Announced on Cambridge website but not ours.

If there is heavy snowfall overnight it will be brought forward.

I can't see it being on. Plus it's too cold, so the attendance will be awful!

Even if it's deemed to be fit when a pitch inspection takes place at 2 pm with the predicted temperature at kick-off at minus 3 deg C then it's highly unlikely that the ref will deem it playable. :?

The Ploppies game at Grimsby has already been called off.

Agree only can see the pitch freezing once the covers are removed, unless the players are fitted with hair dryers strapped to the legs, mind you the cables might be a trip hazzard.
