Still trying to play the game depending on further Covid test results tomorrow, according to Villa.

Good news will they have blowers blowing warm air I wonder or is it just a cover

Lets hope the ground doesn't freeze while the Dragons are playing on it. Not much time to thaw again afterwards, unless they are using warm air.

I meant to put 'if' ..
I don't know why the FA don't just get Villa to play their kids like Liverpool did against them when the first team squad was at the Club World Cup.

Edit.. game still on, Villa to play mainly u23's.

Oldham v Bournemouth now being played on the south coast

There is a video on the County website showing it being inflated, so it should be okay.

Can't find the video. Where is it on website please? All we need now is for lights to be installed and the match can be played inside the dome

Couldn't find that video of dome being inflated either; but interesting interview with MF. Thinks its only costing the club in the region Of £2500. A 'no brainer'
Says also Taylor and Labadie fit for the game.
Three deals complete for new players, with maybe 4 or 5 others to come in and a couple to leave.
Has some money to spend.

Video on twitter

Good Afternoon

Just an observation... I wanted to see the video too.

I don’t do Twitter, which I believe costs nothing and has the video.

I pay year subscription for I-follow for club info etc and no video.

Am I right to feel a bit aggrieved by this? Maybe it’s not an official video so that might explain it.

Hi Phil,

Here is the link...

Pretty sure this wasn't put up by the Club - probably by the WRU groundstaff.

Glyn.

Good interview with Gav and Micky D on HTV Wales news just now. Couldn’t see the pitch, big inflated dome all over it. Looking good. Don’t think the weather will be a problem. Cmon the County.

Good Evening

Cheers Glynn, much appreciated!

Don't want to jinx anything but perhaps that's why flynny wants extra players

Either that or he thinks others will leave, in his pre match interview he say's most of the loans have gone back and he thinks he will loose a couple from the squad, worrying as there are strong rumours of charlton and forest eyeing up josh sheehan.
