    I can only see a plan to rearrange for next weekend being the real reason.

    i.e. a bit more time for injured players to return.

    You're obviously suggesting the match has been cancelled due to some ulterior motive

    As you appear to be claiming that there are no safety considerations. Could you tell me why you think the game has been postponed?

    So you think a manager can get a game postponed due to some of his players being injured?

    Do you think the club wont be able to influence the decision

    which is clearly a subjective one.

    Seems to me the club were doing their best to get the game on

    Why would they have wasted money switching the under soil heating on and wasted time clearing snow from the stands if they wanted the game postponed?

    I really don't understand why you're looking for other reasons to why the game was postponed. If I look out of my window I can see that our street is an ice rink. If the roads and pavements are like that around Oakwell, which is only a mile away, then I fully understand why the game is off.

    Will it be safe to go shopping in town tomorrow?

    Perhaps we should all stay at home until we are told otherwise....

    hmm

    I live in Oakwell so am reasonably placed to understand the conditions of the surrounding area.

    I also work with lots of people from sheffield and they have said the conditions are similar to where I work in Tankersley, which are worse than back home.

    The snow was melting this morning and continues to do so. The forecast for tomorrow is also decent.

    I think given the choice, say if my key defender was out of action for a another week, I might prefer to call the game off.

    Just a hypothesis, I'm sure there's compelling H&S grounds to call off the game.....(dunno) :)S) :)S)

    They will recommend Sheffield / Meadowhall instead

    After all, it's safer over there...

    He's got eleven fit players

    and so we play the game.

    If Davey doesn't "fancy it" some weeks, well....

    Pathetic. I remember going to watch us play Everton at home in the FA Cup in 1963 when i was a nipper and the snow/weather was a lot worse.
    We lost 3 nil
