Harpers So Solid Crew which was also incorrect as i found when i called to see if my fathers op for a new pacemaker was on for monday, non emergency, yet they had been doing the ops all week, consultants and surgeons were staying in rooms at hospital.
as always a lot of misinformation out there. The area around the ground will not have been salted after the clearance as the game was called off, so conditions that ST saw were not quite as they would have been had they made the decision to play it, also the movement of vehicles and pedestrians helps to break up the ice and turn it to slush.
Still the right decision by the club, no further need to justify.
I got to Brighton with no problems, and as can be seen by my photos of the Madstad on this thread, they had done a bit more than clear a small path, I wonder how many people are to sue Sainsburt Tesco et al for not closing and making them take a chance of injury on private land?

Harpers So Solid Crew But it was not, they were doing heart monitor replacements last wednesday , thursday and also friday, two days of which BBC Berks said ALL non emergency operations were cancelled.
I can tell you that the Jim Shahi Unit was calling patients booked in to come in for operations if they were able to, and thats from the unit themselves. BBC Berks gave out opposite information.
STAR TRAVEL Having spent the best part of the day up at the Mad Stad in the STAR HQ, I can assure you calling the game off was the only decision the club could have made.Snow is piled up and frozen, yes they have cleared a narrow path around the stadium enough for single file walking but the car parks were covered in snow and 18,000 + people trying to negotiate snow & ice was a recipe for disaster. The pitch didn't look too bad from what I could see, but as for steps and seats I can only imagine. When I left at 5.15pm you could have held dancing on ice on the road outside the East Stand, driving down the slope was done very carefully it was absolutely freezing and getting more so by the second, so as much as I love my footy it was the right decision to make. I would imagine that there also would have been a great deal of external pressure on the club from SAG and the emergency services, I am not sure the RBH would have loved an influx of walking wounded and broken bones to deal with. I am sure the only ones rubbing their hands with glee would have been ' the no win no fee' ambulance chasers queuing up to sue the club.

No Fixed Abode
Nonsense. If I go to a gig or say go shopping at the oracle......then they don't care how I get there as long as I'm in there spending my money. What happens outside the ground isn't Reading FCs business. The game could have gone ahead easily. As long as the ground inside is fit for purpose there is no need to call the game off.

Actually he said only the inside of the ground was the club's responsibility.
