I live near Ebbsfleet's ground and its just been raining all morning - no snow at all. The game got postponed because some areas were actually getting waterlogged!! They made the call early to stop Hartlepool making the journey down today in the poor weather forecast for the northeast. Its not freezing here and its not forecast to freeze overnight - so optimistic the game will go ahead tomorrow

Sadly match off just as well as M4 in trouble so the team coach would have had a problem.

Game is OFF, official. What a shame. Match will most likely be rearranged for mid-week....later in Feb or March.

Shame but a sensible decision to do it now for all parties

I hope that Johnson gets in a practice match next week, the defeat at Bath came on the back of a two week lay of, I am sure that he will be fully aware of this fact but lets not tempt history repeating itself.

Well, come Wednesday morning we will know if the title challenge is still in our hands. Wokings game is still on tommorow and they play on Tuesday night which will bring them level on games . I reckon they will get 4 points out of the two fixtures and still leave us top on goal difference. That’s if my maths has improved since my Audley Park days !

Audley Park, that's a name from the past, great times, only problem if they had a re union from my years we would have to hold it in Dartmoor Prison.

It is already in our hands, we can get to 102 points and Woking could only get 101 if we beat them.

But I know what you are saying and agree it will become clearer.

Snowing here now so looks as if a sensible decision to call it off today and save wasted journeys.

I feel sorry for you - you travelled from the states, right? At least you saw a 7-2 win last week!
