It’s official – Blackpool have postponed Saturday’s clash with Manchester United due to a frozen pitch.
There were discussions between Blackpool, Manchester United, the Premier League and Match Officials today and it was decided that referee Peter Walton would inspect the pitch. The official was reportedly concerned that certain areas of the surface would not thaw out in time for the planned kick off tomorrow.
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand broke the news and vented his disappointment via his Twitter page…
Blackpool game tomorrow called off due to the frozen pitch, so gutted tweeps. Hope anyone who booked accommodation+hire cars gets their money back.
Earlier we reported how this would affect Fantasy Managers far and wide. A rush of team shuffling and transfers will now be expected prior to tomorrow’s Fantasy deadline.
We await a re-scheduled date for the game which will then give us the first double Gameweek of the season.
