said you have to take into concideration the opposition.yes you might need the money,but surely the safety of everyone is the most important factor.motorways might be clear but all side roads are near on impossible to drive on.In southampton/Eastleigh the weather is realy bad after weds snow fall.
We all hope you servive and someone come in with the money you owe.but lets not put peoples lives at risk for the sake of a game of football.
