| It hasn't snowed for about 3 hours and even then it was light. I'm pretty close to the ground and most of the snow has melted. It just seems strange we didn't wait until around about 2ish to decide.

I think you'll find a major factor in the decision was a financial one. The reduction in attendance that the weather would have brought would hit the club hard and thats something that it can't afford. Lets hope it improves for sunday.

Yes. The 19 man squad announcement isn't really a hard a fast law of the game, it is just a SL guideline that clubs all abide by to keep things transparent and uphold the integrity of team selection. The laws state that you should post your team selection on the door of your dressing room and hand a copy to the MC at least 60 minutes before scheduled KO and you can only deviate from that team with permission from the MC, so a player being injured in the warm-up is the most common example. The final team selection does not strictly have to have come from the 19 man squad, but questions might be asked by the MC if players were seemingly deliberately concealed as being available for selection if they were not in the 19 and if indeed they end up playing. As such, if Agar did feel that a couple of extra days might mean that a player could be available for the re-arranged fixture who was not in the previously announced squad for tonight, then I would expect him to make this publicly known today so the Leeds management would be aware of a possible change for Sunday. The same of course works the other way around.

| It could actually count against us in regards team selection. Anyone carrying a knock, maybe like Ali or Poore, who has been struggling to recover in time for the following weeks game now has less recovery time available, making it more of a risk playing them. Om paper Cas is probably a more winnable game than the champions so Agar will have to make an informed decision on whether to play them and risk them missing Good Friday.

| Quote: Trinity Till Death "Playing tonight would be beneficial to us, in that we get a longer rest than Cas going into the eater weekend games. Generally, i would say we should play on a Sunday but on this instance i'd say it's bad all round. The last thing you want is plenty of games in few days especially with all the injuries we have.'"
I too was going to have a rant until it was pointed out that it would have given us a longer break.

30 Years of watching Wakey has made me that way!
Point is though would you risk someone who isn't 100% or save them and target the Cas game?

I still think it shouldn't have been called off at 11am. Right now, it's light snow (if even that), if the pitch is playable which it should be and the roads and paths are safe which they should be then why call it off? If it carries on like 'this' then it'll be fine.

Its rather heavy snow in the centre of Wakey, and doesn't look like letting up either.

TBF I'm in Bradford and it's bad so I'm assuming it is heading your way - I honestly wouldn't risk it, 25 years of watching and it's never worked out well.

Really? I'm just in Eastmoor and it's light here. If that's the case then fair enough, but i stand by i don't think we should have rushed to call the game off at 11am. If at say 2 or 3 there was nothing the club could do to play the game then it's out of our hands. It just seemed rather 'easy' to call it off and whilst rearranged for Sunday, it's highly unlikely that it'll be played then too

| I'm in Lupset and its like a blizzard, has been for the last 40 minutes and has been snowing steadily all day before that.
The main problem isn't the pitch or the roads it's the terracing
