Big Freeze causes fixture chaos
(19-12-2010) The ‘Big Freeze’ in England has caused the cancellation of Sunday’s big clash between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The Blues cited heavy snow in London, saying in a statement: "Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge has been postponed following consultation with the police and the local authority. There has been heavy snow in London on Saturday." Also postponed on Sunday were Blackpool's match at home to Tottenham as well as the third and final EPL clash between West Brom and Wolves. This follows the cancellation of Saturday’s matches at Arsenal, Wigan, Liverpool and Birmingham due to the foul of the weather.
