Lions sure game will go ahead

A number of matches have already been postponed due to the heavy snow across the country but Lions chief executive Andy Ambler has no doubt the clash at The Den will go ahead as planned.

"We are very confident," said Ambler. "The fact The Den has undersoil heating is obviously a bonus and it's been on all week.

"There's a bit of snow on the pitch at the moment but with the forecast as it is we are really confident the game will go ahead.

"The surrounding areas are probably our biggest concern but there's a lot of work going on.

"The gritting lorries are coming in to make sure the car parks and surrounding areas are safe and we're clearing snow and ice from the seating deck. It's a case of game on as far as we are concerned."
