The Boxing day match between Preston North End and Barnsley has been called off due to adverse conditions around the Deepdale area.

Apparently, someone had left an ice cube on one of the pavements within a five mile radius of Deepdale, and this caused immediate concern with Lancashire Police.

A spokesthing commented "The ice-cube on the pavement represents the greatest danger to the general public since the threat of nuclear holocaust during the cold war. We cannot in good conscious allow any living organism near the Deepdale ground".

Comments have been made as to why the rival Lancashire club, Burnley is able to hold it's fixture at Turf Moor, a ground which featured in the Domesday Book, without problems.

"Well, they're a bit strange really aren't they?" Commented a local Health & Safety officer. "They obviously have no knowledge of the danger a single ice cube can do. We advise all people to hide in caves underground for the next 80 years while the danger passes".


Health & safety watchdogs urge caution with ice cubes.


Lancashire Police thoroughly inspected the area before the abandonment
decision was given.
