Further inspection tomorrow

I think that's the right call.

I'd argue that an early cancellation when the game could have been played is more costly, as revenue is lower on a Tuesday night, but I totally accept your point about inconvenience for the fans, especially travellers.

And the away team - if we had cancelled now, Cambridge wouldn’t have travelled. I thought I remembered a home team having to pay the away team’s travel expenses in the case of a late postponement, but then I am very old and my memory is shocking…

Basically no news and another inspection at lunchtime tomorrow. what a waste of time if trying to stop Cambridge having to travel down. makes absolutely zero sense.

It’s not ‘no news’, it’s ’we are hopeful it’ll be on cos we are reasonably confident that the milder forecast will improve the bits we are worried about’.

As boyo says, it seems the right call to me.

FFS - that is really helpful if travelling from Worcester which I am.

You remember correctly re away team expenses.
Now, about that tenner you promised me..........

I wonder how many won't bother travelling now?! I'm on the fence.

I wouldn't be happy if I was travelling long distance and there's still no clarity

I know it's not the most environmentally friendly / cheapest method but given it is always the section of pitch shadowed by the Doble Stand what about placing a marquee over the problem area and hiring in hot air heaters ?
We probably have a sponsor who can get their hands on them ?

 

[denzel]

Fair enough. Its a tough call either way, must be high confidence in the thaw else it would be off already.
Fans would have moaned whatever the outcome.

Same here.
