We are forecast overnight frost and minus two, so we need to have a look in the morning and take it from there.

We probably sold about 500 tickets overnight and this morning. We didn't get down under 1,000 like we wanted, but it was enough movement that hopefully the momentum will continue. We also heard from a number of our season ticket-holders that were disappointed because they weren't going to be able to get to the game and wanted to watch it on TV.

One morning, there was minus 18 (degrees Celsius) and I was forced to train on a synthetic pitch without any medical assistance.

I can't be minus out there.

In the digital age of 'overnight' success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.

The winds are forecast to remain calm, so if we wait until tomorrow morning, the batteries will deplete, the relays and valves will go to the normally open condition. As the oxidizer warms up, the tank vents will open, removing the flight pressure. With the booster depressurized and batteries depleted, it will then be safe to approach the rocket.
