Hmmm, not looking good. The sun is out here in Tameside but I'm not sure they have sun in Wigan.

It will be off...... wigan and Bolton council in their wisdom decided to use a new salt water solution instead instead of grit....... only someone needed to tell them..... that when it's been stored, you need to stir it as all the salt settles at the bottom....... so what essentially they've done is spray water on the roads........how clevers that....?

Making a decision soon apparently after judging the state of the roads for Health and Safety reasons.

I expect it to be postponed, which would be a shame as I fancy us to nick it tonight.

its poo, sod health and safety.
who cares, bring back the good old days.
i bet people used to sledge it to matches?
and have snow fights too.

It's off, officially.

Shit.

I think we should have Health & safety inspection on whether we should go to work....! in which case that should be postponed too ???

It's Off!

Monday's Premier League match between Wigan and Bolton has been called off because the freezing weather has made the areas around the DW Stadium unsafe.
Wigan, however, stressed that their pitch is perfectly playable.
But the police and Wigan's safety team concluded that conditions outside the stadium are too treacherous for those supporters planning to attend the game.
Severe weather warnings have been issued and the public advised to make only essential journeys.
In a statement on their website Wigan said: "The club wishes to apologise to all its supporters, and the supporters of Bolton, but their safety is of paramount importance."

Well that has just ruined christmas for me,I knew something would.

I just slipped on Tesco car park...... where the bloody hell was there health & safety officer....?

this country is a bloody joke.....!

Back in the "good old days" very few drove. Everyone got on the bus/train and then legged it to the game; so no Health & Safety issues there. However...

...In the good old days the pitches were so atrocious that the games were postponed due to frozen, waterlogged or flooded pitches or dense fog.

So you see, with modern times and technology you have a whole new set of problems.

That's Megson given yet another lifeline then. I've never known a jammier dodger than The Artful One.
