Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's also the date Blackpool could play Southampton in a 4th Round replay if this weekend's match is drawn. The last away game we had called off (my memory may be off) due to frost was Southampton. They installed undersoil heating pipes in their shiny new (at the time) ground, but despite the local presence of big chemical companies (used to be called BP) that make glycols and others that blend them into anti-freeze, Southampton were unable, also in spite of the weather forecast, to procure the required volume in time to fill their pipes and hence turn it on? They claimed it was a once in 20+ year occurrence, so why would they? Well apart from pissing off folks that had booked a weekend by the dock of the bay to watch the big ships float in and watch them float back out again .... ?

You couldn't make this up.
