I'll be surprised if the Ref will risk it particularly given distance Wigan would have to travel and being mindful that the pitch was described as dangerous on Saturday. I think I'd rather go when the weather is a bit warmer so I'll not be disappointed.

There's a big area of the pitch that gets little sun at this time of year, without heaters it will be like concrete. probably a slight exaggeration but know what you mean. Yeah, I was at a local game Sunday afternoon, a tiny corner of the pitch that got no sun was rock hard while the rest of it was fine

If the covers have been on the pitch may be passable at 12.30. Trouble is we are facing temperatures below freezing this evening and if the game starts it runs the risk of abandonment.
Best to call it off now.

There's no way I'm sitting in -2 with a wind chill bringing it down to -6 for 2 hours tonight. Call me lightweight whatever but I've done my part for the last 45 years to warrant a night in a warm house.
Up the Gas.

See you all at the game.

Good to have an early decision and I think the right one.

The thought of sitting in that cold with an easterly wind blowing up my trouser leg was filling me with dread. Thank god common sense has prevailed and the game is off. Now that we know that your house is nice and warm, we can all pop round to yours and enjoy an evening of sparkling conversation, cutting edge wit and repartee instead - get some beers in!!!!!

grab a bovril and enjoy the match you much of snowflakes! I hate that new term “snowflakes” - just a media driven buzz word. Sounds like something a snowflake would say!

I'm guessing it's worse down south then. I'm teaching in Wetherby and they have a school football match going on. We had snow this morning but the sun has been out intermittently. Maybe right now it's good for us to have it postponed. We haven't been at our best in the last couple of games and could do with getting Ollie Clarke back fit as he balances our midfield. Ellis was far from 100% fit on Saturday either. We may have been set for a tonking tonight had the game gone ahead.
