There's a list of league games off here, which seems to be self-updating.

My Saturday Cup semi-final is off. Sunday football is off. The fallback option of Braintree-Southport is off too, as are Wimbledon, Barnet and Brentford.

I was going to go to Wimbledon tomorrow, but that's off. Back-up plans all seem to have pitch inspections tomorrow morning, which is an utter pain in the arse.

If you've ever seen The Day After Tomorrow then a similar cold snap has just occurred over East Anglia, causing the Ipswich pitch to freeze solid in 45 minutes flat and resulting ion the game being abandoned at half time.

I'm not sure it happened over 45 minutes, considering it was -13 last night in Ipswich. The pitch passed two inspections today.

Curious that, and here was me thinking there might be more to it than incompetence of the officials.

Meanwhile, poor old Bath, having being told that the game at Gateshead was on, made the journey all the way to the North-East, only to see the game called off at 2pm today. Will they get any compensation for that? It's a shitty thing for a part time club to have to put up with.

Conditions seem to be better in the north, though. Hartlepool went ahead, as did most Scottish games. Maybe Gateshead thought they'd get that benefit? Grossly incompetent though, I agree, but maybe the incompetence was is not keeping the ground fit?

Sheff United went ahead but Barnsley off, despite close proximity.

Will Darlo's postponement affect their survival hopes?

Only just seen this thread.

In November, Estudiantes de La Plata kicked off against Banfield in the 15th round of the Torneo Apertura. It was an Estudiantes home match but due to a concert in the Estadio Único de La Plata, was being played in Quilmes' stadium. Banfield took a very early lead, and 13 minutes in their goalkeeper hit the ground after an enormous bang (very loud even on the TV) behind him. Estudiantes barras had started throwing firecrackers onto the pitch, having previously threatened to cause a fuss at the club's refusal to give them the normal perks - free tickets and transport etc.

The match was called off and the remaining 77 minutes eventually rescheduled, and played last weekend, in La Plata.

In the corresponding time, the clubs had both sacked their managers and brought in new ones. So the match started and ended in two different stadiums, and both teams changed managers between kick off and full (or, for that matter, half) time.
