Bang a key in the ground, everyone whack on some deep heat, have a kick about trying to hit the crossbar and have a chat about what happened at the pub last night, sneak a fag quickly and play the flipping game.

We Need Your Help!

Following Thursday's snow clearance story, we encountered further heavy snowfall last night (Thursday evening) resulting in the pitch and stadium areas being once again covered in snow.

With sub zero temperatures expected tonight (Friday) the decision has been made to leave the snow on the pitch until early Saturday morning as it will act as an insulation blanket until it is removed.

Gritting lorries will be deployed at the stadium and surrounding areas today and on Saturday morning to ensure spectator safety outside of the ground.

Now ... your football club needs YOU!

We need 300 volunteers to assist with clearing the snow from the pitch early on Saturday morning. Ideally, we would like volunteers to arrive, preferably with snow shovels, from 7am and report to reception. All volunteers need to be over the age of 18.

The procedure will be to clear the snow from the covers on the pitch, transport it outside of the stadium to a designated tipping area and allow the covers to be removed for a 10am pitch inspection by the match referee.

Chief Executive Bob Symns said: 'At the moment, the pitch beneath the covers is playable. Obviously we are all now waiting for the results of the overnight temperatures. We are doing everything we can to ensure this game will take place, but we really need your assistance to remove the snow first thing on Saturday morning.'

Tomorrow's game with Oxford United has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

An inspection of the Crown Ground surface by a local official appointed by the Football League this morning found that despite the covers being on the surface was unplayable.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “I’ve had a meeting with the head groundsman and other people who know more than me and they are confident the game will take place.

“The snow has helped the pitch cover protect the surface and as long as the temperature doesn’t drop below minus two I reckon we will be okay to play,

“We certainly want the game on.”
