Bradford Bulls v Hull Kingston Rovers - INC LIVE SCORES : Sun Feb 08, 2009 8:09 pm  

Lets all hope that this game makes the snow, as more is due to drop from Tuesday onwards.

I doubt for one minute that this game will take place, going by what the BBC weather forcast says but here goes any how.

Bradford Bulls 34 - Hull Kingston Rovers 20

Attendance 11,678

It's snowing on and off here in Brighouse, but an inch or two have fallen already.

With last weeks snow to add to that, the Odsal steps will be a nightmare.

I feel that the game won't make it just for that fact.

Friday night it's non stop snow, which will just top up what is already on the ground.

Silly question but has anyone been to Odsal in the past 48 hours?

I have faith in the Bulls! And with this weeks game being cancelled they will do everything possible to avoid a fixture list headache.

Do the club own any covers.. I had a feeling they didn't, which could be a problem.

Did they get rid of the ones that were bought in the late 80's early 90', or were they just borrowed?

Not 100% sure about that, maybe we could ask Leeds to borrow there covers?

Could it be switched to Valley Parade, to avoid it being cancelled

Remember a match v Leeds in 93 moving to VP and one in 95-96 moving mcalpine cos of frozen pitches

Yes I have it's in a bad way there looks to be good 4 inch of snow on the pitch and the terracing is bad.

If Odsal faals to the weather it's just as likely VP will too.
