The pitch was probably playable when the ref arrived, even get a local ref to check around 11 am, but if it is playable then, and the Robins want the big Saturday derby crowd, it is hard to call off.

My dog Panda has been to at least 2 games this season. More than some armchair fans.

Anyone else at Altrincham today ? Got to Moss Lane at 2.30pm. Pint enjoyed inside before coming out just before 3.00 kick off to see the pitch was deserted. Game called off literally 10 minutes before kick off due to a frozen pitch. The weather hadn't changed since lunchtime - cold and dry and sunny - so why leave it so late ? At least I didn't have as far to travel as the Morecambe fans.

The Altrincham website has a log of events. Parts of the pitch was recommended for heat lamps. Looks like the warm up identified the pitch remained frozen in parts.

Still strange to only confirm 15 minutes prior to kick off the game was off.
