Will we be at the Races tomorrow - Cheltenham A

[Reesh]

Last season we conceded a late equaliser down there as we dropped points yet again but we seem a different animal this time around.

Hopefully we can avoid anymore injuries and go into the Fleetwood game with some players coming back into contention as we go into our biggest week of the season.

Referee is that bent **** from the Peterborough James Oldham, he's has produced 70 yellows and 6 reds in 20 games.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Like what you did there.  

Hope Darren gives then the Gee Gee up they require to get 3 points.

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

It's a tough hurdle for sure.

Hope we are not handicapped by the absence of Bannan and Byers as we jockey for top spot.

 

[EastCraigsOwl]

Let's hope, if we do fall behind tomorrow, it's not furlong.

[HoylandOwl]

If the game is on, we're winning at a canter.

The XI picked will be fine, horses for courses.

[owl4ever1867]

Hard fought 2-0 win.

Smith & Windass.

[Tank_Owl2,0]

I imagine unless those that have been out are 100% they won’t be travelling for tomorrow. However, I could see him trying some that need volume against Fleetwood next weekend if they are ready,  in readiness for the Plymouth and Ipswich. Hopefully Byers, maybe Bannan and Icky. I can’t see him throwing any of them straight into Plymouth, except maybe Bannan.

Any risk of a frozen pitch across there

Been quite a hard frost but forecast to get up to 4 degrees so hopefully should be OK. Although I see Swindon have already called their game off. 

[Owling_Wolf]

Looking at BBC forecast for Cheltenham it shows 0° right through the match period.  Rather worrying for those of us travelling. 

[HarrySpeakup]

Me and the Mrs are going tonight - it will be my 141 ground watching the Wednesday first team and her 59th

Heard a midday inspection as an area of the pitch remains frozen

Well, here’s to them making a sensible decision!

Wonder if we can lend them our local 'blazing car method' exponents?

Not as good as the old poster from Sheffield Blue.

[Chelters]

Looking out now it’s very much going to depend on areas of the pitch in the shade. It might just be one side of the ground that struggles.

The area of concern is a shaded corner near the away end.

[Vialli]

On there forum,  one guy is saying that it's almost certainly off.

[Mark]

Game off

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Lets give our sympathy to Chelters who will have to eat beans on toast not prawns tonight 

[Chelters]

Local journo saying he is expecting it to be off. I hate prawns anyway.

Official Chelters - match off 

 

[HarrySpeakup]

Shit

More time to get players back

We have to beat Plymouth to go top now

[HoylandOwl]

Shame it’s off, but then again…. A bit more time off for the lads isn’t a bad thing. 

[Chelters]

Pot Noodle tonight then

[Chelters]

Means we can’t go top which would have been nice. Although knowing Wednesday we would have failed to take the opportunity 

[Paul from Wisewood]

beat plymouth and go top then

or.. our run started after defeat at plymouth, be fucking typical if they ended it

I agree, whilst it would have been great to have won and gone top, I think our chances might be better in a re arranged game if we get injured players back and some new recruits. Also builds the Plymouth game up into a bigger spectacle.

Its not a shock its off given the comments made by their fans about the freezing weather.

[JBO]

A blow for Barnsley's travelling fans as the game is Exeter is called off this close to kick off

 

They'll both be fuming

Pathetic by Exeter imo, I'd be fucking fuming if I'd travelled all the way to Exeter only to be told it's off, yet again fans get shit on.

[HarrySpeakup]

Like the fans at the Oxford game on Saturday who could see absolutely f*ck all (including the Ipswich defence)

Should get a refund at least

Weather forecasts (well at least short term ones) are pretty accurate these days, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange an early enough inspection if the temperatures aren’t set to rise about freezing.
