Aston Villa vs Queens Park Rangers Pre-Match Thread [POSTPONED]

[Bad English]

Following on from the amusingly-named Scottish gritter website, I suggest they call the one doing the roads in B6 'Gritton Lane' or 'Gritty Aintgonnathaw'.

Just had an email from King Edwards PA - their car park won't be opening tomorrow due to the condition of the car park and surrounding roads.  Think I'll give it a miss tomorrow - I'm now hoping it will be postponed

What is the weather like? Have you had much snow? You're forecast more but will it amount to much?

[GarTomas]

OT but talk of game being postponed to get players fit had me thinking if Wolves game is postponed would Neves then finish his suspension by sitting out our game?

Me too, think that's made my decision easier

I work in Aston and there's not been any snow since I got up.  There is some forecast for later this afternoon on the BBC website, but it seems to be mainly light snow with a couple of heavy showers.  Main roads were fine this morning, if a bit slushy, so I guess they've cleared up a bit now as well.

My wolves workmate says he missed Fulhams game and they also play Leeds Tuesday.  So no

The Blackburn away league in the league cup semi final got postponed in 2010 IIRC. That was probably the worst winter I can remember for a while

SOTC and I had both booked the day off work and were going with the official coaches - we had to go to the pub instead so day wasn’t wasted & then book a second day off for the replay.

It has started again now, it is the drifting that was the issue earlier. Our road for instance has my side fairly clear while those opposite were digging their cars out this morning. I was held up for 20 minutes earlier as a gritting truck had got stuck on a hill.

The local rag says that a lot of clearance work has already gone at the ground and that unless there was significant further snow it would go ahead.

[Brassneck]

Cardiff's game is off so that eases the blow a little. At least we aren't exposed to the prospect of going further behind them is our game is off.

I've just watched a car on my estate spend ten minutes trying to get up a tiny incline and failing miserably. I can't see any way they can expect thirty-odd thousand people to turn up to Villa Park in exactly twenty-four hours' time.

[Brend'Watkins]

The snow that came yesterday was the powdery stuff which blew away in the wind.  What's coming down now is the sticky stuff and the previously cleared roads now have snow which isn't going away and is being compacted by any traffic.

Where are you Bren? North Brum as per your H&V location?

Yep.  4 miles from the ground
