18 players (match day squad) plus 6 coaching staff I'm guessing.

You will be right 👍

It wasn't hindsight tho, it was called off for the right reasons, there were few on here claiming it would be gone by 3pm, it isn't, the roads are still dangerous in places, it's not fit for a game of football now, and that would have been taken into account at the time.

The knowledgw of the current situation at the announcement of the early inspection wasn't available (and unlikely) hence the term hindsight

I reckon the easiest way to find out what matches are due to be streamed on Sky+ is due to go on the Sky+ app and scroll down to see what matches are listed on there

Sky list them all for all their channels on the Sky Sports website here

Don't think anyone was claiming to be an amateur meteorologist, just reading the predictions from the so called professionals and drawing what at the time was a reasonable conclusion, that the inspection was way to early.
However hindsight is a wondrous thing

The forecast late last night was that the snow would stop early hours and it would be heavy rain most of the day from 6/7am onwards and it was still expected to do that when I looked this morning. That heavy rain has never really happened to clear it. That said I suspect there were a few factors that led to the game being called off not least how much water would go into the pitch from the rain and melting snow.

Don't know what his beef is. The forecasted heavy rain didn't materialise to clear the snow so it is still around. I blame the Norwegians

The Norwegians weren't predicting any heavy rain 😉.

I know but lets blame them rather than the Met

I thought they televised all games not kicking off at 3pm on Saturday but it looks like we aren’t on again until March

I don?t think that can be correct - surely the Rotherham, Bromley and Cheltenham games should be on.

Cheltenham is a 12.30 so I'm blaming sky for missing a decent pre match social in Tewkesbury. No consideration for the travelling fans

Don?t need to bother with Sky.
Just Google live football on tv.
Excellent website which lists all televised games and which channel.
I have said this several times.

[JonB]

I have their app as well which is useful but sky sports website is normally fine for their games.

True but there are so many games on other channels. Need to get your money's worth as well as the main event.
