Round 15 postponements ?

Obviously no announcements yet, but it's looking like there'll be a hard frost overnight Friday in Stortford, with temperatures remaining low on Saturday morning.

My prediction is that only 2 games will survive Rosslyn Park for sure and I believe Dings are also plastic but it’s whether Sedge can get out of the frozen North

Sale v Rams postponed

I'd say it's doubtful that Ampthill will get their already rearranged Champ fixture vs Hartpury on either. Bracknell (Level 5) moved their home game vs Jersey to nearby Maidenhead RFC last weekend (artificial pitch) at pretty late notice. I'd hope National League clubs could take a leaf out of their book if able to, but may be less keen to due to the clear losses in normal hospitality and matchday takings that would incur.

I was party to a discussion back in the 1970's about the subject of games being cancelled due to a frozen pitch. Is the ground actually any harder than the beginning of the season after a dry spell in September. Of course we don't mind running about in warm weather, but is there any more actual danger of injury was the conversation. The conclusion was we didn't want to play on a freezing cold day and adjourned to the bar, but there was no science to support the decision, it just seemed like a good idea at the time.
