You do talk some bollux...and the match wasn’t called off by the police anyway, it was called off on the advice of Derby City Council and SAG.
Nothing to do with the referee because the pitch was perfectly playable, it was all about access which, because it was a) a lunchtime kick off and b) a Sunday meant that road conditions were much worse than they might have been by later in the afternoon or on a weekday.
You maybe didn’t have much snow in the urban wasteland of Nottinem but it’s not just the football that’s better in Derby...the countryside is more spectacular too and, in snowy conditions rather more demanding. I know I’d written off any hope of getting to the ground and local schools were shut the following day as well. Do be careful of that straw slipping through your fingers.
