At least the fans never travelled with it being called off relatively early.
 Then again a midweek away fixture always presents the opportunity to make a proper day if it.  |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Would have to be an overnighter. Could drive it, but it's not the same. |

It isn't possible as you struggle to get on at the Bescot. You have to drive or get the OSC coach |

Not ideal as there would have been quite a few going up by train. |

I saw on Facebook some poor guy was outside the stadium around 10:30 and wondered why it was so quiet and wanted to know where fans were meeting for pre match drinks😀

In this age of taking minority interests into account, pitch inspections should really be carried out at 5am at the latest before a game. Otherwise cancel the fuckers. Anyway, 5 pints better off since 9am & heading south on the 13:03. Brummie cunts.  |

It's pretty poor this day & age that a professional football club was relying on cheap covers without any insulation to stop the ground freezing. I remember in 1980 v Wolves league cup semi final we also put straw down to ensure the game went ahead and over 40 years on we haven't found a way to stop a football pitch freezing apart from undersoil heating.

But they can only do so much, typically -4 to -6 tops. what is shit is late postponements. barrow v Salford and Grimsby v Harrogate are late call offs by the referee |

If in any doubt both of those matches should have been called off yesterday afternoon |

Peterborough just gone (v Charlton)
I know you are in for a hiding if the pitch actually becomes playable, but an hour and a half before kick off??
