I know Windass is attracting championship and premier league interest and with him being out of contract in the summer, it's likely they'll sell in January. That's the only positive I can come up with about tomorrow's postponement.

I was thinking this before, they'd have at least 3 games to play potentially without their best player, something I'm sure Coleman is aware of and not too happy about hence why he's ranting about us playing our games.

By not calling it off now they are encouraging 1000+ people to travel into an area that has very poor driving conditions, not good.

Just before the kendal turn off there was a section closed apart from an emergency lane as a car had crashed and spun around facing the oncoming traffic in the middle lane. Very dangerous. Between penrith and Lancaster the motorway was like a lake.

I thought a county ref could do it on the day of the game as well if the matchday ref wasnt going to be there early enough. Would the matchday ref have been there today at half 8?

Wwll if that's the case then it's pretty stupid. Sometimes it's obvious from pictures that football can't be played and there's absolutely no need for a ref to travel to a stadium at the crack of dawn. I doubt we needed a referee to inspect Brunton Park before postponing our upcoming match, or to decide that the pitch wasn't playable for the Notts county match.

Today's Ref was from Lancashire, Jeremy Simpson. Probs went early to P-P it so he could get on the Sherry!
