THE late decision to postpone Crystal Palace's match at Everton on Wednesday night has been blasted by Eagles co-chairman Steve Parish.
The Goodison Park clash was called off just 30 mins before kick-off, despite a severe weather warning being in place for the north-west for several hours before.
Police advised the match be postponed for safety reasons relating to houses outside the ground, but Parish was left distinctly unimpressed by the last-minute change of heart.
He Tweeted: "What an absolute shambles, just got home, 7 hours in the car longer for the fans on the coaches!!"
Parish then added: "Asked to delay kick off, to get fans coaches there, told there were no problems and no need to be delayed, 20 mins later games called off!"
