Seems that there is a number of games across the UK being called off for same reason. Wonder how our pitch is bearing up? That is a very good question, matey. At least we don't have a home game till the 11th.

Feel for the travelling loyal fans especially if they have been driving through these awful weather to support the lads. Should have been called off earlier for the travelling fans safety too. Wishing them all a safe journey home.

Just turned up at the ground to find out news of the postponement.
B*gg*r. Weather seemed to be improving, too.
Still, at least it's a short, initial schlep back to the in-laws...

Thanks, exile - and to gazza, mhh and sirius who also texted. My fault, in part, for not checking the 'phone whilst en route - although I have to say that it didn't occur to me to do so! I had looked at The Avenue's website, just before setting off from Skipton at 1pm, to find no further news - and, on arriving at the outskirts of Bradford, the rain had eased considerably.
We spoke to some Avenue officials, who, to be fair, were very apologetic to us about the late postponement. (It would, I guess, have been a far better pay-day for them this afternoon than a later Winter's Monday night will be.) That said, they were locking the gates as we departed (around 2-ish), and not showing any signs of posting information there for later arrivals to see.
A number of County players had, apparently, made their own way to the ground, to discover the news. And we saw half a dozen or so of our supporters who had done the full schlep from Stockport.
Having once travelled by train from Macc to Oxford and found a County game off, I can feel relatively philosophical about having to turn around for a relatively short trip back within Yorkshire. Sincerely hope, though, that most who set off from the other side of the Pennines knew of the decision at an early stage of their journeys!

Half an hour past kick-off time, and nothing about the postponement to be found on COWS...

All the best for 2014, Lox.
@ Maccy, a lack of information on COWS, I'm not having that!

Just shows how much our club's hierarchy care about the fans - not putting anything on COWS

No CEO to be seen over the most crucial period in the club's history, and no information for the loyal travelling fans who give up their New Year's Day to go and watch the team. What a bunch of utter f**k ups our owners really are, aside from Park and Brammall, I hope everyone of their busineses crumble into bloody dust.

I'm not too disappointed as it means I can actually go to the re-arranged game, it's a poor show from the club to not post about it on the website
