    What do you reckon?

    The snow here in Wakefield is pretty bad, and it's been called a 'light shower' by the MetOffice. God knows what the 'heavy showers' predicted for later are going to be like...

    not so

    <font size="3"><font face="Calibri">No pitch inspection planned </font></font></p>

    <font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Posted on: Mon 02 Feb 2009 </font></font></p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Despite considerable snowfall overnight and into Monday morning, Sheffield Wednesday's match against Barnsley on Tuesday evening (7.45pm kick-off) is not under threat at present. </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Following Saturday evening's match with Birmingham City, the club's undersoil heating was utilised and while some snow is currently (Monday morning) on the surface of the pitch the turf underneath remains soft.

    <font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Sheffield Wednesday is confident that if the weather unfolds as forecast by the Met Office up until Tuesday evening's fixture then the match should not be affected either in relation to the state of the pitch or within the stadium. </font></font></p></font></font><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Stadium operations manager, John Rutherford, said: &quot;We have been monitoring the weather forecast for more than a week with regard to this fixture and the undersoil heating was switched on after the game against Birmingham City. </font></font><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">&quot;Unless we get an unforeseen level of snowfall in the next 24 hours or so the pitch and the stadium surrounds will be in good shape to host this game. The only reason the match could be in danger at this point is if South Yorkshire police tell us that it is not safe for people to travel to the match.&quot; </font></font><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Sheffield Wednesday will be monitoring this situation closely and any developments will be announced on the official website as necessary.</font></p>

    Live 2 miles from the sty

    About 4-5 inches of snow.

    Think the issue will be that they need to test the undersoil heating well ahead of kick off (as it failed vs Cov last year). That would mean clearing the snow early, possibly today, with the possibility of having to do it again later tomorrow.

    I'd think the game was 50-50

    More than 5 inches and it will be over my head. Do the police consider such matters ? I think not.

    And what of R.Tiv ? I've already lost sight of him poor lad.

    It's alright Ali, I have just found the pair of them in the cupboard under the stairs. Julian is listening to R.Tiv play his wretched french horn. He can put up with it better than me !

    They are surely scared of heating up the pitch TOO much.

    In case of the possibility of a Pig Roast.
