That's nowt a tiny bit of cold and a sprinkling of snow!
When I were a lad they used to play footie in 6 foot high snow drifts, we used to walk 20 miles in a pair of old clogs and only had a tatty old pair of shorts a grotty old coat and me trusty old flat cap. It were that cold you had to break the ice off the top of your cup of Bovril at half time. Modern day namby pamby's with their gloves and thermals on. By heck it were tough in the old days!

Don't forget the ball weighed a good half a tonne and still had blood on it from the cows bladder.

1972 4-2 win v Crewe on packed down snow. Diesel froze in buses and had to walk home.

A rock hard pitch with some players wearing training shoes. Wouldn't be played today.

I remember watching that game on tv at the time! Gianluca had such a fun night, right up inside the Arctic Circle. Brilliant.

What's the chances of the game being called off? Do we have a heated pitch now? I can't remember.
Or maybe the polis might call things off if there's a chance of somebody slipping over ?
When might we know one way or another as I have a Welsh mountain to drive drown then the pennines to ascend and descend before reaching Lincoln (And then same trip in reverse and in the dark)

Check the forecast. Last I looked, 50% chance of snow during the game.

That's the hoofball option off the table, then. It'll end up in Sincil Drain.....
Is that the Big Narstie?

It's saying sleety rain from 3-6. Hope that doesn't reach row S in Senility. Can't be doing with my hair looking any whiter.
