Hi, I work for the agency that supplies the car park marshalls for the Richard Dunns car park on match days. I've just received a call from my contact at Richard Dunns to tell me not to send the guys in today as they're not using the car park as the snow is too deep and it's highly likely they'll be accidents. He did say he's informed the Bulls and they've said they are still expecting the game to go ahead.
Just thought you'd all like to know in case any of you were relying on being able to park there.
Thanks

Cheers for the heads up fella

The pitch is playable.

The problem is the car park and stadium access.

I know I am old and so my memory may not be what it was, but in the 'old days' if the pitch was fit then the match was on. I know we didn't have H&S but I am not aware of people around me falling down continously and breaking limbs willy nilly (not sure where your willy nilly is but I'm sure you can break it).

Agree mate.

It'll be H&S that calls this game off.

Really home the game goes ahead, as long as people are sensible with their footwear the terraces should be ok!

Doesn't the ref have final say regarding state of the pitch?

Good two - three inches in Wilsden now Forecast is for rain later, which means the whole place will be like a skating rink come morning

According to the bulls website they are not planning a pitch inspection. We can only conclude from that that that the pitch isn't an issue, so it must be terraces and access they are working on.

You've got six hours, get walking.

I didn't sign up for treks through snow for "summer rugby"

...and I'll think I'll wait for the pitch inspection before I put my walking boots on, but that only leaves me 2 and half hours to walk the 30 miles....

So James Child will be stood on Rooley Ave assesing the conditions at 12.30pm. Does anyone know if the Stobart lorries are in attendance at the game?
