Re: Exeter on Tuesday
There will be a pitch inspection at The Progression Solicitors Stadium at 12noon today ahead of this evening’s Sky Bet League Two game against Exeter City (7pm kick-off).
The Club has taken all precautions in the build-up to the game and covered the pitch in an attempt to protect it from plummeting overnight temperatures.
Bluebirds officials have been in constant communication with Exeter City and the EFL throughout and it has now been agreed that a pitch inspection will take place at 12noon.
We’ll have full details here as soon as the pitch inspection has been concluded.

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
Hopefully ok. Frost covers on before any frost on the pitch and it didn't drop that low last night!
Re: Exeter on Tuesday
If the frost covers are coming off at 2, the temperature is forecasted to drop below freezing at 5, it will be touch and go I'd suspect.
Popular side since '03.

it looks like Connor Brown isn't in the 22 man squad - can't see the club having him do a hard run the morning of a match if he had any chance of being in the 17 tonight...

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
Even if it`s just a small area that`s frozen the ref will call it off, can`t see the club/ match officials taking a chance on this because of the cost it would involve for exeter plus what if they travel up here and as Ian stated it`s freezing when the covers come off !

All opinions expressed are my own , not here to cause kick off just enact debate.

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
It was only a couple of weeks ago that some members were slated for suggesting the covers were put on the pitch...

They won`t be happy then if it`s called off!
Re: Exeter on Tuesday
Carlisle game just called off for frozen pitch. Whats it like in Barrow?
Re: Exeter on Tuesday
Whether they'll be happy or not doesn't matter a sh!te. They will just have to get on with it like every f****r else has to.

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
The club has kept them informed all along. If they hadn't set off by now it would be worse than the Dover debacle. They'll be parked at Hilton Park services waiting on a call.
Don't let the old man in.

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
Looks like Exeter will have to make the full journey. Got to feel sorry for players and staff in situations like these.saltcellar wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 12:40 pm BREAKING: Work is continuing on the pitch to do everything possible to get this evening's game on and there is now a further inspection planned for 4pm.

Re: Exeter on Tuesday
And also what 'work' can be done to a frozen pitch? .. Keep refilling the kettle?
