Bound to happen at this time of year, especially in this league given the weather we have had. It's not just us either and we have plenty of free Tuesday nights.

A pitch inspection 24 hours before the game ?

Does not sound good.

Dover fans suggesting that their club actually want the game off so they can prepare for the trophy game on Saturday!

Sounds better than 2 1/2 hours before kick-off.

Frozen pitch, likely to be off with the forecasted weather for tonight and tomorrow.

This makes far more sense than as Grantham Mariner says, 2 1/2 hours before the K.O. Imagine getting to the M25 to hear it's called off.....

Weather is nice down this way and forecast is promising so fingers crossed

The worst weather for the rest of the week apparently will be down the east coast and into the south east corner so FGR should be OK...

Forecast for -1 over night and between 2.5 and 4 during the day. Maybe a bit of rain. I don't believe there will be any problems.

I understand that Dover's ground is largely in shade and once it freezes it takes some thawing out. That coupled with Dover preparing for their Trophy 1/4 final i think it will be off

Should have no bearing surely?

Who is making the decision? -an impartial person i would hope.

Dover will want the pitch in good condition,

They will also want their players rested and injury free,

They want to go to Wembley.

Isn't it up to a league appointed Ref to do a pitch inspection? This then removes suggestions of undue influence of clubs. Unless of course someone 'forgets' to turn the under soil heating on.

I understand it is a 'local official' who will do the inspection. Most of their ground remains in the shade and once frozen takes longer than usual to thaw, or at least that is the line being used. Dover fans saying the FA Trophywill be in the minds of their officers whilst they speak to the guy inspecting the pitch

I am pleased an early decision is to be made given the long journey

Light frost tonight, then 3 degrees and miserable all day tomorrow. They cold and in my opinion should leave this until early afternoon tomorrow. It smacks of getting a convenient outcome for them.

Game off.

Could be worse, we could still be in the FA trophy! Imagine the fixture pile up...

We could of all took one of these with us to thaw the pitch.  ;)
