Just wondering with the bad weather due this weekend and heavy snow predicted around Birmingham could the game be called off and how much warning will the fans get.
 
more notice if its frozen over night, less notice if it starts snowing at 1pm...

BUT we won in the snow at Port Vale, when they were about the call it off till we all turned up.....so lets hope we have another Mark Jones type winner in the snow !

Blimey, that's going back a bit, was it the re-election season? I only thought he scored once, the famous MOTD goal at Hull.

yes they were top, we were bottom 2..... Ref was about to call it off when our coaches turned up and the Police told him to play it !

He scored with a 25 yarder (in my memory bank at least !)

I was on a coach that day, all the way there we were convinced we’d wasted our time. Refs were made of sterner stuff in those days!

We stood near the front on that big old terrace they used to have, a big mistake as those stood at the back saw us as prime targets for their snowballs with surprises in them.

I remember that game - listened to reports on R.L. (No commentary in them days) - 1 nil up and hanging on - nerves got the better so waited for the old teleprinter on bbc - big relief

My info was the ref was told he had to play it by the police.

We were moved into the stand at the far end....

THE Burton Albion ground staff are working hard to ensure the Pirelli Stadium pitch is playable for tomorrow’s game against Preston North End (3.00pm).

Ground sheets have been on the pitch over night which protects the surface from snow and frost, and there is no heavy snow forecast between now and kick off tomorrow.

The pitch is in good condition ahead of tomorrow’s Sky Bet Championship clash, and the club is confident the game will go ahead.
