On the road to no where
Never going to be on!
I'm so shocked at that news, I'm may have to lie down!

If they cancel Fulham-Pompey I will cry. It's bad enough I won't get to see Bobby Z.
I particularly like this part of the story on the club site:
A local referee was due to inspect the pitch at 1pm, but due to the treacherous road conditions could not make it to the stadium...

I think you only need to look at the photo to realise there's no chance of the pitch being playable on Saturday

Thanks Greens :(
I've got tickets for that and personally won't be too bothered if it's off. Would rather get to the re-arranged game safe and sound
Clubs always get shit from fans over pitch inspections, so it's only fair that the club gets a lot of credit for doing this.
Much better to call it now with the knowledge that the weather won't improve, unlike the situation at Wallsall last year, where they almost swore blind it would be on and the near farcical pitch inspection situation at Torquay last week.

Absolutely.
This is a good call by all concerned. The Walsall call-off last year was farcical - I was just about to leave when I found out, and I only live 9 miles away. I felt sorry for the fans that were already in Birmingham before they found out.

I was joking btw.

Club website states that all ticket holders that can't attend the rearranged game can get a refund, surley that will include STH's aswell?

Well we were going through Coventry when we found out the game was off.
Went to Birmingham anyway, fairly lengthy pub crawl and then back to London for more beers in the evening.
Rather a good day not ruined by the football.

Let's not forget what a disaster Torquay nearly was. No one expected that match to be off. The gates should have opened at 1.30, were kept closed until 2.15, it was very nearly called off by the ref.
But you saw the dilemma they face with that one. Call it off early, perhaps unecessarily, but stop fans getting there. Or give it every chance, but if you then have to call it off late everyone's pissed off. It's virtually no-win. Luckily it all worked out on Saturday.
