It amazes me how "worked up" some people on here get about a match being postponed when there's a lot more important things to worry about.

I think there are questions to be asked when a match gets called off without indication of any problem and with the sun cracking the flags.

Not a new problem and won't be changing any time soon. I'd like to see people being more proactive about it rather than just accepting it as one of those things.

The club looked into this at one point. It was ruled out on health and safety grounds because of the fire risk from the wicker furniture.

Funny you say this.. My game in the morning was in question with a shaded part of the pitch deemed unplayable. Convinced my opponents coach to have his lads do their warm up on the frozen part, (small area in the corner covered by trees) half an hour later... pitch playable.
