Am I right in thinking that it isn't just the pitch we have to worry about, but access, carparks etc?

The spectating area's will probably be the major cause of any problems, especially the Western Terrace, seeing as it's uncovered. But there's also the access, etc, yes; I know Arsenal's cup tie was postponed last night due to the poor conditions around the ground, rather than anything under Arsenal's control.

Leeds need to make a decision early on Friday taking into consideration those travelling up from Wales.

Making a decision at 6:30pm is not acceptable.

That was also the main reason the Bradford game was called off on Monday.

I agree, but what happens if the forecasts are wrong and it starts tipping it down at 5? Whilst it's always best to make these decisions in plenty of time, sometimes circumstances dictate people will get inconvenienced. I'd rather the game gets called of at 7.45 than the players risk serious injury.

Of course, the fact the games on Sky, and it's the first game of the season, shouldn't have a bearing on proceedings, but.............................

Look at the pitch and surrounding areas in the morning and if they're crap, call it off.

Maybe do that Friday morning, but Thursday's a bit early I think.
