Big Freeze Could Hit Big Billy’s First Game

Billy Davies’ hopes of leading out his troops for the first time this weekend, could be hampered by the weather. Forest face Charlton at the Valley and it’s possible the game could be a victim of the freezing weather conditions.

Sources at the London club say a pitch inspection will be made on Friday morning, but even if it gets the go ahead then, it will be worth while checking again nearer the game.

Director of Operations at the Valley, Mick Everett said. ‘We have a pitch inspection scheduled for Friday morning because there are areas of the surface that we are concerned about. We have protected the surface by covering it straight after the Norwich game, but we`ve experienced some extremely low temperatures, and more are forecast.’
