My Dad is one of the lads that helped clear the snow this morning - he said they cleared all around the pitch, the steps leading up the VP area etc, and that Gallagher was down there with a digger doing the car park, and moving the snow away from the ground. Apparently, John Harvey, Bill and Terry were using plastic things to move snow off the pitch but they need to see what reaction the pitch has before removing anymore... fingers crossed for warmer weather to help thaw it. Finally, a big well done to all who helped out To be fair, he doesn't have to work anymore, so your mum probably wanted him out of the house ;D

Just back from the ground.
All area`s around the pitch have been cleared of snow.The carpark has been cleared and gritted.The road and pathway leading down to the ground have also been gritted.
We cleared an area of the pitch to allow the sit on machine thingy m`bob to brush some snow away, but this was left until tomorrow.There is 2 inches of snow on the pitch.
Well done to everybody who came down including the Gallagher team.

All joking aside, well done to all those that help shift the snow today, well done lets hope the game can go ahead. Ok, it's time to start the return leg of my 80 mile daily round trip, I wonder what the QE2 bridge is like tonight? Nadine, shame on you; no custard creams!

Tell you what's great - not only an extra 1400 Stones fans, but also a significant extra who want to do more than just turn up for a game, ie they care about the club and want to put something back in. I don't go to anything like the number of games I used to, but am as immensely proud of the club and the people it attracts (new and old) as ever.
