It's more of a headache for Leeds. Now they have 2 extra fixtures to fit in.

Bit of daft post. it does help out with more rest for key players to shake off injuries though which is good for Wakefield.

There were 30+ volunteers working hard from around 10am yesterday to get the game on. There have also been people down the ground this morning from 8am trying to get the game on. We dont have undersoil heating like rhino's but the pitch is clear. The issue is not with wakefields attempts inside the ground but the fact that it dropped in temperature overnight freezing thawing surfaces and creating ice. The areas around the ground were cleared but the club cannot dictate the weather conditions and to ensure safe conditions for supporters the game was called off by the match comissioner NOT WAKEFIELD !!!

Big thanks to all of you that gave your time to try and help the club get the game on see you all on friday down at cas

Don't bother with him he's not worth it.

Got to love all the conspiracy theories - the game was called off by the match commissioner with, I imagne, some input from the relevant authorities; there is more to consider than whether the pitch is clear! I'd wager that some of those people who say that the safety of spectators is their own responsibility would be the first to bang in a claim when they slipped on a bit of ungritted pavement.

If you find yourself thinking that there is something sinister going on here, I'd suggest that you find something to do with your time - you've got too much of it on your hands.

Ant1's post surely a candidate for Dum'ass ( or should that be dum'rhino ? ) post of 2013 , methinks.

Myself I think they called this abit too early, with it only been Leeds they could have had a 12 o clock inspection. Mind you the outcome would probably of been no different.

Memo to the RFL; Next time you want to rearrange a fixture within 48 hours of the original match, you might want to watch something called a "Weather Forecast" first. It was clear to me that with all the snow that fell on Friday night and indeed yesterday, coupled with the ice forming underfoot that there was absolutely no chance whatsoever of this match going ahead this weekend. As for the ill-informed whino who has the nerve to come on here and accuse our club of "not even trying to get the game on" needs to get real and facts right. In a statement on his beloved whinos website, Leeds have actually praised the "outstanding effort made by the ground staff and volunteers" of the Wakefield club to try and get the match on. Still, it saves a fixture pile up.

The areas in the sun are starting to thaw but anything in the shade are still very icy. Sadly many of the areas around the ground are out of the sunlight so its just too dangerous. Can't say i'm too upset as its bitterly cold out there.

Gives the guys chance to be fit and fresh for the easter games at least.

I admit nothing can be done about the weather but why do we start so early I went to the stoop yesterday the pitch was waterlogged it was terrible conditions and thats called summer rugby. Correct me if im wrong but im sure when the firstv super league match in the summer league was played paris v sheffield it was april were 8 rounds into the season. Weather permitting see you all on easter monday

Parking would have been a nightmare in the surrounding streets. Also now clubs offer pre-match hospitality it would have meant that they would have been well on the way with the catering and then the match called off!

Its not the pitch or the stadium that stopped it but whats around it, maybe you live on a main road but the estates are pretty bad with ice, a lack of parking locally due to the ice and poor under foot, the pitch like I say was fine. The council only maintain the main routes in the main due to financial contraints and the sheer volume of work it would take once off the main routes.

Perhaps it was a conspiracy between the RFL and SL who are sick of you whining whinos and the drum fuelled forward shouting supporters?
I expect Sinfield to be fitted up in a news of the world type sting operation in the coming days.
The authorities asked us and we were happy to oblige - that said it could have been any other club, such is the rhinos popularity!!
The real story of course is we have been holding a beach party down at a possitively tropical BV!!
Chump!!!
