Got to be better than staying at home and being made to something else or worse dragged "kicking and screaming" shopping again.

    Visit the Ernie Moss finishing school. It's where Killer used to teach him how to !
  • and if any of you fancy staying over, there's a few of us that have non-refundable digs booked.

    Could stop off at Leicester and go watch them...only trouble is that they are playing Cardiff.

    Only ever been there once, for the Chesterfield by-election 28 years ago, when I stayed for five days.

    Not the liveliest place in the world,but a nice town and very hospitable people - and they elected Tony Benn in the by-election, so I liked them even more.

    The local girls are especially friendly and I had to fight them off. (I know that's hard to believe but it happened. Honestly. Not just once, but every single bloody night).

    I'd like to believe it was my animal magnetism. But it is more likely that bcause the Chesterfield ladies are not only good-looking but extremely smart, they swiftly realised I was there on a fairly generous expense account.

    Having fought off the women, I found the walking in the area was excellent, through the Rother valley and along the old canal tow path.

    I suppose I must have always been a sad case. I was only 30 at the time, but I dismissed the local talent trying to feel up my expense account and went for bracing walks instead.

    Is it settling ? Do you think the game will go ahead ?

    We've moved through rain (3pm), sleet (5pm) and now intermittent snow. It started to settle but the snow has almost stopped now. I'm just over a mile from the ground. I'm hopeful at the moment, yes.

    Like you say the overnight temperatures are the killer & some weather sites are forecasting -7 for Friday night & still at -6 at 9am Saturday. I reckon there's a 10% chance of the game going ahead & that's if the weather forecast changes for the better.
  • If it is -7 tomorrow night then I cannot see the game going ahead.

    Only the blue half

    Snowing quite heavily in Bexley and very cold when out side the pub, so we probably would not have had a home game.
  • Anyone going up on their train tickets if it's called off tomorrow is a nutter!

    I will be in bed with god knows how much to the charity of East Midlands Trains' choice in the bin!
  • Can't see the game being called off tomorrow.

    It's a bumper meeting on the all weather and as we are all middle class we don't bother with it.

    We're all waiting for Cheltenham.
  • Is Kempton for the working people? Cheltenham's more my thing too to be fair.

    Don't want it off as I've been looking forward to it for ages but I'd rather it was off tomorrow than midday Saturday. So if it's going please let it go with a bang tomorrow!

    Bloody weather, meant to be going away early hours on Sunday it's all going to pot!
