Weather wins as games called off!

The weather won today in the battle at Ewood Park has ternential snow conditions prevented the Semi Final 1st leg between Villa and Blackburn going ahead.

There was always a small possibility this would be the case, and it was confirmed by Blackburn Rovers this morning.

Although the pitch was very much playable, the fans safety was the problem. With snow continuing to fall heavily the surrounding roads and the stands, the police in Lancashire and the club decided it would be best if the game was postponed.

Blackburn will make a official announcement tomorrow morning about the new date when the fixture will be played. The word we are getting though is that it will be Thursday 14th January.

Suppose one good thing was to come out of this… James Milner should now be fit for the game.
