That was with an afternoon kickoff though. And it's oop north so I assume the locals are used to walking through snow in their clogs to fetch a lump of coal etcDA9 said:

As the show is more for the early part of the day, that should give enough time to clear the pavements around the ground?se9addick said:
Isn't it often the areas around the ground (or the stands themselves) that are considered dangerous which leads to matches being called off ?killerandflash said:I'm sure the ground will be fine, I'd be very surprised if that was an issue.

The way we are playing at the moment, I imagine Wigan will be desperate to get the game on...3 -
Well they have one less meal to serve in the directors lounge now....

We had a boiler, but now she’s quit.JamesSeed said:I’m positive they’ll have undersoil heating. With a boiler and everything.

More grit than we've shown on the pitch for a while.AddickFC81 said:C_Jensens_Love_Child said:Travelling down, got hotel booked so hoping it will be on. Its meant to change to rain in afternoon with temp of about 5 so I don't see it being a problem.
Yes Wigan have undersoil heating and rain can melt snow and it say 5 degrees. There is not a lot of snow forecast and it should be straight forward enough to grit up around the stadium and surrounding areas so hopefully it should not be too much of a problem.DA9 said:

They’ve shown a few - normally on international weekends when there’s no Championship gamesBigRedEvil said:Have Sky shown any L1 games this season?

The Fanackapans will be driving up tomorrow morning, meeting Marilyn & Oli , travelling by train and all staying at the Premier Inn.
BBC forecast indicates snow on higher ground is a possibility but cloudy & dry come late afternoon/evening with temps around 4-5 degrees.
SO looking forward to this now whether we get anything from the game or not.2 -
Going and staying in HI Express in between visiting relatives in North Wales and Lancashire. Looking forward to it a bit more now!0

Suggest anybody driving up leaves extra time. We came North yesterday and took about hour and half longer than usual.0

Yes more worried about the journey up (I'm on the train to Manchester tomorrow morning) than the actual game not going aheadredman said:Suggest anybody driving up leaves extra time. We came North yesterday and took about hour and half longer than usual.

Such a grim day outside - so befitting of the fixture0

I’m an hour south of wigan and no snow here either0

I'd be more worried about travelling to the game than Wigan itself. I'm in West Yorkshire and it snowed overnight and settled and it's been snowing for about three hours now non-stop. I am meant to be going, dad coming up from the south, but we're considering not going.0

No snow at Manchester Airport unlike Leeds and Bradford near where you are mate which is higher ground but you should be ok on the motorway network.The Red Robin said:I'd be more worried about travelling to the game than Wigan itself.

Very light covering of snow in the Midlands but nothing significant0

On the 3:07 to Liverpool with father and son and very much looking forward to the trip so hope there are no problems with the game going ahead.
Have absolutely no expectations for the game but will be enjoying myself whatever.1 -
A tad early aren't you - it doesn't leave for another 3 hours. Were you afraid that the players had reserved all the good seats ????HandG said:On the 3:07 to Liverpool with father and son and very much looking forward to the trip so hope there are no problems with the game going ahead.

No its been moved to aid player recovery and avoid congestion like what Gillingham will have to deal withuie2 said:Is the Wigan game live on Sky then?

On train down from Glasgow after a little bit of concern with previous delays. Here's hoping for the 0-3 Last time we played them on a Friday night but would bite hands off for a bore draw.0

Ok after a 6 hour car journey, finally made it here, no snow in sight, here’s hoping plenty of support songs and songs thanking Katren are rolled out tonight.0
