Fulham Clash Postponed

Roy Hodgson will have to wait until
the snow clears to get a shot at his
former club after adverse weather
conditions forced officials to call off
the clash at Anfield.
A spokesman for the club said:
“Club officials met with the Police
this morning to assess the prevailing
weather conditions.
“The safety of all fans attending the
game is paramount and although
the Anfield pitch is playable, the
conditions around the stadium and
further afield for people travelling to
the match are such that the decision
was taken, following Police advice
on safety grounds, to postpone the
game.
“All existing tickets will remain valid
for the re-arranged fixture. We will
also offer refunds and publish a
deadline date for refunds once the
re-arranged game date is
announced, to enable us to re-sell
any returned seats to other
supporters.
“Any guests who have purchased
hospitality for the game are advised
to retain their tickets as they will be
valid for the new date. We will
advise all supporters of the new date
as soon as possible. ”
This could be a blessing in disguise
for the Reds as it allows skipper
Steven Gerrard the opportunity to
fully recuperate from a hamstring
injury before returning to action.
Liverpool’s next fixture is a boxing
day encounter with newly promoted
Blackpool, although this game could
also fall victim to the elements as the
Seasiders do not have undersoil
heating at Bloomfield Road.
