We were on a direct train from Grantham to Harrogate and were hoping for a prompt announcement after 11:30. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and the OFF tweet was posted just as we pulled out of Leeds station.
So we got all the way to Harrogate. And we had a fixed return ticket on the 17:36 to Kings Cross.
We spent an enjoyable afternoon by having a Nandos for lunch and then going to the cinema to see One Life, which was excellent. I would recommend it to everyone.
We’re now on our way back to Grantham.

Yes they are - however clubs should do more to keep people informed. Like we did last year stating we’d requested a pitch inspection.
If it was obvious yesterday it is their duty to inform match officials, see if they can get earlier inspections etc. It’s also good practice to keep fans informed, not a word from them until late this morning.
What rankles most is how many Tweets they fired out yesterday and their post this morning that the game was on! A bit of communication doesn't go amiss.

Just a gentle reminder that the same thing happened (in reverse) on the same weekend last year. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.c.....postponement-8059000
It didn't though. The club warned both sets of fans on the Friday that there was little chance of the game being on BUT the referee had the final say. The referee chose to leave it until the very latest he could. I found out the game today was off at about 11.40. It took Harrogate another 20 minutes to announce it officially.

Harrogate Railway match was played. About 250 extra spectators than a normal game for them. Anyone know how many mariners were in the crowd?
Nice clubhouse for a pint or few….

Exactly! I don’t mind whether beating games, not a lot you can do. Or giving as much chance as possible to get a game on - but give people some info about what’s happening.

As a Knaresborough resident I'm in total disbelief that the ref called this off! Harrogate was cold but not the extremes seen in some places this week. It didn't freeze last night. Was 6 degrees at half 8 this morning. My garden was soft. Daughters horseriding the ground was soft. 7.5 degrees at 11am. Everywhere I've been in Harrogate it has been pleasant and grassy/muddy areas soft. At 1:30pm I was yards from the ground, it was pleasant and the grass verges etc were soft. How the pitch could be frozen and unplayable I genuinely can't fathom! Not the clubs fault, and you would assume they would want the game on, but I honestly can not get my head round why that game was off.

Agree. No need to rush the new date. Evening kick off on a warm evening would be nice

Talking to a few Norwegian guys who had gone to Harrogate to take in our game ahead of the Leeds game tomorrow....when we said it was off for frozen pitch they looked out the window in disbelief and just said "really?"
