Postponed Matches in the Premier League???
Saturday, 10 January 09, 02:54 PM · Comments(4)
Forgetting the rather dull but welcome result against Bolton today it seems that the richest and best (according to the English media anyway) league in the world still can't guarantee that matches actually take place. I know we've been accustomed to Highbury's undersoil heating since time began but surely clubs such as Fulham and Portsmouth could do the right thing and spend a few quid on a system that enables fans to see the game.
I find it quite incredulous that Premier League clubs aren't mandated to ensure that they do everything possible to ensure that matches aren't postponed except under extreme circumstances. It seems that they will be happy to waste millions on wages/transfer fees but not £250,000 on an under pitch heating system.
Shame on you!!

I think that both of these clubs will be in trouble with the League as a result.
I'm not too happy with them as it has messed up my Fantasy Premier League team.
If I'm not mistaken, the temperature at kickoff wasn't even below freezing. In the US, NFL games are regularly played in much, much worse conditions, and in much colder weather. I don't see what the difference is TBH.
Perhaps the Premier League should investigate why Rob Styles doesn't have any warmer clothing.
If they're going to start investigating maybe they should look into Richard Keyes being the missing link.
