Re: Game off
There was a motion put to the FA by a referee's group for the home team to make the call with police advice - a decision to be made within 2 hours of kick off time.
While there was a risk of the home team calling the game off for their own advantage, it would save the away team and fans traveling to the ground and prevent undue pressure and threats being placed on the referee.
As the home team would suffer the financial loss for any cancellation, it was considered a suitable counter balance to prevent an unnecessary cancellations.
