No sign of any news on the Bulls site or Google news search. Presume we are going ahead, maybe with partially closed terraces.

Hull vs Wire is on.

http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/5629/BULLS%20CONFIDENT Game on at the moment, update at 11. "Bradford Bulls are confident that this afternoon's game against Catalans Dragons at Odsal will go ahead as planned. Bulls staff are at the moment clearing snow off the covers and no pitch inspection is planned. A further update will be issued at 11.00." Either way doubt I'll make it looking at my road here (nowhere near Odsal or Bradford) doubt I'd even get to the bottom of my road, nevermind the M62 or Odsal.

It's good we're playing Catalans because it means they just have to clear the Rooley end and close of the pop side.

The snow on top of the covers will have helped insulate the pitch against any frost and with the thermometer pushing up to a balmy 3 or 4 degrees by dinner time the roads will be alright.

Just stick a coat and some gloves on.

Here we go for 2012 #COYB

..except they were flying into Manchester...

Doesn't the ref have final say regarding state of the pitch?

Good two - three inches in Wilsden now Forecast is for rain later, which means the whole place will be like a skating rink come morning

That's the risk you take when you live in the middle of nowhere

As someone said above, the Bulls are making another announcement at 11. If you can wait until then and still have enough time to make it, I'd hang fire mate.

Hi, I work for the agency that supplies the car park marshalls for the Richard Dunns car park on match days. I've just received a call from my contact at Richard Dunns to tell me not to send the guys in today as they're not using the car park as the snow is too deep and it's highly likely they'll be accidents. He did say he's informed the Bulls and they've said they are still expecting the game to go ahead.
Just thought you'd all like to know in case any of you were relying on being able to park there.
Thanks
