Any news as to whether the game is likely to be on?

Not in the programme, no. Oh I see - sorry.

I haven't seen the pitch, but I can give a weather report for Penydarren. The light snow we had last night has all washed away. None is forecast for tomorrow, so I imagine it depends on how bad the frost is tonight and whether it lasts through until tomorrow night (when a more severe frost is forecast).

I have prayed to the sun god ra....and I expect the game to be on....to continue our rich vein of form...three goals at home in one game...last time...has transfused me....is it too much to expect three more tomorrow on the penydarren rink? Perhaps we could cover the pitch in ready brek ....anything to get three more points and a midweek game with working floodlights....boz

JUST LOOKED OUT OF WINDOW AND IT IS SNOWING LIKE HELL

Yes - so much for the weather forecast. Not looking good for the match at the moment unless it turns to rain in the morning.

More snow tonight down the valley and some black ice on the roads. I wouldn't think the game is likely to be on even though the forecast is for a bright morning. We will have to see......

Damn those unreliable Egyptian gods...that's the last time I pray to them...better go back the cult of Mithras...those roman deities much more reliable...last time they helped save our penydarren park ground from redevelopment...it comes to something when the weathermen get it right and Amun ra....gets it wrong....shame I won't get to hear the dregs firm choir sing out from the theatre end...never mind the Horus let me hear the chorus.....theres always martyrs tv....lets hope it gives time for old injuries to heal...boz
