That’s ridiculously late. Gotta feel for the Watford fans who made the journey only to have to go home again without watching a game. Hull is not exactly a place you’d want to go at the best of times. |  |

Oof! A quick Google shows that as a 360 mile round trip. |  | | |

That's a weird one. What areas "around the playing surface" affects player safety? The dugout? |  |

Wow. Completely unreasonable for both sets of fans, Watford in particular. |  |

I guess they are worried about players sliding off the pitch and skidding across ice then hitting advertising boards.
With two recent incidents of that happening badly, you would have thought it would have been in the club's risk assessment form to check a bit earlier than 2.55pm. Terrible stadium management. | |

Not a bad outcome for us - 2 of our direct competitors also needing to fit another midweek fixture in. |  |

So in the Championship one match postponed due to the undersoil heating failing and one where it did work but the surrounding areas were deemed unsafe. I won't bother with the Portsmouth one. | | | |

And you’ve got NFL fans in Buffalo shoveling three feet of snow for $20 an hour to get the game on. Hull: sorry, bit of frost at the side of the pitch. | |

You forget, the UK simply isn't geared up for any kind of extreme weather.
Airports, rail all shut with a flurry of snow or ice.
Why would sports be any different? |  |

This isn't extreme weather though, is it? It's just a bit of frost, not even extreme low temperatures either.
I agree with you argument if we'd seen a load of snow, or -10 degrees, as our infrastructure isn't set up for that. | |

I’d love to see some footballers who wear gloves when it’s 12 degrees attempt to play in Buffalo or Chicago outside in December. | |

i'd love to see some wide receivers play without their layers of padding on a cold tuesday night in stoke! | |
