LONDON, Dec 21 - Wigan Athletic's Premier League
match against Bolton Wanderers scheduled for Monday (2000 GMT)
has been postponed due to icy conditions around the stadium.
Wigan said on their website (www.wiganlatics.co.uk) they had
called the game off after consultation with police even though
the DW stadium and the pitch are in perfect condition.
The decision was made because the club has "a mile of
private roads and 10 acres of car parks to maintain, much of
which are still under ice, and with weather forecasts predicting
a temperature drop down to minus six degrees tonight."
