Barnet pitch inspection at 11am
9:50am Friday 10th February 2012 in Local By Gary Rose
BARNET will hold a pitch inspection at 11am to determine whether tomorrow's League Two fixture between the Bees and Swindon can go ahead.
Temperatures in the area are currently at zero degrees, with forecasts predicting they will drop as low as -6 later today.
The covers were on overnight at Underhill but it is understood the pitch is currently frozen and it is expected that the game will be called off.

Game cannot be confirmed as going ahead at 11am today - only not postponed at that point. Should give an indication what the pitch will be like at the same time tomorrow but obviously another nights freezing temperatures will add to this. I see a fair few games becoming a victim to the weather so we are all in the same boat and a congested fixture list may look bad but I see STFC as having a far better squad to cope with Sat/Tues/Sat/Tues than our rivals. We are sat nicely. Would be nice to see a few teams around us drop points if games do go ahead. Still, hopefully we play tomorrow but if not then no bother.
