Dyche just confirmed the undersoil heating is on so not sure where this crap is coming from

It’s definitely the right decision.

Our squad at 100% risk of hypothermia standing stock still for 90 mins.

relegate them shocking

 

[Hotspurpaul]

Fuckin unbelievable, game called off in November at a premiership ground. Will fall even further behind.

 

[Yid_1984]

Hope all the games are postponed till after the Jan transfer window during which Conte would bring some decent players in

There is also fan safety as well. If the areas aren't cleared properly around the stadium then matches also get called off.

I can't even remember the game now, it was so long ago, but Spurs put out a message to fans asking for volunteers to help clear the snow around the ground once so the game could go ahead, probably 20yrs ago??? On that day there was no issue about the pitch being ready.

Cancelling with roughly 30mins til KO avoids none of that though; you've still got 30k people trudging round that area of Burnley (possibly many of them already in the stadium by then).

its burnley the back end of nowhere, i dont think they have cars yet either

 

[kolyid]

It’s obvious Burnley wanted it postponed because they are missing like 5 players.

 

[CarrieFi]

So apparently they DO have heating, did they turn it on though?

They may have it on, but is it “ working “

 

[Airfixx]

surely whoever was travelling to the game has already

can’t believe they have no undersoil heating. It should be requirement for a top flight team. Troglodytes.

All that sweet TV money..... You'd think it should be a directive established between the EPL and the TV companies.... Calling games off must cos them both a fortune!

They didn't even provide a line-up at their Twitter page... Something's really fishy.

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Burnley can't control the fucking weather.

Some of you are mental.

probably the netto of undersoil heating, only works when it wants

 

[Go on son]

We should be awarded the 3 points. Joke

 

[sammyspurs]

2021 and not to have undersoil heating, do they have electricity too

Could have just covered the pitch a couple days ago, highly doubt the soil is frozen solid

It does look pretty fishy.
Gobbygonk will be on the case.

I don't know mate, I don't know what's specified in the safety agreements of hosting an event with 30k people attending, but I can absolutely confirm that it's part of the equation of calling off a game. In the example I gave it was the only threat to the game being called off, there was no issue with the pitch.
