Probably the easiest game of a busy few weeks so would hope we end up walking away with the 3 points.

Fancy Harris to continue his goalscoring form, 2-0 to Oxford

EDIT: And it’s postponed

It was the -6 wednesday night and the -5 Thursday night that caused the game to be called off. Covers only work to a max of -4 and the grow lamps are to help the grass grow not thaw out the pitch. Heat rises remember.

It’s the only certain way of determining this.

If I’m incorrect, I’ll pay the petrol/hotel room/helicopter hire costs of everyone set to attend today’s game.

Where do we post our claims too?

Go and stand on the pitch, then run and slide on your knees and see how you feel after!

Sounds like your stuck in the 50’s

Pleased to see all of the Medical Experts on here are now switching hats to the ones marked Weather And Pitch Maintenance Experts.

If the players have been able to train all week in these conditions, why can't they play today?

f*****g pussy officials these days, players can't tackle, can't answer back or complain, and now they're not allowed to play when it's a little bit cold and the ground is a bit hard.

Wimps.

Annoying as this was the only game I was able to get to for the remainder of the season and I was taking my young grandsons.

I guess I need to call the ticket office to get a refund?

If we had a bit of an outlier cold winter we would be fucked, call off games that would never have been called off even twenty years ago,

Slide on the artificial pitch at Oxford City on your knees at any time of the year and see how you feel, they play in that all season.

I’m looking forward to all the usual suspects on social media blaming the club for todays postponement
