deluded pom? Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Without trawling through all of the individual match threads, are there any games in danger of being snowed/frozen off this weekend? It may help others if any cancellations are put on here as soon as they are confirmed. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinskolar Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 London will be fine. No snow and temps above freezing, not that that matters on an artificial pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hullfan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hull kr's ground is going to be suspect every time there play there. Do they have a floodlight on wheels??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow and temps above freezing, not that that matters on an artificial pitch! I disagree, a frozen artificial pitch is horrible and far worse than one that isn't. Sure, if your artificial pitch is one of the cheap ones then you might well get more grazes but there is still a significant difference if it's frozen compared to not, studs/blades not taking and you slipping which can lead to injury.

I remember well the first game on Widnes' plastic pitch (or at least the first televised one). The players knees were cut to ribbons after that one.

deluded pom? Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 First snow of the winter on the ground here in East Yorkshire. It’ll be interesting to see if the Hull derby gets the go ahead especially once the sun goes down and the temperatures drop. I can’t understand why Sky didn’t schedule their first round of games at stadiums with undersoil heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fevtom Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 They barely have floodlights. Here in West Yorkshire there was a thin covering of snow this morning. The temperatures are set to be just above freezing but with no more snow forecast you would hope Cas and Huddersfield can both get a game on. Stranger things have happened though.

Hullfan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'd have preferred the game to be postponed, so we can get a full strength team on the field. No wonder kr are desperate for it to be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder kr are desperate for it to be played No wonder you're so desperate for it to be postponed ! Both sides missing players but seems only one side getting their excuses in first ! When I worked at the Met. Office, one of the forecast services we investigated was advising clubs when they needed to turn on their undersoil heating. Only 2 RL clubs had it at that point (1993), Leeds and Sheffield. IIRC Leeds got damaged but not sure if it's been reinstalled after Headingley revamp ? Sheffield at different ground. Does the KC/Warrington/St Helens/Huddersfield/DW have it ? (All new grounds since I was in Met Office Commercial Services department.)
