That's unfortunate. However, given the weather, you'd have thought they would have made enquiries about whether the game was on and found some way of being alerted as soon as it was confirmed so they could turn back?

Has the club never thought of covers or hot air blowers ! very unprofessional way to approach a fixture at this time of year and it wasn't even that cold last nite
Yes, the club has thought of covers and hot air blowers. Both have been used in the past and may have been used this time too, I don't know. Do you think the club postponed the game just to annoy people? Or perhaps having assessed the situation and weighed all the factors up made the best decision in plenty of time so people could plan their day accordingly?
I had a look at my back garden in the afternoon and whilst the sun had melted the frost on top, the earth underneath was very hard. The temp was only about 1 or 2, it needs to get up to about 5 or 6 to properly soften the ground. Absolutely pointless risking injury for a friendly and blowers probably wouldn't have made much difference, especially on the south stand side that doesn't get much sun in the winter.
So it's a sunday game,the shop is open for 3 hours before kick off. The game is postponed at 10am,therefore no 3pm kick off,therefore no shop opening 3 hours before. Simple really. Isn't it? 
there is a way of ringing the shop direct trust me
