Still highly unlikely I reckon.

They would have to clear the pitch of snow to allow the pitch to even start thawing, doubt they will do that today.

The drainage pipes underneath could also be frozen and not allow any melting snow (water) to get away so that could lead to waterlogging.

And as they need to make a decision on Tuesday morning I reckon its a no go.

If is postponed again,what happens? Does Ebbsfleet get called off and play Wimbledon? Or does sense then come in and decide to play league fixture and Trophy happens midweek?

Though I may be wrong, I think Trophy takes precedence over midweek league matches, but not weekend games. It's this part of the season when we thank God we haven't got the CSC to worry about as well.

Ebbsfleet would still go ahead as planned, weather permitting.

I think if it's off this Tuesday it moves to a week Tuesday, which means the Mansfield game is moved.

I reckon we should play Mansfield as late as posssible so the statutory 2 red cards don't the normal damage.

Well, there is a massive change in the 5 day forecast for the south east since yesterday.
I find it strange that Kingston that is only 15 miles away is 3C warmer than Redhill.
The temperature currently is 3C here, the snow is beginning to thaw - now only 7cms deep in my back garden, but there are still fine snow showers. Still cant attempt to get my car out of my garage.
For the match to be played on Tuesday I would think that they would have to brush away the snow today and hope the new temperature forcast of above freezing for the next 2 nights is correct. Today it looks possible the the temperatures may permit the game to go ahead on Tuesday - yesterday there was no chance.

Half my lawn is now visible, and the pavements outside are clearing fast. Provided it stays above zero tonight I think there is a chance.

For Redhill, Rob, for some reason Redhill is generally one of the coldest places in the South East, and often is substantially colder than even nearby Croydon. I really don't know why, but I believe it may be in a frost hollow.

One thing is for sure, we will need Southern Alty for this one to ensure we have at least someone there!

Thinking about this, anyone see a reason why , having regard to the thaw and forecast, the clubs couldn't agree to switch this to Wednesday? It would give the pitch, teams and supporters more time.

I'll be there if it's on as long as I'm not required to work late.
