Man Utd vs Blackpool Game OFF
Supposed to be played on 4/12/2010
Following ongoing discussions between the Premier League, Match Officials and Manchester United it was agreed match referee Peter Walton would inspect the Bloomfield Road playing surface on Friday afternoon.
After consulting with the groundsman and club officials the Northants based official traveled to the Fylde Coast and inspected the playing area at the stadium.
Mr Walton expressed concern that the severely affected areas of the playing surface would not thaw sufficiently for the game to be completed.
The Premier League and officials at
Manchester United were kept fully updated with the ongoing situation at
Bloomfield Road.
United supporters who purchased a ticket for the Blackpool match are advised that their ticket will be valid for the rearranged date.

pity !We will just have to sit back and watch the others hopefully lose!!
it is imperative that we get something against the two difficult games coming up.To take points off Arsenal and Chelsea would put us in good stead as we head into the new year.
Traditionally we play our best football around Christmas and into the new year.Hopefully we can beat both teams as dropping points to either will help one or the other out.A draw will not be too bad either .To win will obviously be the best senario with Sunderland,Birmingham(tough game away),Stoke going into the new year and we should take max points off of these if we want to win the prem.
Yes,pity about our game being the only one off so far.Just don't want to run into a congested schedule..Maybe going out of the Carling might be a good thing in the long run.
Everton have been struggling so let's hope they can raise their game today agains fellow strugglers Chelsea.
Can't see Assenal losing at home today ,although we have seen a few cockups over the last few weeks..We can only hope and pray..
one thing of note,when we play ASSenal,Spurs play Chelsea....could be an interesting afternoon this!!Unfortunately when we play chelsea, Arsenal have Stoke...So perhaps Arsenal may be the team to watch in the next few weeks..
Interesting games ahead,can't wait!!!!
phil Neville of all people..You bloody Twit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
