Arsenal (a) pre-match thread (Game given go ahead 1350hrs)

Team travel should be OK ( if they went by plane to London City airport then an hour ish by coach to ground or nearby hotel??) and modern pitch will be heated and playable. It's the travel and safety of supporters which should be the issue.
Is Spurs v Rochdale replay still on for tonight?

YES.

Spurs Dale game everyone will be pushing to get it done as they would find it very hard to reschedule it ... ours on the other hand has a perfectly good weekend open to both teams now so push at both games would be in different directions ... thiers to be held at all costs and ours to be postponed ...

But yeah, it will be telling ... BUT if Spurs get cancelled, no way ours is going ahead ... if Spurs game goes ahead, ours still could be cancelled.

Good to see Monreal is out tomorrow - reported he’s picked up an injury ! He did his back diving in our penalty box on Sunday. Serves him right the cheating twat.

Personally I am more worried about the risk of our players getting injured on a frozen pitch rather than conceding the points.

Under soil heating, pitch will be fine

Thought the very same thing myself!

Given the weather is looking slightly better for tomorrow i think it will definitely go ahead if Spurs goes ahead tonight.

I know Kroenke is a tight bastard but surely he could leave the underpitch heating on.

Don't hold back pal ! :-D

Well snowed in chingford which is an area where a lot of arsenal fans travel from

Chingford.. Is that a euphemism? ?and if it is, do Paul Merson and Danniela Westbrook live there ? :-/

If Arsenal don't do their part in trying as far as possible to get the game to go ahead i.e. Clearing snow away from their ground around access to the stadium and ensuring under soil heating is on and working then they are the ones who could face losing 3 points.
