Tonights Game
- Thread starter samcalo85

Very poor decision to allow the game to go ahead. The reasons stated by others on this thread already highlight why its a poor decision.
On one hand the authorities are telling us to stay home unless absolutely necessary, but the Devils expect people to put their own safety and the safety of others at risk to get to the game.
Does anyone have another contact number for the Devils as I've tried the office and there is no answer (I assume it's only open Monday to Friday)?

I have to agree with you in that games should be cancelled if it looks like FANS (ie paying spectators) cannot make it in the usual number.
Scotland has had this weather since the beginning of December and as a direct result Edinburgh has suffered lower gates receipts on the two sequential double headers (Belfast & Nottingham) that have been played the last two weekends. Also this weekend is pretty pivotal in Newcastle’s survival and if the weather is awful the crowd is going to be well down – not what is needed.
Some common sense is required all round.....

I am clearly alone in my thinking here but i don't see why the game should be called off.
Other countries get a lot more snow for many more months than we do and thats just the norm. Why should we be any different. I find it quite embarrassing how badly we cope and i know foreigners find it rather amusing too...
From a business point of view i fully understand why people think it should be called off but i can't stand how everything grinds to a halt over here. I struggle to believe that so many people are actually 'snowed in' to the extent that they couldn't get out if need be. Get out of the house and down the rink and show your support.

I think the difference is that those countries get guaranteed snow each year. Local authorities can budget for it and it's an accepted necessity.
Here, this is very unusual...if LAs budgeted for this kind of snowfal each year rather than apend it on other services they'd be widely criticised.
Bit of a no-win situation really.

It has nothing to do with showing support, I am sure people are disappointed they can't go but I am sure they value their wellbeing and safety far more than a game. I think people have got out of their houses, but walking to a local shop is a bit different to driving on icy roads
