This bought back memories of when games went ahead during winter.. Supporters clearing pitches, games being paused to clear lines and fans walking to matches without having to be informed it was sloppy under. Snowball fights against the opposition supporters..

Canadian Premier League final: Atletico Ottawa's 'icicle kick' lights up blizzard-hit final

Atletico Ottawa win the North Star Cup with an "icicle kick" lighting up the Canadian match played that was repeatedly stopped to clear snow from the pitch.

It was a cold winter that year because I'm sure there was also an orange ball for the game v Southampton on new year's day when Whelan scored that great individual goal

It wasn't that unusual in the 70s through the 90s for all games to be off. You'd often seen the snow piled up behind the touch lines for a few weeks in a cold winter. Snow before Christmas seems very rare now but it was pretty common back then.
