Whats the weather situation in the area? I am in East Sussex and here it is fine, no snow just cold, Very heavy rain for most of yesterday turning to snow later but all gone by this morning. So it may be a visit to Eastbourne Boroughs 4G tomorrow.

Snowed quite a lot this morning but has melted rapidly. Any threat to this game is unlikley to come from snow however the temperature is going to dip below freezing overnight and will only reach 3 degrees by KO, so it depends if that's warm enough to thaw the pitch.

My phone app is predicting 6C tomorrow. Hope the pitch is ok.

Pitch inspection at 9.30, seems a bit early, it's pretty much freezing throughout the night, so that's not a lot of time for it to thaw, I'm going to guess it'll be off.

Maybe a water logging issue rather than a freezing issue.

It's a very light frost this morning so I guess it will be down to water on the pitch if anything.

Kidsgrove have had some very tough fixtures lately. Shaw Lane 1-2, Leek drew and Spalding drew so expect another draw today ..if game goes ahead

It's a home match, we expect a draw

Match ON.
