Match tomorrow could be in doubt according to rochdale website pitch cleared of snow but covers going back on tonight due to freezing temps And after reading the bbc weather site next weekends games could also be in doubt with further snow expected and temps down to minus 4

For the first time in a long time, I wouldn't complain if the game(s) is off.....

a blessing in disguise imo, with the injuries we have,gives us more time to be injury free....

Don't be too hopeful of a postponement. As somebody who has spent 5 hours moving the snow I know that the pitch is soft underneath and not affected by frost. But there is a lot of snow piled up around the pitch now and we need it to stay cold so that it doesn't melt.

I am 70% confident the game will go ahead. We were the only Div 2 game on 10 days ago (Saturday game that is) despite the sub zero temperatures. The frost covers seem to do their job.

Here's to a good game and you have had a great run recently (as we have). How many do you think will travel?

whats the weather like in Rochdale? we have had quite a bit of snow in Morecambe but most of it has gone now

We have had a lot of snow over the past 9 days . Still plenty around. But not had any today/yesterday. Pitch is now cleared after 3 days of fans clearing it.

Travel? Not so many if it's still £20 like last season. Times are hard, can't you just charge £13 like us??????????????

Agreed, it really gets on my wick that we charge £13 for away teams and we have to pay on average £18 to get into away games!!! I am however still tempted to travel down by the train tomorrow!!

you have to remember though that for the last 3 seasons ticket prices have not gone up so we are still charging people conference prices so don't be supprised if at the new ground you have to pay a bit more for match tickets
