We are Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and play when we like.

| In these days of health and safety and not to mention the 'claim' society, best to be safe than sorry. Gone are the days when you turned up and the terraces still had snow on them and this provided entertainment itself. I remember going to Fev in the mid to late 80s to watch a Challenge Cup tie against Widnes when Paul Lyman was playing for Fev and John Gilbert was playing for Widnes. The pitch was covered in snow and only the lines had been cleared and marked out in purple! Only thing that was missing was an orange ball. The good old days!

| I'm pleased the game is called off.
not sure many are taking into consideration the state of the pitch due to minus temperatures last night.
I've been watch some icicles on my neighbours guttering seeing if there's are sign of a thaw when the sun came out and its very little so what's the likelihood that the pitch is also struggling to thaw
do we really what to put players under extreme pressures to play on crap conditions I don't for one
correct decision made for me

| The fact is that the club did everything possible to try and get the game on and they, along with the volunteers, should be applauded for their efforts.
However, the postponement may help Wakefield when the game is played, as a certain Tim Smith should be fit, however, who knows what will happen, so our wealthy neighbours should stop bleating and looking for conspiracy theories.
Parking alone, would be an absolute nightmare as most of us park on the side-streets around the ground and some of these are in a poor state, due to the snow and ice.

| Surprised by the decision as the sun is shining and there's quite a thaw underway.
Fair enough.

Bit of daft post. it does help out with more rest for key players to shake off injuries though which is good for Wakefield.

There were 30+ volunteers working hard from around 10am yesterday to get the game on. There have also been people down the ground this morning from 8am trying to get the game on. We dont have undersoil heating like rhino's but the pitch is clear. The issue is not with wakefields attempts inside the ground but the fact that it dropped in temperature overnight freezing thawing surfaces and creating ice. The areas around the ground were cleared but the club cannot dictate the weather conditions and to ensure safe conditions for supporters the game was called off by the match comissioner NOT WAKEFIELD !!!
Big thanks to all of you that gave your time to try and help the club get the game on see you all on friday down at cas

The club and fans work hard to get the game on, the match Com turns up and and advises against it.
A leeds fan wants to turn it into a dig at the club.
If you go on the Leeds board you'll see the [unormal fans[/u accept it.

| Got to love all the conspiracy theories - the game was called off by the match commissioner with, I imagne, some input from the relevant authorities; there is more to consider than whether the pitch is clear! I'd wager that some of those people who say that the safety of spectators is their own responsibility would be the first to bang in a claim when they slipped on a bit of ungritted pavement.
If you find yourself thinking that there is something sinister going on here, I'd suggest that you find something to do with your time - you've got too much of it on your hands.

| Myself I think they called this abit too early, with it only been Leeds they could have had a 12 o clock inspection. Mind you the outcome would probably of been no different.

| Memo to the RFL; Next time you want to rearrange a fixture within 48 hours of the original match, you might want to watch something called a "Weather Forecast" first. It was clear to me that with all the snow that fell on Friday night and indeed yesterday, coupled with the ice forming underfoot that there was absolutely no chance whatsoever of this match going ahead this weekend. As for the ill-informed whino who has the nerve to come on here and accuse our club of "not even trying to get the game on" needs to get real and facts right. In a statement on his beloved whinos website, Leeds have actually praised the "outstanding effort made by the ground staff and volunteers" of the Wakefield club to try and get the match on. Still, it saves a fixture pile up.

| The areas in the sun are starting to thaw but anything in the shade are still very icy. Sadly many of the areas around the ground are out of the sunlight so its just too dangerous. Can't say i'm too upset as its bitterly cold out there.
Gives the guys chance to be fit and fresh for the easter games at least.

Parking would have been a nightmare in the surrounding streets. Also now clubs offer pre-match hospitality it would have meant that they would have been well on the way with the catering and then the match called off!

Its not the pitch or the stadium that stopped it but whats around it, maybe you live on a main road but the estates are pretty bad with ice, a lack of parking locally due to the ice and poor under foot, the pitch like I say was fine. The council only maintain the main routes in the main due to financial contraints and the sheer volume of work it would take once off the main routes.

Perhaps it was a conspiracy between the RFL and SL who are sick of you whining whinos and the drum fuelled forward shouting supporters?
I expect Sinfield to be fitted up in a news of the world type sting operation in the coming days.
The authorities asked us and we were happy to oblige - that said it could have been any other club, such is the rhinos popularity!!
The real story of course is we have been holding a beach party down at a possitively tropical BV!!
Chump!!!
