Feel sorry for the travelling fans. Sadly another midweek trip to be arranged

Not with hindsight but was always very unlikely to be on. Hopefully the travelling fans can somehow make the best of it

Got to the ground at 1400,it was 3 degrees with a lot of snow and ice in the overflow carpark everywhere else looked fine.So much for Coopers interview,where he slacked off the game being postponed last week.

Incredibly, one of the few matches in the lower leagues that did go ahead was Buxton v Hereford. I bet there weren't any travelling fans.

No great surprise there:

Pitch inspection at 1pm. Currently 2c but was -5c overnight... Must be a doubt, even with the covers they put on

A bit late  now. Did they really not know until one o'clock? It's not like there was a deluge or anything like with our game.

Still glad I went though! And we'd have been up to sixth with a win.

Apparently all the players were happy to turn out on that pitch, but the referee wasn't having any of it. Yeovil's chairman is absolutely seething, and intends to submit a formal complaint to PGMOL who control the appointment of officials.

I could only see so much looking through the gate, but that's probably the best "unplayable" pitch I've seen - even better than at Torquay that time!

Yeovil will have lost £5-10k with game not being on, so of course they want to play. Referee's have final say, and they won't risk it these days if there is any doubt to safety.

Shame for all traveling fans. But the weather decides ultimately.
