The continuing adverse weather conditions means that Saturdays game will be under threat.
Although Lancashire has not yet seen the snow that much of the North has experienced, they have sub zero temperatures.
Weather watch required and hopefully a decision can be made sometime on Friday.

Sounds like Co.Durham is also under threat as well. I had arranged the weather so you could not get to Morecambe! Stay at home and keep warm.....please.  |  | | |

No chance of any football down here today Durham. My back garden is buried under 10 cms and it's still snowing quite hard. Apparently some A roads are blocked in Lincolnshire (n.b. we usually travel up the A1) and I doubt if the cross Pennine routes will be a joy. Respect to the 4,000 + Rochdale fans that had a miserable journey home from Wembley.
So far, the only announcement is the CUSA bus is leaving earlier (07:30). But if there is any doubt I am hoping it is called off on Friday afternoon when the forecast is known. The pitch might be fine, but the roads and railway....? On the last two journeys north we were delayed by accidents and were fretting about missing kick off and conditions were good. Can you imagine Saturday? Common sense must prevail even if it means a Tuesday night trip. [Post edited 1 Mar 2018 10:28]

The games at Sheff Utd, Bradford City, Gillingham, Oxford Utd and Newport have already been postponed. With the forecast not good for tomorrow as well, I think it likely there will be no games played in League's 1 and 2. [Post edited 1 Mar 2018 18:33]

I'm taking Gerry's advice and staying at home, mind you we have 12 inches of snow in the Village and where it has drifted it is far worse.
At least if I don't go I can't be blamed for another defeat!!!!!!!!!
Noah, I saw the Colchester weather and conditions at Colchester railway Station. Not very good at all.
The Beast from the East and Storm Emma have a lot to answer for!
My son even has snow in North Cornwall, albeit only a light covering.
In view of the conditions let us hope that the match is called off on Saturday.

Following a pitch inspection the game is off tomorrow.
Common sense has prevailed, it also gives the U's more time to regroup ahead of the Mansfield game with Flitcroft's Stags the opposition.
