Temperature going to be really low in the morning when we take that cover off, a chance the pitch freezes over between them and game starting |  |

Has to be a possibility. Be frustrated if it’s postponed after I’ve got on the train though |  |

Potentially.. especially if they throw the sprinklers on still. Doesn't get above 0 until 11.30 |  |

I said this at the start of the week and was laughed off. It's real possibility. It's not going to get above freezing from this evening until Sat 1pm.... | | | |

I hadn't seen that post, but with it being the early kick off if the covers need to come off about 9am those 3 hours between coming off and the game started could be a real issue - how low is it due to go on Saturday morning? | |

What’s the latest they can keep the tent up? 11:30 maybe? Then the pitch should stay at that temp for a little while, you’d hope. |  |

It’s not getting called off, lowest temps are 0c down to -3c, given that we got the game vs borough started in -14c conditions a few years back I wouldn’t be worried |  |

The pitch is a LOT worse than it was back then though. Underfoot conditions of our playing surface are some of the worst in League One, without doubt. | | | |

You'd imagine quite early due to getting the goals up. Lines done. Pitch brushed and sprinklers on.. | |

BBC and Met Office say min of -2C overnight and +1 by midday for Ipswich. Met Office site actually lists as Ipswich Town FC. [Post edited 8 Dec 2022 13:11]

It wasn't that cold at that Boro game, but the pitch froze up really quickly | |

How do you know what the underfoot conditions are like at Portman Road and other League One grounds? | | | |

Southern Softies - it won't get called off
It's bloody -10 up here on the edge of the Yorkshrie Dales most evenings and we're walking around in tee shirts |  |

The Portman Rd surface is in a dire state. It's needed significant work beneath the topsoil for well over a decade. It cuts up week after week and was like an ice rink even in the second half of the Fleetwood game. If it's consistently below zero between now and Sat I think it'll be a coinflip. | | | |

Just have to look at how many players slip over on our pitch to know that the level below just isn't as solid as it should be for our level imo.
Slips happen. But we must see the most at PR from both sides than any other game. | |

Which only goes to show how fecking daft they are up in Yorkshrie.
I imagine the people of Yorkshire, Lanacashire, Lancashrie and all places further North are similarly soft in the head, probably caused by frozen grey matter. |  |

I'll treat that reply with the contempt it deserves ....but you're probably correct to be fair | |
