Is the game under threat at Whitehaven? : Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:00 am  

With the arctic conditions around most of the north of England and seeing that Sellafield was closed on the news today what are the chances the game will be on this Sunday and will we get plenty of notice before setting off?

It's jeans and tshirt weather. I'm wearing mine under a pair of tracky bottoms and four jumpers.

Word from Whitehaven, their ground is clear of snow and playable. Neil Arber is still intending to leave the Shay at 10am, so start digging yourselves out and get up to support the mighty Fax.

Very strange when it snows here we usually get it big style,yesterday 12 miles south down the coast there were blizzards ,cars stuck in snow drifts and the main A595 closed from muncster.To the north at wigton similar story.We got nothing no snow laying at all it was not normal that's for sure.Barring a server frost tonight(not forecast)then I'd say game will go ahead no problem

Well I had booked just outside Penrith for the weekend from Fri to Mon.
All planned nice drive up Friday and settle in, have a meal on Sat.
Into Keswick Sun morning and up to the game in the afternoon.
Nice drive back to Greystokes afterwords and a pint and overnight stay with a steady return Monday.

Guess what didn't even get of the street and down the hill because of the white stuff.
As you say it depends on were you are with the dam stuff.

If the game is on I hope everyone makes it safely.

Does anyone have a radio link for this game?
