[Ballers]

Could they not forego the overnight stay and wait to see if they can set off on Saturday morning though?

[Nom de plume]

I think the match is off because the photo on the website shows we now have a 5-sided pitch.

[Hale Alty]

Isn't it more likely the pitch is or will be waterlogged? Most of the snow surely would have melted by KO tomorrow.

does it not have to be a fact to call a game off, not just more likely

Odd postponement - league rules need to be tightened up

Maybe were tired again

When I made that comment the sun was out and the snow around me was thawing rapidly. As it turns out it's not thawed as much as I expected. As it turns out I don't think you could get a more valid reason for a postponement.

[Alty Dave]

Absolutely the game should have been postponed. Better than doing it this morning. Any snow has now become Ice after the rain last night.

[ripleym]

Trafford FC also off. 

[GolfRoader]

The game probably would have been called off anyway but do we not own pitch covers?

I know we've been loaned one before and they are expensive apparently but wouldn't it be a good investment for the club to purchase one for the future to give us a chance of having a game like this go ahead?

This isn't a complaint, just an observation and query really.

my garden perfectly playable 

...someone else suggest the winter break.....

Item on main website - potential re-arranged date next Saturday (Feb 7) depending on Trophy progress (Fax v Dartford). Still won't know for definite till either Tues or Weds evening but the Conference have given permission for Feb 7.

[York Alty]

What bloody snow?

Hardly a flake here in two years.  Gutted.

[RedhillAlty]

So we are banking on Halifax taking advantage of home advantage.

It is sensible to fill next Saturday if available rather than play Shots on a Tuesday night.

I see none of the teams below us won today and we are now effectively at least 12 points clear of the drop.

Another variable to consider is the Gateshead v Wrexham FA Trophy Replay. If that is postponed on Tuesday, then I guess that, as for the Halifax v Dartford game, they may try for Wednesday night. If the game doesn't go ahead midweek, then I assume that they will play on Saturday, leaving Halifax, should they beat Dartford, without an FA Trophy Quarter Final tie to play on Saturday.If this comes to pass, I would have thought they would revert to playing Aldershot in a league game & we would be without a game once more.

Sound thinking as usual, Brian.
