its good for both scum get weekend off, and the last thing our team needs is a weekend off when everyone is still getting to know how Mancini wants us to play..
 
It's a fucking local derby, not playing portsmouth or someone far away. Slur alex must have called in a favour from the council.

Fuck all wrong with the ground, and I'm sure I've slipped and slided to COMS many times

Saved the rags from a double dicking though.......

It is with regret that the club can confirm that due to extreme weather conditions in the North West of England, tomorrow night’s Carling Cup semi-final tie against Manchester United has been postponed.

After discussions with the relevant parties including Greater Manchester Police, the Safety Advisory Committee, the Football League and Manchester United, the decision was unanimously reached that the game should be re-scheduled due to safety concerns ,particularly with regard to travel for supporters.

The North West Ambulance Service has declared the region as a major incident area and Greater Manchester Police are now responding to emergency calls only. The Met Office was also consulted and with projected temperatures of minus four tonight, due to drop to minus 6 on Wednesday evening, all parties agreed a postponement was the only solution. Knowing this now, it would be irresponsible to wait for tomorrow, when up to 47,000 fans would be at risk in addition to 900 staff many of whom would need to set off early, some from long distances, in advance of the decision to postpone.

An announcement will be made in due course in relation to the rescheduled date and all tickets purchased for the game will remain valid.

“It is a huge disappointment for everyone that we have had to postpone the tie but we have had the kind of harsh weather unseen in this part of the world for years and years,” explained City CEO Garry Cook.

“We pursued every avenue possible in search of a solution and whilst the pitch is still playable, what was paramount in our thinking was the safety of fans travelling to and from the game especially in light of the sub-zero temperature forecast for Wednesday night.

“In the end everyone who was part of the discussions was unanimous that it would have been too dangerous to play the game as scheduled.”
