    2 lads on tractors for an hour
    Few lads wi snow shovels
    Not one grain of grit to be seen in the entire Oakwell area
    No work done on the surrounding areas (apart from local residents) pre Friday snow or in the 72 following hours

    I'd hate to think they were trying to rescue me if I was ever in danger

    they'd absolutely no intention of getting this game on, every other club (baring the Blunts) got their games on yesterday and that's with over 36hrs less time than we've had, saw grounds yesterday with piles of snow and ice around the edges of the pitch, you telling me the surrounding area's around the ground were clear, its bull$hit again from the powers that be down at Oakwell.

    I think is more to do with the safety of the ball boys... They could freeze solid and nobody would know. :)

    What does make this embarrassing was that a lot of sceptics stated yesterday that they could see no attempt by the club to get this game on. and felt it would be called off. You could argue that they were proved right.
