If the pitch is frozen, it doesn't seem likely to thaw out if its -8 C in Brussells.

I would have thought that such a big stadium would have had undersoil heating?

Was a good move by Stade to play in Brussels

Probably seemed a good idea at the time

Take it if it isn't played tomorrow we get the points?

Or could they hold it at their ground in Paris?

Stade are trying to have it rearranged in Paris. That comes from an ERC source.
