Please Mr Referee - call it off now!

Mr Referee, whoever you, please call the game off now and save us all a lot of heartache.

I have a 60 mile journey to get there and have just measured 9 inches of snow in my garden and it is still snowing - and forecast to do so for the next 24 hours.

Even if the pitch can be cleared, what chance the stands being 'safe'?

Sorry to be a misery, but lets be sensible here.

Totally agree, I have to make a 75 mile journey, at present, I can't even drive out of my driveway.

Also need to consider whether the Peterborough coach could make it through the snow

If it is the stands but the pitch is playable then the safety officer will call the game off. Looks grim though.

we have a 3 1/2 hour journey no snow here but i wont be making the trip unless conditions improve across country

Forecast is clear skies tonight, then sleet showers tomorrow. Might as well use a local referee and call it off now.

I see the club site is now saying that the game is in 'extreme doubt'. That feeels like only one step away from postponement.

Not sure if Mill road will be passable. Other more main roads in town are impassable (Elm Grove, Southover Street and Bear road to name a few)
Im sure its in the T&C's that we need to have the park and ride operating to play a match or am i wrong??

guys, the club will do everything possible to get the game on and it cant be called off right now. As the website says they (and i!) will look at the situation throughout the day and everyone is keen to avoid a late decision.

27 odd hours notice is probably sufficient.
