Scunthorpe United say their Glanford Park pitch is currently playable but that Saturday’s game against Town depends on how Friday night’s frost affects the surface.

Covers have been on the pitch since Wednesday and they should be able to withstand the temperature falling to minus four, Friday’s expected temperature. A greater drop could see areas of the pitch freeze.

The Scunthorpe groundstaff plan to remove the covers early on Saturday and assess the condition of the surface. Referee Andy Haines will be on call for an early pitch inspection if required.

NSL added 19:19 - Dec 18 Looking forward to my trip to Scunny but games are called off for any little thing these days and they won't want to play an in-form Town side if it can be avoided.

moomoosereni added 19:59 - Dec 18 Don't think it being 2009 makes any difference to natures wrath! It's not like all clubs below the premier league can afford heated pitches/better covers etc! Also BJC, hope you are joking again, because you seem like one of the most miserable/negative fairly dim people I've ever heard! Would hate to be at your house for xmas, misery and mash for dinner!
