I'm not going. After spending the best part of last week snowed in (after 3 days the village shop was out of provisions and by Saturday we were reduced to re-using our last tea bag and milking the dog) I only just managed to get to the JJB and back on Sunday. I think I'll give the icey wastelands of Hull a miss. I lived there once so I know exactly what it can get like!

Makes no difference to me. That's only the time the coach is leaving. I'll be in the pub for 12 so come 3:45 I probably won't be bothered

Sneeze of snow and I bet they call it off.

Could be worse. In the 1962-63 season Wigan had 12 matches in a row postponed and went without a game for 76 days (Christmas to March) because of bad weather. This County has gone soft!

ps If they did call it off I suspect they'd try again on Sunday.
