A bit of that definitely goes on down there on a busy weekend night. I never win enough to afford much more than an overpriced Amstel and a sausage roll.

What happens if one of the thousands slip in Tesco on the slippier surface?

Tesco don't have steep stands made of concrete that are slippy at the best of times

They also provide an essential service.

It's just a football match, it doesn't matter if it's on or not. People's safety is more important.

I though it would be on to be honest but I accept it isn't and think it could work in our favour.
Can't understand why people are getting so stressed out about it, (accept for maybe covisgod, bit of a pisser for the likes of him).

But people are travel from all over. How many of our fans live in cv6? It goes back to if cv6 is fine, everywhere is fine therefore its safe to travel.

I'm leaving you to it, neither of us are gaining anything by this. They aren't going to suddenly change the decision because people aren't happy.

If the pitch is playable and both teams and officials can make it to the ground then play the game.

If some fans decide they don't want to go because of conditions then tough shit for them isn't it.

Where there's a will there's away.

If that's their pitch then the stands must be the same.

Went to get some shopping, nothing else to do. Absolutely rammed in Tescos as well.

Going to bust the slow cooker out in a minute as well, hopefully there will be a clue.

Game is off, there is no conspiracy theory. If someone slipped and hurt themselves the club would be liable, naturally they want to avoid that. Stop crying about it, it's the same for 19 other clubs in this league.

Millwall v Sunderland and all the fans travelling there? Stoke Southampton, Bournemouth Leicester?

People seem to just dismiss this as if their fans don't have any travelling to do whatsoever.

It is okay though and lucky that the Millwall v Sunderland local London derby is on.

All Sunderland fans need to do is just cross the street and they're there.

Hmmm... Sunderland to Millwall is 279 miles and a 4 hrs 45 minute journey.

Would love to know all the underground tunnels they are using.

We should definitely have been able to get the game on today. The pics from inside the stadium show little or no problem at all and the journey down would have been fine.

And that's the decision of those clubs/police forces. The relevant authorities have decided it's safer not to play our game, the exact same decision that's been made at Villa, Wolverhampton, etc.

Yes, but yesterday they were really confident we would be on. The temperature has risen and all we have had is snow which can easily be removed.

If Carlisle can remove their snow (seemingly a lot worse), then why can't we.

All seems very feeble and the Lincolnshire police said driving down was fine.

More the general concept that decisions are being made on our behalf.

If people want to risk travel, then they should, it's not down to CCFC, Lincoln or the Ricoh or take that decision away from people.

By your logic then the accident at Alton Towers should not mean the entertainment company is not liable?

I’m afraid this is just nonsense.

Let’s dispel one myth. This will have nothing to do with Lincoln. They cannot influence this decision.

The ground and stands were cleared yesterday. Then we had the most snowfall all week accumulated in around 4 hours from 3.

So there was work needed to be done today and the stands were not safe at the point of inspection.

Given there was an unusually large amount of away fans coming that became a factor. If there was any doubt at all it had to be called off to avoid unnecessary travel.

I don’t know why your showing distances fans travel today as you are missing the point. The point would be if millwall fans turned up and found there was an inspection at 2 and it was called off - would that be acceptable?

If they had asked the fans to help this morning we could have had it all cleared and okay to play.

If Carlisle could do it why couldn't we?

I know a lot of games have been called off, but they were nearly all called off yesterday and the conditions were much worse in many parts of the country than here.

The temperature has risen today and was predicted to rise. All we have had is a fair bit of snow. The game could have gone ahead with a bit of effort I'm sure.

It needed more bodies. Fans I am sure would have gone along to help.

Carlisle fans helped clear their stadium.
