Newport RFC game off today, frozen pitch. Due to kick off at 11.30. That's one less to worry about for now.

Best to rename subject

Yes not the best title on a Newport County forum

Oops sorry didn't mean to alarm you

Not that I'm annoyed that the game is called off, but, we have frost covers, why weren't they on ?
Or had the Dragons taken them to Ebbw Vale as I know they used them Thursday night (unless of course they were Ebbw's)

FFS !

Forecast is to get colder next week ? Wonder if the covers are going down before the Stanley game ?

Yep .... used them up at EVale last night.

Just click on the pencil and edit the title

Would have been better if it had been played on a weekend when we weren't at home.

I wonder who actually owns the frost covers?

Dragons

Not a chance Accrington will be on unless the covers are applied all next week. It is not likely to get much above 2c all week.

See Saturdays game thread its not just the pitch its the surrounding areas terrace roads etc the ref has to take into account

We’re all bl**dy snowflakes these days - even when it comes to snowflakes! Used to just clear the snow off the pitch markings and use an orange ball. Then just trust adults to be able to stand on their feet on the way to the ground, junior players and groundstaff clear the terraces, it’s good exercise. What’s difficult about that? Were people harder or just more f*cking sensible when I was young?
