I'm going, just wonder if there is any chance of it being called off due to weather.

The east of the UK is meant to get a lot of snow overnight.

No snow overnight in Norwich. It is snowing now, 8.06am, but very light and not laying. Temperature 0.0 degrees on my car dash.

It's perishing cold with a brisk breeze making it worse.

There is heavier snow forecast for later, around two inches. Most forecasters etc saying that will come later afternoon, probably second half of the game or around full time.

In other words it should be OK. Carrow Rd has undersoil heating.

Cambridge had a light dusting overnight, so no sign it's significantly worse inland

Weather update: I'm not going to lie, it's bitter in Norwich, very bitter. Titus Oates would think twice about leaving the tent.

However I see little or no chance of the game being called off.

It's been snowing since around 7.30am but has stopped within the last five minutes or so. The snow we have had has been of the flurry variety, light and small infrequent flakes.

It hasn't laid either on the roads or grass. The roads are totally clear. The forecasts seemed to have rowed back on the predictions of heavy snow as well, with just light snow forecast and even then not persistent, more flurries I suspect.

The temperature is minus 1 at the moment and there is a bitter wind which has just blown the snow there has been into hedges and buildings.

In short, if you've ever played Sunday morning football and pulled the curtains back in the morning and said: 'Ffs, I'm not playing in this,' then gritted your teeth and got on with it, well, that's about the size of it.

If there is any drastic change will update but would say game on.

Agreed. I’ve never known anything like. Ever. Had a massive injury list consistently since before the season started. Think at one point it did get down to just 3 or 4 players but overall it’s a fair part of why the club are in such a mess this season.

One has to ask though why so many of the injuries arise in training or are annoying recurrences of hamstring problems. Is there an issue with the way the club/physios go about planning things?

Kermorgant must still be carrying an injury as well if Smith starts ahead of him and Berg and Swift can’t be 100% either!

Can’t blame Stam for team selection on this one then.

Stam is absolutely doing my head in-I would love us to pick up some points , but that team selection is dreadful.

The midfield is light weight, the defence error prone, and he picks a kid to drag us out of the mire.

You start with the injury risks-Bacuna, Swift, Kermit.

If we get behind , having them on the bench is a waste

Good afternoon everyone. Yet another of our relegation "rivals" lost earlier today, so fingers crossed we get something out of this one!!
