Weather conditions for Friday and Saturday in Mansfield area don’t look good. There is a risk of sleet and snow for both days. Hope the clubs come to a right decision to cancel the game in time for supporters not to travel.

It’s snowed around here but it’s only been a very light dusting. I know it’s different further up North but I still think the match will go ahead. The weather report I listed to said snow will only accumulate on high ground

I hope you are right. I am looking forward to the trip.

I'm also due to go to this one on the supporters coach , I just hope they don't cancel it when I'm halfway there

Edit . Update . Yeah , I just read an article and indeed the country is expecting a load more snow . I reckon Saturday's game is now only 50/50.

Lot of snow here in S Wales and it's been snowing all morning. Forecast is for it all to be gone by tomorrow evening as a weather front moves northward and dumps a lot of snow in northern England, N Wales and S Scotland. hard to tell where Mansfield lies in that little lot. Seem to remember the cancelled game against Crewe in December sparked off a lean period for us. Please, not now!

OH MY GOD THERE'S SOME WEATHER IS OUR GAME IN X DAYS TIME GOING TO BE CALLED OFF?!?!?!!;

Mansfield Town have 10 players injured. I am sure they would prefer a postponement.

We couldn't beat Swindon with their injury problems but now would seem a good time to play Mansfield if they have that many injuries .

They had a load of injuries last Weekend but still won 3-1 at Wimbledon

Over the last 6 is 4-1-1
2nd place behind Sutton .

Don’t be fooled by that .With the team they have at the moment they have won 4out of 6. However Salford beat them 5-2 at Mansfield recently.

My point was not that they won`t have a decent team, but that they won`t mind a postponement.

-4 degrees predicted Friday night

Heavy snow Thursday
high of 2C Friday, -6C overnight
2C on Saturday

Its off.

Agree after looking at the BBC weather forecasts for Mansfield

Some Mansfield webcams for you, in case you think the game might be on

Yes , going by those photos it doesn’t look too good for Saturday’s game.

Only Mans

It's off.

Will be interesting to see when the rearrangement will be. Mansfield play midweek during the following 2 weeks. So it’s 28/29 March (meaning Mansfield play 4 home games in 15 days) or kicked back to the end of April.

It's not that bad , it's just over reaction by the media, but I do feel foolish with 2 months extra supplies in.

Not sounding likely to be on. Pity as Mansfield currently have so many injuries, but by we do get to play them promotion may have been guaranteed.
On a selfish note - the match will be streamed to Wales!
