    Seriously, I think it’s pathetic if they can’t cope with a bit of frost

    I feel sorry for those that have booked hotels and travel. It's shocking because it's been cold all week. We haven't just woke up to it. A decision should have been made sooner. There will be fans that have set off early because it's a trek.

    Frustrating especially as we’re on a bit of a roll but what do you want Oxford to have done if they have no undersoil heating?

    What a pathetic situation. It should have been called off yesterday before the team had set off to the team hotel. Anyone with a brain could see it wouldn't be going ahead. They could see the forecast today and see it wasn't going to warm up. Why did they wait until fans had already woke up and in some cases set off to the match?

    Good point, England won’t be going through then.

    Because they've already said there were colder than expected temperatures overnight.

    In the old days they used to be about 2 foot of straw chucked onto the pitch. That would be cleared to the sidelines before kick off where it made a nice soft landing for any player charging towards the perimeter wall.

    Does it make a difference if it was -5 rather than the -2 which was predicted yesterday.

    as I said earlier this week. Their main stand will ensure the pitch does not get any sun.

    They could have a look at the old bandstand from Wombwell park which has been re-homed in Bicester.

    Yes, at -5 it takes longer to thaw than _2 , also thay had covers on so -2 they might have got away with it but we are all wiser after the event , I just feel sorry for the reds fans who have set off & sorry for our club who will have stumped up a lot of cash for nothing .
