Hull vs QPR?
East Riding Mail - HULL CITY: Tigers 'stay cool' on KC clash with QPR
- HULL City are confident that this weekend's clash with league leaders QPR will not succumb to the cold snap currently gripping East Yorkshire.
- Freezing weather in recent days has plunged the KC Stadium under a blanket of snow and raised early concerns that Saturday's fixture will inevitably fall victim to the conditions.
- But while forecasts promise little respite to the sub-zero temperatures, the Tigers remain hopeful that the KC Stadium's under-soil heating will still allow the game to go ahead.
- "We're quite cool about the whole thing at this stage, we don't foresee any problems," said John Cooper, general manager at the KC Stadium.
- "The forecast at the moment is for freezing temperatures, rather than more heavy snow, and providing that doesn't change, we're confident the game will go ahead.
- "If things stay as they are at the moment we should have the pitch clear of snow by Thursday.
- "We've also got plans in place for in and around the stadium this weekend so hopefully there will be no issue of calling the game off. We're very positive."
- The KC boasts a state-of-the-art under-soil heating system that has helped them beat freezing conditions in previous years.
- While it provides no guarantees that Saturday's fixture will go ahead, a gradual rise in the underground temperature is expected to see the current snow covering thaw out in the next 48 hours.
- Groundsmen will leave the pitch until all snow is cleared and providing the region avoids further snow in the build-up to Saturday's game, City expect to have the situation under control.
- "Under-soil heating is more of a preventative measure than a cure," explained Cooper.
- "It's a very careful process. We kept the heating off all of last week and allowed a frost.
- "For the next couple of days there will be no-one allowed near the pitch to avoid doing any damage.
- "The pitch temperature was around two to three degrees but we're slowly upping that now.
- "It'll build as the week goes on and by Thursday we'll be looking to have the temperature up to 10 or 12 degrees.
- "That will allow the snow covering to thaw out slowly and all being well, give us a clear pitch well before the weekend."
- The KC has not been immune to the weather, however, and heavy snow saw City's Premier League fixture with Chelsea called off in January.
- That was a decision based largely on safety concerns and Humberside Police will be in regular consultation again this week.
- Gritting will take place on the access roads to the KC but Cooper admits there will be some factors out of his hands.
- "For the Chelsea game last season there was a huge dump of snow on the Friday night and Saturday morning," added Cooper.
- "Safety then became an issue going to and from the stadium and that was outside of our control.
- "We're having a meeting with Humberside Police to plan for every eventuality this weekend, purely as a precaution, but it's a situation we will monitor as the week goes on." Hull Daily Mail
