If the game were being played tomorrow, I bet it would be on.....it’ll be +5, positively summer weather.

Yeah, I don't understand why rugby can cope with 24 hour postponements but football needs two weeks to prepare for a rearranged game.

Not surprised it's off but it's still a pisser.

[Risso]

Good. A few more days rest for Jack.

Football matches require a larger police presence, which needs to be arranged well in advance. This is the same reason why cup replays can no longer be played in the midweek following the original match.

I'm robotically programmed to a set routine on a home matchday.....

How the hell am I going to cope?

I haven't even seen a gritted. It amazes me how no council ever prepares for this.

Perhaps because it is a little more frequent, bad weather in Yorkshire is usually very well reponded to by the local authorities. Down here in south Brum, I’m amazed that virtually nothing appears to have been done.
Just an observation.
Looks like I’ll be heading back up north sooner than I thought, after having checked on my aged father.

They were out gritting yesterday morning, I even saw one of the trucks get stuck in the snow but so much fell over a long period yesterday it was mayhem by evening rush hour. At around 8:00 p.m. the roads were starting to look a little better where they had been gritted but it was still snowing. I have cleared my drive twice over the past couple of days and it looks as though it hasn’t been touched.

Okay; flash-storms, I guess.

Nope. Sky have shifted it to Friday night. (and declared my travel plans null and void at the same time.)

No. Friday night.

That's great news for me.
Was going to miss it because of a free weekend at the HRH Blues Festival in Sheffield.
