Without sounding old... When I was a kid we rarely shut schools due to snow. I can remember heavy snow at school and we just went and during breaks were allowed to play in it. I also remember playing football on rock hard pitches due to heavy frost. Rarely was a game postponed. Schools close at a hint of snow now, with excuses such as the paths are slippy and dangerous for the kids etc..IMO, ' we have become a nation of softies'. To ever postpone a pro game of sport due to it ' being unsafe' for fans is a joke. OK the odd time a game can't go ahead due to exceptional weather I understand due to pitch being unplayable, but never for the stands not being safe. If there is a will ( like my example in the states) grounds can be readied for fans.
Just take the last day or two.. News reports constantly about the 'bad weather' .. Really, it's December and it's raining and windy. If you listen to our news you would think we are having a hurricane.
As I said before I want the game against the Aussies to be windy, raining, or snowing..more fun.
