Full enquiry underway, they'll be checking phones and everything ... I'm actually pretty peeved that we'll only be credited with a 3-0 win as I had a bet on for 4

The EFL have just asked both clubs for their observations, it's standard procedure after a late cancellation, it's unlikely they'll be calling in Sherlock Holmes.
If Keith Hackett says there should be a full enquiry then you can be sure there will be, his influence is massive.
An enquiry in any form would be welcome in my view.Somebody has screwed up big time and the paying punter has been left picking up the tab.The truth should be visible to all.
Deary me, now you're insulting my NEBOSH. Of course he has that power.
Safety Officers don’t have the authority to call games off, you cretin.
My understanding is that a safety officer can call a game off over concerns for fan safety?
made a new account, just for this. Hope the re-scheduled game gets called off now and all.
Safety officer can as Rik said if it's over fan safety ( something outside the ground or in the stands etc ) , but seen as this was the technical area, I'm not sure what influence they'd have in this situation
Let's hope so. Can't be arsed with a reaquaintance with you tossers again this season
Sorry mate, not just for the public a club's safety officer's responsibilies extend to the clubs employees and to the visiting teams.
Should certainly be an enquiry. A few Watford conspiracy theorists will he left disappointed when it shows that it was all down to utter incompetence, and over zealous health and safety regs, rather than a full blown conspiracy to call the game off though.
I'll be honest.....from my view in the south stand, down by the SE corner, the run up and down the touchline looked really quite treacherous solid and icy, and I can't imagine that either of the linos would have been looking forward to running up and down that for 90 mins, suspect the touchline on the west stand was similar too. I did think even before the cancelation that it looked a bit ropey for those challenges where players end up running or getting pushed off the pitch.
I'm sure most of our doorsteps have been in a similar condition over the last fortnight or so...My weapon of choice is Saxa table salt,it's difficult to understand why our ground staff failed to utilise it instead of a blowtorch?
Very cold war Russia. The truth is usually far less "exciting" I'm afraid. The club has ****ed up, which surprises very few of us these days. But that's as far as it goes.
