Castleford showed you how it should be done on Sunday with promptly postponing the match before the Pie fans would be making their way over. Maybe that's another lesson you could learn off Cas.

Castleford postponed the Wigan fixture because of a frozen pitch and ice on the spectator areas and approaches. Wakefield's pitch and surroundings were acceptable right up to the abandonment. Compare Wakefield doing the same two weeks earlier if you need.
The weather throughout the day around Belle Vue was nothing worse than the occasional snow shower with intermittent sunshine. I live within 2 miles of the ground and was looking out of the window throughout the day.
Wakefield got caught out by an extreme freak weather condition. Bore off! Jonno the whimp?

TBH watching the football scores coming in between 3-5 and pictures and reports of the snow coming down at various locations then it was pretty obvious it was going to hit Wakefield around that time. Weather reports I saw earlier in the day had very high probabilities of snow throughout the evening in Leeds and you're only down the road.

The Wakefield club, and to a lesser extent the referee, showed a lot of ineptitude regarding Saturday's farce.

A quick check of the weather forecast would have seen what was coming so had it been called off earlier, it would have saved much inconvenience for your fans, and inparticular the Widnes fans, who wasted money out of their wages travelling a fair distance only to witness what became an embarrassment to the sport.

For the record, Widnes fans have been slaughtering the Wakefield club on other sites over this.

Castleford showed you how it should be done on Sunday with promptly postponing the match before the Pie fans would be making their way over. Maybe that's another lesson you could learn off Cas.

Jonno The Great Whinger...if you can be bothered to go back to page 6 of this thread, you will see that the weather forecast kept changing throughout the day - at 11.06am the BBC were forecasting heavy snow for 7.00 pm for Wakefield...at 11.27am they were forecasting no snow at all for Wakefield at 7.00pm.
As has been stated above, one hour before kick off there was hardly any snow at all on the pitch, it was only after 25 minutes that the blizzard started

Are you always so embarrassingly over sensitive to other views and opinions?

The amount of replies to my very fair earlier post shows just how sensitive this lot really are.

The Liverpool fans of RL??
