Last week's Man United game scheduled for the 25th next month

Man United's away game against Blackpool was called off due to a frozen pitch at Bloomfield Road, but they have decided that Man U will attempt to drown Blackpool (or be drowned) on the 25th of January. This sort of carry-on is why English sports venues need an under-soil heating system (already required in the German Bundesliga). There have been several cases of matches in Holland that are supposed to take place around Christmas but have to be called off due to there being too much snow on the fields. This just goes to show how valuable under-soil heating is in colder climates - this way, less matches will be cancelled or postponed, there will be less logistical headaches in things like rescheduling the match and fans re-scheduling their travel plans if a match does get postponed, and there will be less money lost through processing ticket refunds if a match is actually cancelled.
