Take a look at the games off section on Ceefax.I think you'll find that the cold snap hasn't just been isolated to Accrington !!
No its freezing here.

And yes there are games off all over the country. But then Accrington isn't all over the country is it, Accrington is Accrington. Different places have had different weather and you'll find a lot of these other matches are off because the pitches were already frozen rock solid.

HOWEVER, yours had thawed, was not rock solid, and was perfectly playable yesterday. All you had to do was negiotate through one freezing night. I found it incredible that your club were saying "not expecting any problems and the pitch is fine" in view of the forecast for last night.

It should have been an absolute no brainer to cover the entire pitch, and the fact that you didn't do this makes me suspicious.

Bury's match is on - they covered their pitch.

If you had covered your pitch and it had still frozen, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
