Do people still go dogging even in this weather?

Not unless they want it to be inverted

[Ricketts]

I remember the good old days at Highfield Road, when they would ask for fans to turn up with shovels to clear snow off the pitch to get the game on, in return for free entry

The still do now, but only applies to season ticket holders.

They provide shovels for the season ticket holders. The plebs have to bring their own.

Just about to dig the car out - we is coming Aston Villa off - shame

 

[higgs]

The snow has made the grass grow!

Pitch much better when the rugby is kept off it

It's always puzzled me as to why we allow rugby to be played on it.

Your right we should put a stop to it let the rugby players buzz off

I thought it was on? Are we now waiting for confirmation?

Looks to me like they are trying to get it called off.

The vomitires will surely have been done. Easy enough job isn't it.

Would have thought the only problem (though minor) would be outside getting in.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

What's it like around the Ricoh? Anyone.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Will find out when I go out in an hour or so.

iFollow in the warm it is for everybody today

I'm currently making the drive or stay in the warm and watch iFollow decision. I'm based in Walsall and the roads here are worse than I expected this morning.

I would tell you, but I have no idea what a vomitire is.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

If it's not snowing in Cov now and there's no forecast of it. Then surely whats already fallen can be cleared.

No snow coming down at the minute so should be OK to clear.

Just watch out for the people pouring water on the path and hiding with a camera.

 

[steve82]

Looks like we will know by 10am at the latest.

Hoping they cancel, the lads in bed suffering with my flu from last week. He'd be gutted if it goes ahead.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Wolves and villa games are off.

 

[wingy]

If this gets called off it will be from the Lincoln end IMO.

 

[stevefloyd]

Getting to the main road will probably be part of the problem Nick. Even I’m thinking my car isn’t going anywhere in this today! My car was shit in the snow last time round, not sure why today will be any different

Is that shit in the snow or shot?

 

[Nick]

If this gets called off it will be from the Lincoln end IMO.

Do they have much say if the game is playable?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

They should have left already giving themselves plenty of time.

 

[Nick]

Not sure if this has been posted already or not?

 

[Otis]

I've always just pretended that I know.

A place to vomit? Just cordon them off whatever they are

 

[stevefloyd]

Did they clear the vomit jobbies?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Il be gutted if this is postponed. But also I think they got to take into consideration that 50% of the fans from Lincoln who bought tickets for tiday won't be able to make it to the midweek game. Unfair for them. Would they be able to get a refund?

Just going off that last tweet.
The issues they raise in that have been overcome before and surely they've been informed of that.
I don't see why they've sown a seed of doubt to their own fans who have a long way to come and need to get going.
Another half hour to hour delay is unhelpful.

I thought it was a bit random too, everything from CCFC has been that its going to be on dont worry but now Lincoln are saying that. It's as if they don't want it to be on.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Coaches would have left around 10 ish surely?

 

[higgs]

The burgers aren't that bad in the Ricoh are they?

Yeah, makes you wonder.

I think the home end will be a lot more sparse than usual too, can see many not even chancing driving or walking up to the Ricoh.

 

[jordan210]

Looks like quite a lot of Lincoln fans have already left.

Club should start asking for volunteers and just clear as much as possible.

 

[Nick]

Have to remember it's legends day as well, so many of them will have made arrangements, flown over, got hotels etc etc. Another reason why CCFC wont want it to be called off.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Another question. Do ccfc get 100% of revenue from fan zone food and beverage or are these stalls vans wasps.

Don't think it's been said.

No idea if the stalls are the same ones from Wasps too, somebody who has been to both might know?
