Postponed due to fog. Some pics look pretty bad, some other don't.

Did anybody go to the game (before the game obviously!).

Ref Martin Atkinson said that it was postponed because the Assistants wouldn't be able to make true judgements on offside decisions. Which is a good enough reason I think.

The fog was really bad in Merseyside yesterday.

You can't blame anyone other than the weather for this. Its very hard to predict where the fog is going to be and how dense it will be. It might have been ok then all of a sudden a big wall of cloud can appear, its bad when its like that and you have to drive in it. I still do 80-90 as i'm crazy!!!

I'll probably crash one day though.

The only pic I saw, it looked really heavy. I can see why it was postponed, you wouldn't be able to see your team-mates or thr game if you're watching from the stands.

Unlucky Arsenal fans :)

The weather forecast for this weekend in Carlisle is sunny intervals but poor visibility. Will the match be cancelled if the forecast is right?

If this fog continues I would be suprised if alot of this weeks matches are called off, which would be a shame. :(

I think this puts more pressure on Arsenal, fixtures wise. The next month or so we will have a game midweek so thats alot of physical pressure involved.

That's why i said unlucky arsenal fans, they go 300 miles up north in the freezing cold and then the game gets called off :D

What guidelines are the refs given concerning postponing games, especially due to fog?
