English Premier News :: Wigan v Aston Villa Postponed

Posted on 2010-12-18 by Gooner

Wigan's home match against Aston Villa has been postponed because of "freak weather conditions in the town", according to Wigan's club website.

The DW Stadium pitch is playable because of the undersoil heating.

But the decision was made by Greater Manchester Police on safety grounds, with surrounding areas, public transport and roads all affected.

"We apologise for the inconvenience this causes but the situation is beyond anyone's control," said Wigan.

"Public transport isn't running, there are motorway closures and the general condition of the surrounding routes is treacherous.
