Let's hope the advisory meeting can't be held tomorrow because of snow so they can't cancel the game.

I'll be well annoyed if the match is cancelled, as it's a guaranteed 3 points at this stage.

That being says, the Arsenal result will soften the blow a bit.

Feck me, are we calling this stuff heavy snow? How soft have we become?

Decision deferred, another meeting at 11:45, looking up chaps.

I found a £30 Travelodge in Warrington and travelled up last night to avoid any traffic issues. It's slushy snow and raining at the moment. Can't see it being called off at all. Unless the advisory group are all Evertonians

An Amber alert for that??? Jez this whole weather warning BS needs a rethink. Fingers crossed it starts to melt by lunchtime.

What is the guidance for cancelling games nowadays for snow? In the 90's/00's went to PL games in a couple of inches of snow on the streets and around the grounds. Also went to Chsmpionship / League 1 games or equivalent level where they cleared snow from 18 yard boxes and the lines and played like that, in those days if the pitch weren't frozen it was fine.

Obviously times have changed health and safety of the players has become more important, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing although the increase in the amount of football being played means postponed games could cause other issues for players and clubs, but I'm just trying to figure out when the transition occurred? Is the threshold weather warnings now?

About the same time folk became social media drama queens. The amount of snow that once had you just grabbing a shovel to clear a footpath now is deemed an OMG world stopping moment.

I live in Norway at the moment - that wouldn’t be stopping any football games here

We aren’t prepared for snow the same way though
