If it's windy or cloudy we might be in luck as frost finds it hard to establish in a breeze or under cloud, even in temperatures a few degrees below.
If it's still and clear, obviously we're fucked.

Gloucester are setting off this afternoon and staying overnight, so I would have thought we'd be able to give the game every chance tomorrow

They're part time aren't they? How can they afford to stay overnight?

One of them high class B and Bs off High Northgate are probably doing them a reasonable package with full English

I don't know Pete, we are at a level where it is getting towards been the norm again on long trips. According to Gloucester fans they do it a couple of times a season to the longest away games. It's not that expensive really

Dunno the two are independent of each other. In fact maybe the money that isn't being spent on full time wages is being spent on the hotel.
Depending where they are staying if they bunk 3 in a room it could be what £30-£40 per player.

Blackwell Grange Hotel seems such an obvious location for a football team - it has everything going for it - gym/pool/location. If the price is reasonable then it's a no brainer!!

Looks like no major frost in the area, so hopefully the Gloucester team hasn't had a wasted journey.
