IT'S A FARCE!
Sometimes the rules leave you scratching your head, our ground is under 2 to 3 inches of snow but we can't call it off until tomorrow.
A club that plays in the championship (Crystal Palace) have had a pitch inspection today and their game with Doncaster Rovers is off because the pitch is unfit.
We are a non-league club and players and match officials could have the opportunity to work this weekend if we would have been allowed to call the game off today.
We have got to go through the formality of having a pitch inspection tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly! I see where the league are coming from in the fact that the system could be open to abuse if clubs could call games off on a regular basis before the match day.
But why on earth they cannot make exceptions when the conditions are so obviously going to stop a match taking place is beyond me.
Surely, with photographic evidence as well as getting a referee to inspect the day before in situations like this would be more sensible for reasons that you have stated above.
If you look on our website, you'll see our pictures show exactly the same situation!
