Everton and Peterborough will play tonight in the FA Cup third round after safety tests at Goodison Park.
Snow, ice and freezing temperatures had forced the club and authorities to assemble at lunchtime to examine weather and travel conditions. However, this was done under the assumption that the game would go ahead, which was officially confirmed after the meeting.
“A safety meeting was held this afternoon to assess the weather and travel conditions for fans attending the tie, which confirmed the game can go ahead,” according to an Everton statement.
“Everton workers and a crew from Liverpool City Council’s Streetscene Services team have been treating the roads and pathways around the stadium since the morning to make them as safe as possible for fans entering.
“Anyone attending Goodison Park is advised to prepare for the cold conditions, take care and to allow extra time that may be needed in travelling to the game, including being aware of any advice and weather warnings that may be in place in areas fans are travelling from.”
