Arsenal game snowed off
The match became the latest sporting fixture to fall foul of the severe wintry weather affecting the UK after an assessment of the ground and surrounding areas yesterday afternoon.
The pitch at the Emirates Stadium was playable but, as with both of this week's Carling Cup semi-finals, there were safety issues affecting fans and concerns over transport.
