i think there is a good chance of it, rain seems to be washing away the snow, and predicted to be quite nice next week- for december anyway

I had a look at weather

It's plus temps wed-sun with light rain for sat
:D

Terms of coach , I think it was said on the last away trip that it's not really fair to charge £8 for a trip that short, with £1.30 return kids , and 3.65 return adults on the train plus with people driving - its not worth it

However, with all that water draining away, including snow melt, the pitch may be waterlogged

Snow melt should not waterlog any pitch with reasonable drainage. The melt tends to be very gradual, much slower than the equivalent volume of water received as rain.

The game will be in doubt based on the weather forecast for this week and the fact that Ashton (with the exception of the roads) is still under a couple of inches of snow/Ice. Curzons ground is still a blanket of white and temp not going to get much above freezing for the rest of this week.

As George says, the forecast is well above freezing for Thursday and Friday on the BBC so I reckon it'll be OK.

From the official website:

COACH TRAVEL

The Altrincham Supporters' Club travel coordinator, Tom Jacobs,writes:
"For the forthcoming cup match against Curzon Ashton (Dec.11th) there will no coach travel running to the game. The reason for this is simply that coaches have a minimum hire charge and it would not be cost effective or popular to charge people £8/£10 for such a local game.

This has been agreed after discussions with a number of our regular travellers who advise that they will be travelling by bus/train or car to this fixture on various planned days out. Should anyone need a lift to the game we will start a thread on the Fans' Forum for car-sharing, to do our best to get everyone to the match.

The same will apply to the Cheshire Cup game against Runcorn Linnets. We simply cannot afford a loss on this fixture at the present time.

TASC still intends to run coaches to away games for as long as possible, however, this will not be possible without your support. The coaches must be self-funding and we ask that, despite the team's current poor form, you do all you can to support the coaches to ensure we can continue our excellent support of the team away from home".
