Maybe our cold is the wrong kind of cold?

The wind chill factor produced a minus 34.5 degrees Celsius environment for the Chiefs and Dolphins to play in last Saturday.

10 people were hospitalised with frostbite or / and hypothermia during the Kansas Chiefs v Miami Dolphins NFL playoff game last weekend.

Manure.
Generates heat.

Tent the affected area and use industrial LPG heaters/blowers on the morning of the match?

Or, ask us all to donate our electric blankets and lay them down?

Narrow the pitch a metre cutting out the ‘frozen’ area?

Or, fit those ice grip devices that you see in SAGA type sales catalogues to the players boots and don them in head guards.

Or, settle the game on the PlayStation or Xbox… lol.

Is pushing fixtures of this ilk back 24 hours akin to reordering jupiters moons?

That will have ruined a lot of people’s weekends.
Gutted that it’s off.
A big financial hit for the club.
Who was the L3 ref who made the decision?

Rearranged game on a Tuesday night won’t attract an equivalent crowd. Tamworth won’t bring 500+ and the match will be streamed.

Absolutely. A Tuesday night game would probably see a 1,000 less through the Turnstiles.

Any news yet?

[Rene Artois]

Play.
What time is the PI?

[Rene Artois]

Yeah, that’s the problem with these tight grounds, certain areas often never see the sun at certain times of the year.
I really hope it’s on. We need to play the new champions elect (see betting odds) and give them ‘a jolly good thrashing’.

Most fans are appreciative of an early pitch inspection some will be coming on the train like we do so earlier the better for them. I hope the game is called off so when we do play Whitehàll and Butterfield will hopefully be available, better a night game at home anyway the atmosphere ramps up.

Think of all that lovely lolly in the tills. 600 or so away supporters.
A fist full of dollars is better than two in the bush.
Get it played.
Men or mice?

[Rene Artois]

Positive temperatures tonight and a sweltering 7 degrees at kick off time tomorrow.
They be muppets to call it off.

[Rene Artois]

Has the anticipation factor of being a ‘proper’ game!

They’ve sold 500 tickets already.
Looks as if they will number 600-700.

I see Finn is the divisional player of the month.

[Rene Artois]

Tomorrow.
Air attack warning, sounds like…

[Rene Artois]

DA Capital have a David Anderson…
Lives in Scotland, it looks like.
At first glance, I thought WHAM was on tour.

[Rene Artois]

DA Capital currently own the club.

Results to be expunged next week.

Sad.
They ought to get a just giving / go fund me / crowdfunding appeal set up.
They maybe surprised by the level of support that will no doubt exist out there?

Walsall have had a bid accepted for highly rated Tamworth midfielder Jamie Jellis.

Hopefully he goes before Saturday.

Looks a decent player in the clips that I’ve seen of him.

[Rene Artois]

Just in time for the festival.

[Rene Artois]

I’m sure we all thought that she’d bring Louise back.
Who’s next… David Brent?

That should have said David Beeby… maybe the machine knows best?

It is not about clean sheets etc’ it more dependant on present form’ Tamworth are on a hell of a run of winning games, whilst Scunny have recorded one pouint fr5om their past two games’ added to the fact that Butterworth and Whitehall are abcent, and Smith now back to Scotland, we have 3 of our main players out on Saturday, added to that is their replacements are not stepping up to the form that is needed, I can see poor results on Sat and at Blyth on Tues.

SCUNTHORPE 0 TAMWORTH 2 AQTTENDANCE BEING 4,897

7 wins on the bounce – 4 clean sheets in that sequence. Only conceded 1 goal in each of the other 3 games.

But… you are correct about us.

The question I ask myself is… who would score for us in the game? I can’t see us scoring.

[Rene Artois]

Billy Hills current odds for the game:

Iron Evs
Draw 12/5
Lambs 21/10

As ever, 1-1 is the shortest priced scorecast at 5/1

The 0-2 that I’ve tipped is 16/1

1-3 is 25/1, so I’ll throw £4 on that, just in case.

1-0 to Scunny is 7/1
2-1 to Scunny is 15/2

Just saying like.

I’ve tried using a VPN and also setting up a decoy GPS location – all to no avail, I’ve still not being able to get the 3pm kick offs which clash with the Premier League.

The fascist, oligarchic Premier League dictating to their non-members of the EFL and NL raises the question of whether we actually live in a ‘free’ country?

With the amazing technology around in 2024 it’s giving the PL the imagery of being the Premier Luddites.

You can’t beat attending a live game; however, for many people this is not possible, for various reasons – geographic, age, weather, illness, hospitalisation, disability etc.

It makes no sense to deny people access to what could be one of the highlights of their week.

It’s also restricting the revenue streams of smaller clubs.

Liverpool v Man City or Scunthorpe v Tamworth … if I was given a free ticket for both games, I’d be donating the Anfield ticket to charity.

This restrictive practice needs ending.

All stitched up, innit?
As archaic as the FA (est 1863)… Fleet Street Flunkeys (est 1868).

[Rene Artois]

I should have continued the ‘chat’ in the Tamworth thread.

[Rene Artois]

To some it will, as they will be prevented from watching the top of the table clash of the titans.

Arsenal v Crystal Palace… no thanks.
