Snow show

So, the elements intervened to prevent us getting back on track after Monday's defeat. Tonight's match with Charlton was called off just 25 minutes before kick-off, the pitch playable and unfrozen (unlike those at the Reebok Stadium and Ewood Park) but the stands deemed unsafe owing to the evening's intermittent snowfall.

Spare a thought for the poor unfortunate Addicks who had made the long and ultimately futile journey up at a particularly expensive time of year? Well, not really - I'm too busy sparing a thought for the other half of B&W&RAO, who had himself travelled up from the East Midlands for the match. Well, that and returning a load of unwanted Christmas presents from his parents. The ungrateful sod.
