The temperature is 1c at the moment and dropping this afternoon, freezing again tonight, 9c tommorow afternoon is way too late and won`t do a damn thing, it`s too frozen, even if the sun came out all today and was nice and warm tommorow afternoon it still wouldn`t be able to thaw out, it will need a few of days not dropping below zero to do anything at all. Calling it off tommorow is just madness and expensive, hotels and travel for Burton would be our problem not theirs, the pitch won`t change over night and the descision would not change either so it`s in everyones best interest for the game to be re-arranged, this might piss some fans off but shit happens, live with it! Not sure where you get your facts from aussie but i suggest you look at the bbc weather site. This decision should have been made tomorrow morning.......when i reckon their would have been every chance of it going ahead - the freezing weather has now passed for the time being. Exeter have had it much worse than us this week but they are "hopeful of the game going ahead" despite their pitch being like ours, currently frozen in places. It looks like they are using common sense....... news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2996It may say Torquay but observations and trends are from Plymouth. Its not that accurate either considering they kept forecasting afternoon snow for Torquay this week (Wednesday and Thursday), only to get the faintest of dustings Wednesday night... |

Can't remember the last game called off this early, but if the pitch is rock hard and if the sun shone until 3pm tomorrow and it it wouldn't thaw out and be safe, then fair enough.
Our man from down under is best placed to comment.

Best ask Darryl that one, I can remember the programmes being delivered for a Saturday fixture on the Friday once but that was a while ago! It varies and depends on workloads. The print normally finishes late Friday afternoon and the programmes are delivered on Saturday. Occasionally they have to finish off early Saturday morning and then deliver straight away, and occasionally but rarely the programmes are printed Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. No real answer as it does vary but they have a deadline to deliver by Saturday morning so work to that and when the actual print takes place depends on other work and deadlines. |

Well, as December draws to a close and only one game was played, the only 'ten points' any of us would've seen would be those shown by Greg Revels-Hardup as we had to endure another damn episode of 'Strictly Come Dancing' instead of having a post-match beer!!
