It's a great comment in retrospect. Trouble is, it's not like taking the teams off in a hailstorm or really torrential rain, because those kind of conditions tend to abate after a few minutes, but fog can linger and although it lifted a little initially, it could well have come down again, and if it had, what then? Another 10 minute delay later on? I think the ref decided that if the players were coming off, they were coming off for good.

The fog went 15mins after (the twit) David Foster called the game off.

Martin Allen requested that the game should have been delayed for 15/20 mins. I've spent good money and 8 hours + time to get to that game yesterday, I wouldn't have mind to wait another 20mins!

From the North Stand, the fog was worse in the 1st half than the 2nd... :?

As I said elsewhere, it was the glare from the floodlights as it got dark that caused the problem. A bit like driving in fog, if you put main beam on, you'll see less. I think it is a disgrace that our club haven't planned for this event and installed 'dipped floodlights'

So how did that work out then?

Keith - how dare you steal my copyrighted comment of dipped floodlights from the debate in the York on Saturday - I claim my 20p royalty fee off you right now ;) ;) ;)
