I reckon we do the same to a club.. and let ATS justify it to the away fans.
I didnt travel on saturday (part timer etc..) due to a family bereavement. My dad actually joked it may be called off at midday anyway. Feel for those who travelled all that way.

Before getting all smart please be aware that it has happened at Moss Lane in the not TOO distant past where a Local Official declared it playable (At the time, assuming that the weather would be as forecast and the thaw would continue) The Match Official then arrived, went out to warm up, slipped on the icy bit which sadly hadn't thawed sufficiently and called the game off.
The away fans, whilst clearly none too pleased, accepted the circumstances (actually better than the Home fans who had just walked up from the Bridge)
