No.

It was forecast -5, it turned out to be -5.

The Anchor Ground and most of Darwen is in a valley and is quite low down.

If you set off now you'll make the Kick Off

Whilst the DALR is 1º for every 500ft in altitude, thus meaning its colder higher up, this does not count overnight under a stagnant pool of cold air.

Although valleys are generally warmer due to lower elevation, hence rain in the valley bottom and snow on the tops in a marginal situation, under still cold air, valley bottoms are 99% of the time colder than higher up, overnight. Valley bottoms record colder minimums. Why? Because of katabatic cooling.

Cold air sinks to valley bottoms.

Darwen in a valley bottom will have been colder than much of the surrounding area last night.

For God's sake, how come there is only you from your entire fanbase taking so much umbrage from the fact this game is off? Ok, Bury's game is on but it's one of only 3 league 2 fixtures which has survived the weather - doesn't that tell you something?
Blackpool is about the same distance away from us as Bury - their game is also off and the coast is usually about 5 degrees warmer at any given time, the fact that one club relatively near to us have their game on is irrelevant - ours is OFF - live with it!
Or do you really have nothing better to do with your afternoon than come on here arguing the toss? Grow up!

fatgaz182 · 10-01-2009, 12:59

Is that you Micheal Fish?:?

There isn't any air around the Anchor Ground, due to the fact its hemmed in by the motorway and crown paints.

Its contantly 19degrees centagrade because of the pollution don't thee know?????

Well no I don't actually have anything better to do with my afternoon, the wife is at work and theres no football to listen to.

Anyway, rant over. even if you had covered the whole pitch, it might not have survived -5 anyway.

Thanks for the common sense answer Quakerz! We are all annoyed its off but it is, just watch Soccer Saturday, its a great laugh and will help us through the day!!!

See you(hopefully) when its re-arranged,and I will buy you a pint in The Crown to make up for today.

fatgaz182 · 10-01-2009, 13:18

OFF OFF OFF

Only Bury & Halifax survived!!

:-(

Redraine · 10-01-2009, 13:24

Usual scenario will apply though, as the pitch will be perfectly playable by 3.00 pm with the thawing wind!

VALAIRIAN · 10-01-2009, 13:33

Fulham off!! Thats 2 Premier League matches off

If Bury required a pitch inspection it must have been iffy. Having had the ground exposed for a few hours and below freezing outside wonder if they will actually finish the game ?
