ASTON VILLA GAME POSTPONED
Posted on: Sat 18 Dec 2010

Freak snow forces club to postpone today's game against Aston Villa

Today's Barclays Premier League game between Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa at the DW Stadium has been called off after freak weather conditions in the town overnight.

The decision was made on the advice of Superintendent Stuart Ellison of Greater Manchester Police, on Safety Grounds.

Despite the club's best efforts using today's game on by bringing in snow ploughs and gritters, the ten inches of snow that fell overnight, and is still falling at the time of going to press, has made the surrounding area extremely hazardous for supporters travelling to the game.

Public transport isn't running, there are motorway closures and the general condition of the surrounding routes is treacherous.

The DW Stadium playing surface, ironically, is fine, with the undersoil heating doing its job.

The club wants to apologise for the inconvenience this causes. News of the postponement has been circulated as early as possible to all official news channels and news contacts.

Club staff have also been unable to reach the stadium in order to send out text message alerts to Latics supporters.

A chance to get our injured/sick players back but i did fancy our chances today but i usually do.

Let's make the best of it. Everybody grab a spade and take all the snow to Perth. It's England's only hope of avoiding defeat!

Not surprised having listened to local radio this morning.  I wasn't fancying the trip and it is only 20 miles or so.

This is good news for me.

I was meant to be in Manchester from Thursday until Saturday for some ski practice and then the Wigan game.

A combination of the anticipated snow chaos, work and a cough lead to me not travelling up.

[Chris Jameson]

Snow chaos leading to the cancellation of ski practise?

[Dave Javu]

Talk about piste off.

At least now our injured player's should be back along with new signing's for the rearranged game.

I'm pleased my train out of Aberystwyth was delayed or I'd currently be on a train without a game to go to.. Already have my money back on my train ticket so nothing is lost.

I keep thinking that but it's more likely another three will have got injured by the time the game comes around.

Looking out the window it would have been off it was at home, as well.

I keep thinking that but it's more likely another three will have got injured by the time the game comes around.

By the time it's rescheduled we'll have got rid of Carew, Sidwell and Ireland, Petrov and Delph will be fit, Young won't have gone to Liverpool or Spurs because they can't afford his wages and we'll have signed a left back, a goalkeeper, a central midfielder and a striker who knows where the goal is.
