Postponements leave angry fans out in the cold

NEWCASTLE, Blackburn and Bolton all earned the wrath of travelling fans last night after calling off matches at short notice.

Angry supporters called radio stations in protest at the lateness of the decisions especially after some had travelled for hours to the games.

Newcastle's game against Charlton was postponed less than 30 minutes before kick-off, after a heavy snowfall, on the grounds of supporter safety.
