Exactly. Sure that many gardeners will tell you that meteorological air temp. readings of 3 degrees taken at 1.25 meters above ground can result in ground/grass frost.

That's because the ground has a much higher thermal capacity than the air. It takes longer to cool down than air and longer to heat up. At the start of winter when the air temperature falls to zero the ground stays above zero until there is a long cold spell. Then when the air temperature rises the ground stays frozen for a longer time.

It’s like anyone that’s taken a swim in the sea on a cold October’s day, they’ll will find the sea a lot warmer than doing the same on a hot April day.

What about the Urals?

Why are you talking about swimming? This is a gardening forum. Please keep on the subject. We'll end up with people talking about football on here otherwise.

That's correct. If the pitch was unplayable at 6-30 pm it was unplayable at midday, two o'clock, four o'clock and so on.

At least one person cocked up.

So now you're saying the club statement was a lie? Interesting. Just get over it man, a game was called off in the middle of winter - woopdy doo.

Pitch was inspected at 5pm it's was deemed fit

So the referee & the managers of both clubs are lying?

No, the earlier inspection was probably inadequate.

Thank you for making it clear that you are devoid of logical thought.

No. I am saying that the probability is that the earlier inspection was inadequate.

Stan is first and foremost a shit stirrer (from afar) - and he uses this forum for 'his sport'. For me 'mean spirited man' describes him best.

No Brendan, the referee and both managers were happy the pitch was playable in the earlier inspection.
Nice to see once again that you simply haven’t got a clue muc.

The temperature dropped once the sun went down, is that too hard to understand?
It was bloody freezing when I was sat in my seat and I was only in it for 5 minutes before the game was called

Both managers were happy the game was going ahead at five. Both managers were happy for the game to go ahead at 6-30. Nothing you have written takes away from my point.

Either the first inspection should have resulted in the game being called off or the second inspection wrongly called it off. My suspicion, and no more than that is that at five o'clock it was nearly dark. The floodlights may not have been on and the problematic corners of the pitch were missed.

No logical thought whatsoever. It's not nice to see for me, your lack of thought before posting is depressing.
