English Premier News :: Blackpool-Manchester United game called off

Posted on 2010-12-03 by Gooner

The Premier League fixture between Blackpool and Manchester United has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The decision was taken on Friday afternoon after referee Peter Walton expressed concern that parts of the playing surface would not thaw in time.

Bloomfield Road does not have under-soil heating, and large hot-air blowers had been used in an attempt to ensure the pitch was playable.

No new date has been set for the fixture.
