:lol: :lol: :lol:
Did you not listen to the 'official' denial that our ground was NOT built from this blueprint....They may LOOK the same, use the same breeze blocks, the same stantions, the same seating arrangements, the same roof structure...no deffo nothing like each other....appart from our 'rip of' costing that is!!

I'll be there, hope to see a win at last, they play better away from home, so 1-0 from a Nicholls penalty again?

[Darth Vader]

Didn't we have some muppet go to their new gaff and report back saying this is what we need, but with double the amount of pillars.

Nevertheless I think their grounds ace, tidy bit of home terracing with a low roof. Smart.

I will be successfull

[SaigonSaddler]

After the Notts County fiasco - 9-1. But this being Walsall we could sneak a draw or even a win to momentarily halt the inexorable slide into putrifaction.

Whatever, relegation awaits. :|

Scunthorpe 4-0 Walsall.
Dean Smith to get his marching orders and his sacking will be announced on the Monday morning.

[Asps]

They've signed Jon Parking from Cardiff and invested in other players.

We'll get thumped 4-0 if the game is on

[hullsaddler]

Hard frost followed by bands of snow being predicted up here for Friday/Saturday.

Nope, aye gewin now, we'll lose again, it'll be bloomin freezin, and the local weather reports are warning of heavy snow in that area, so it aye worth the misery, I'd rather gew shoppin wit wife!

Scunthorpe 4-0 Walsall.
Dean Smith to get his marching orders and his sacking will be announced on the Monday morning.

Nope, my money's on Wednesday morning, after ANOTHER defeat at Boundary Park!
By which time it will be too late anyway, were doomed Mr Mannering DOOMED......

[bangsection]

Who's looking forward to this one?

Me too!

See you there?

Great!

And if it's off due to the weather it's all back to mine for tea and home-made cakes in front of a roaring fire!

[WFC_Rob]

They'll have a completely new-look side playing us on Saturday. Let's just hope they take a few weeks to gel.

I'll go for a very optimistic 1-1 draw. Really can't see us getting three points, even if it's close to being a must-win.

Currently minus 7 in the area & about a cm of snow. Beautiful clear & cold. There were shots of Glanford Park with black plastic sheeting on the pitch on Look North last night. Local weather is now predicting snow will arrive later on Saturday ( late afternoon/evening) & that there may be quite a lot.

Sheeting? Pathetic! Why haven't they got state of the art over soil heating like us?

[bangsection]

Pitch inspection at 9am tomorrow according to Firewall FC's official site. Inspected at 11am today and currently deemed "playable" so fingers crossed.

[Darth Vader]

Honestly can't see it being on.

[SheffieldSaddler]

The only hope we have of not losing it to have the game called off!

If it goes ahead Scunthorpe will win 2-0.

Why's that? We'll no doubt lose the re-arranged fixture too. :lol:

[SaigonSaddler]

Hopefully it will be OFF.

[Willenhall Saddler]

It'll definitely be off.

[leics_saddler]

Jeff to finally turn up to a game, to find it cancelled.
He'll single handedly thaw the pitch out with his permatan and whirring helicopter blades and be proclaimed as the saviour of Glanford Park - again.
Ishmel to sleep in until he realises he doesn't play for us anymore.
Walsall to have a shot on target - ever the optimist!

[Neuromantic]

Are they using our state-of-the-art oil drum fire burners?

[hullsaddler]

Just watched our local weather on BBC
Predicting temperatures of minus 6 or minus 7 in the area around Scunthorpe tonight. A cold dry morning, with heavy snow due to arrive 3-4ish ( though he did say there was a margin of an hour or so here).
So I would be surprised if it's not called off & if it does go ahead it could be pretty unpleasant by the second half!

All VERY believable, but the last line? now that IS eternal optimism that goes way beyond belief!! :) :)

[SheffieldSaddler]

The coldest predicted on met office is -2 overnight and +1 from 12 midday.
So a decent chance of it being on.
