Warfield Royal When the Liverpool v Arsenal match was postponed was it solely down to the Referee?

Does anyone know of any rules are guidelines for a match to be postponed due to fog and does the Premier League have their own rules?

How bad should visibility be before YOU as a spectator would want the match postponed?

For a one off match affected by fog I would be happy as long as I could see 1 goal and half the pitch.


For fog the ref has to be able to see both goals from the Centre Spot.

I was at Tranmere in 1990 when you couldnt see the other end. It was great fun convinving the fans at the other end we were 1 0 up! It finished 0-0 apparentlly


I was at that game! A bizarre watching football when you cant see the whole pitch!

I was there too. I must know you.


On the count of 3 we all start cheering, run around a bit, & then chant "1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0..." That should fool em.

Happy days :?


The hero of that night was Percy Shaw.

I just had a look at the City of Manchester Stadium on Google Earth as we are playing there in a few weeks time and it doesn't appear to be built yet. It is a construction site with cranes in place!

Maine Road is still there so maybe we are playing there!

Isn't the image on there about six months old?


Real time i belive, give me the post code of where you are now, go outside and wave up in the air, I'll zoom in and do a 'Print Scrn' then post it on here. (dont worry i'll blur your face out)


Hmmm, no, it's not as at this moment my house is shrouded in fog, whereas on Google Earth it isn't, seems to be summer actually.

Thinking about it, the Mad Stad is normally quite breezy... surely the fog should blow away. Being as there are no surrounding wind shields.

Failing that we could take a portable fan each...

But if we all did that on all four sides of the ground the fog would surely just stay there.

It needs to be organised so that the occupants of just one stand take portable fans to blow it away.

If the fans can't see the pitch then the game should be postponed.

RG30 Reading Vs Leicester, abandoned at Half Time?


I've never been so happy that a game was called off before in my life. I had only finished partying a few hours beforehand and was on a major comedown. It hurt to sit still, let alone move anywhere.

RoyalBlue Also don't forget that, unless they rely totally on sound, the assistants also have to be able to see when the ball was last played in order to make judgements on offside.


I thought they just guessed?


Do they? Damn, that's why I find it so hard running the line at my son's matches!! Shouldn't be trying to do the job properly.

Mind you, it is as quiet as an average Chelsea home game so I can usually hear the contact with the ball! :wink:
