A bit of that definitely goes on down there on a busy weekend night. I never win enough to afford much more than an overpriced Amstel and a sausage roll.You must get the munters.

Tesco don't have steep stands made of concrete that are slippy at the best of times

They also provide an essential service.
It's just a football match, it doesn't matter if it's on or not. People's safety is more important.

Sure it would be more than that for a classic car?

I though it would be on to be honest but I accept it isn't and think it could work in our favour.
Can't understand why people are getting so stressed out about it, (accept for maybe covisgod, bit of a pisser for the likes of him).

The suggestion being that the game was on and they had no reason to think otherwise clever man
Probably tucking into a free banquet.
Is the teamsheet out yet?

If the pitch is playable and both teams and officials can make it to the ground then play the game.
If some fans decide they don't want to go because of conditions then tough shit for them isn't it.

you say that in jest but:
looks as though Nick is up there looking for clues!

Where there's a will there's away.
If that's their pitch then the stands must be the same.

Went to get some shopping, nothing else to do. Absolutely rammed in Tescos as well.
Going to bust the slow cooker out in a minute as well, hopefully there will be a clue.

Millwall v Sunderland and all the fans travelling there? Stoke Southampton, Bournemouth Leicester?
People seem to just dismiss this as if their fans don't have any travelling to do whatsoever.

Madness how Carlisle can still be on, fans driving from Grimsby to there.
Weird how they posted this, then deleted it to post about it being due to the roads then deleted that one.

Disappointed it's off but me and the lad are both a bit under the weather and it saves me rushing later to get to Spamalot at the Belgrade
That was Robert Palmer! B-)

Hmmm... Sunderland to Millwall is 279 miles and a 4 hrs 45 minute journey.
Would love to know all the underground tunnels they are using.
We should definitely have been able to get the game on today. The pics from inside the stadium show little or no problem at all and the journey down would have been fine.

And that's the decision of those clubs/police forces. The relevant authorities have decided it's safer not to play our game, the exact same decision that's been made at Villa, Wolverhampton, etc.

Am waiting for the wife to finish work so we can drive to lincoln to look for clues along the way.

Yes, but yesterday they were really confident we would be on. The temperature has risen and all we have had is snow which can easily be removed.
If Carlisle can remove their snow (seemingly a lot worse), then why can't we.
All seems very feeble and the Lincolnshire police said driving down was fine.

By your logic then the accident at Alton Towers should not mean the entertainment company is not liable?

I’m afraid this is just nonsense.
Let’s dispel one myth. This will have nothing to do with Lincoln. They cannot influence this decision.
The ground and stands were cleared yesterday. Then we had the most snowfall all week accumulated in around 4 hours from 3.
So there was work needed to be done today and the stands were not safe at the point of inspection.
Given there was an unusually large amount of away fans coming that became a factor. If there was any doubt at all it had to be called off to avoid unnecessary travel.
I don’t know why your showing distances fans travel today as you are missing the point. The point would be if millwall fans turned up and found there was an inspection at 2 and it was called off - would that be acceptable?

Here's what would have happened:
1st minute. Good start from City. McNulty beats his man and hits the side netting
4. Burge hoofs to no one
8. Nick screaming for subs
10. Why is Robins playing for a draw?
12. Burge kicks to no one
14. Haynes is doing the windmil and not concentrating
23. Swindon haven't scored yet
28. STILl no subs
33. We need Reid on for anyone
38. Even Vincenti's would be better than this group of. Idiots
44. We better change things up at half time. 2 mins added
45. It's a good job we're a second half team
46. Still no fucking changes
52. Robins out
54. Shut up Grendel
58. PENALTY. Shipley trips over JCL's leg
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS McNulty

PUSB
I knew we would win
60. I feel an equalizer coming
62. Time for Biamou
64. What was that?
68. Why do we always go ahead and park the bus?
73. Why can't Doyle make a pass?
75. They should have scored
76. Stokes is a Twat
80. WTF. Still no subs
83. FFS
Saw it coming
We should have gone for it
There's still time
Come on City
84. Kelly-Evans coming on
Anyone but K. E.

If they had asked the fans to help this morning we could have had it all cleared and okay to play.
If Carlisle could do it why couldn't we?
I know a lot of games have been called off, but they were nearly all called off yesterday and the conditions were much worse in many parts of the country than here.
The temperature has risen today and was predicted to rise. All we have had is a fair bit of snow. The game could have gone ahead with a bit of effort I'm sure.

It needed more bodies. Fans I am sure would have gone along to help.
Carlisle fans helped clear their stadium.
