Quoted from Poojah
Not to be the party pooper after last night’s enjoyable game, but do we see this game as a potential victim of the weather? According to the BBC, it’s forecast to get mightily cold towards the end of the week and into the weekend; set to drop below zero at 5pm on the Friday and not due to get back above until 11am on the Saturday.

From a quick Google, Oxford have covers but not undersoil heating, and had a game called off against Barnsley in early December last year, after a 9:30am pitch inspection. It doesn’t look as though it will get quite as cold as it did then though (due to be -3 as opposed to -7), which might just be the saving grace. Something to keep an eye on though, if you’re going.

It's Oxford.  Surely all those brians churning away would create some heat.

Looking at the forecast, if a call comes, they should at least be able to make it early. It’s currently due to be -3 at 9am and -1 at 11am, not getting above 0 until about 1pm.

It will surely come down to how effective the frost covers have been; if the pitch isn’t playable early morning, there’s not an awful lot that going to change that in the hours before the game.
