I must say this all sounds a bit pessimistic. I've just been looking at the 10 day forecast site for Welling and this predicts temperatures rising tonight with 4 degrees tomorrow dropping to 3 overnight with no frost and then rising to 7 by kick-off time on Tuesday. It makes no mention of any further snow. If this is correct surely the prospects for the game must be reasonably good.

I'm surprised that the decision has been taken to postpone the sponsorship draw until the Staines game on January 8. If the Bromley and Dartford games go ahead but the Staines game is then postponed there may be a few disgruntled participants.

Looked at the pitch ealier.

Does not look good at all. Will need a lot of work and the temp to rise quickly.

Would have a chance if the game could be moved to Wednesday night.

I don't think the League's will extend their season's, I don't think it's been done before, other than the reserve teams in the Kent League.

Rosenborg vs Bayer Leverkusen the other week. Admittedly the pitch was covered by a hot air balloon before the match but you cant play with undersoil heating on and it was -15C throughout the game. Can't tell me that wasn't rock hard by the end!

If you have to play you find a way......

Seems like mass over-reaction to me. It hasnt snowed for over 6 days now. If games are going to get called off just because the ground is a little hard then you would never get anywhere ... they manage in Russia.

Heavy frost overnight. Games have always been called off for frozen pitches. Still loads of snow around too as hasn't been warm enough for a proper thaw. As for Russia they have a winter break don't they which is what we have at the moment!
