The pitch may be OK and the roads and pavements may be certified OK around the stadium. However, fans who have some distance to travel should not put their lives at risk. We are being told only to travel if our journeys are essential. I have called SFC and have been told that the FA's criteria have been met for the match to be played. This is how the Club and the FA treat football fans. I have therefore told SFC that I will not be renewing my 2 season tickets next season. What a disappointing way to have to bid farewell to Saints after more than 50 years as a loyal fan.

SAINTS Championship clash with Sheffield United tonight has been given the all clear.

Following a pitch inspection shortly before midday, the tie was given the green light.

Police are satisfied that the area around the stadium will be safe enough for fans, and the referee is content that the pitch will be okay for the players.

Ground staff and some of the club’s full-time staff have been clearing the pitch throughout the morning.

With temperatures supposedly set to rise to four degrees Celsius, Saints were confident the snow and ice surrounding the stadium would thaw in time.

Kick-off is at 7:45pm.
