I wonder if Lincoln forced the decision. Do they have minor injuries to key players? #conspiracy

I think they do have injuries from reading their preview

You do get the vibe Lincoln forced this through the little fannies. They lost heavily last game as well

 

[steve82]

Even yesterday they categorically said it was on.

That should never of done that given the forecast of snow in the afternoon.

Likely gonna hit the clubs pockets today unfortunately.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

That’s that then. Hope we smash them in the rearranged game.

I wonder if they will call all the Prem games off then in the interests of safety of the travelling fans ?!

Virus? Stomach bug (especially if they stayed at the Holiday Inn).

 

[covcity4life]

Bullshit

 

[Otis]

Bullshit

Yeah, virus, stomach bug, bullshit, could be any of them.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Game would be fine but they should have listened to forecast last night and taken the decision sooner.

 

[ccfcway]

oh well, big shop it is then

 

[Generally Midfield]

I think if there's any doubt about safety it will be called off.

Health and safety gone mad. 3 inches of snow and country at a standstill.

Games being off due to weather has happened plenty of time in the past. Isn't there a statistic that in 1962/63 Lincoln v City was postponed 14 times

 

[Ashdown]

Cov Blaze have been called off too......frozen pitch !!

 

[Londonccfcfan]

In terms of health and safety fans can make their own mind up surely.

Unless police and stewards couldn't make it safely to ground. They are at work.

 

[ccfcway]

yet another match day where doyle and kelly were too deep and biamou didn't score

 

[Covstu]

Sensible call to be honest although disappointing. They have to think of away fans coming through also

 

[Otis]

Tesco Arena? That's the biggest isn't it? After that it would probably be Toys R Us.

 

[no_loyalty]

Nightmare, can't go to midweek games :banghead:

 

[ccfcway]

Iceland in town is closed due to frozen food

 

[Otis]

I don't think too deep in the snow counts.

Not even if you beg her to give you permission?

The difference being they were all down to pitch condition. Pitch is fine.

 

[ccfcway]

local news reporting that its been cancelled due to the fact that Snow Is Settling Underfoot

knew it would be SISU's fault....

 

[no_loyalty]

Might try and get to Swindon, I'm sure their game is still on

 

[Otis]

According to the Beeb our game is off due to a frozen pitch. That's not right surely?

 

[wingy]

I think it's weird that something was considered feasible earlier on in the morning became less so with the passage of time.
I've just been for a a toddle to the local shop and it did surprise me that it was worse than I expected.
I'm all for considering safety but this game would have gone ahead in the 60s-80s.
Commercially it's bad and that doesn't mean that should override safety.
I would ask will anyone for instance visit Arena Park shopping centre today?
If that is permissible and feasible then so was the football match IMO.
Anyhow we now will see whether there is any psychological advantage to playing before, simultaneously or after our rivals.

Lincoln have blamed too much snow by the Ricoh

Around the West Midlands overnight temparatures plummeted and snow fell leaving some areas around the stadium footprint particularly treacherous for supporters to access.

You’re defo not loyal at all are you? Don’t give revenue to the competition man!!

Are the condition inside or outside anywhere near as bad as coventry vs Blackburn from mid nineties!

Have you got room in your car?

If it's called off last minute we can just do the *roundabouts for 2 hours.*

*I mean in the car not at the local playground.

I've just been for a a toddle to the local shop .

is that legal ?

Sorry Stu, but this is balls. If the pitch is playable, it should go ahead.

I'm all for fan safety and what not, but it's up to the fans to make the decision to travel or not. Slap in the face for those that made the effort.

Remember a game about 25 years ago away at Everton where conditions were far worse and that went ahead complaint free.

 

[Marty]

No need for it to be off, it's not even bad.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

So any news from club or is it just BBC?
