No real snow in London so hopefully London based players had no problems, sad to hear that someone as high profile as Martin Tyler ( Famous commentator and voice of the FIFA Series ) who is Kingstonians first team coach chose to speak in such a derogatory way apparently to our staff!
Travel no better today, was meant to be in London via train but have bailed at Tunbridge wells and looking to head home ASAP!
Update - apparently he has apologised to Mark, fair play there

It was called off at 6PM approx once it was clear that players and staff would never been able to make it safely, apparently Jamie Crellin is STILL stuck on A23 this morning after getting to Kingstonian very early from Brighton.
Me and Dave Willis got to Waterloo but luckily didn't jump on the train to Norbiton before we heard.
Sounds like Kingstonian were not very happy at all, they didn't believe the excuse apparently!
Went to London early afternoon yesterday. For a couple of pints and some grub. No Snow at all which was amazing. Made my way to waterloo to hear game off. Found Mr Ormrod and Phil D and got 18:45 back to Hastings. Train only a few mins late and got back to Hastings Station at 20:45 but did not get back to the Ridge until 22:15. Car abandoned in St Helens Road. Was not in the best of moods when I got home!!
Sounds like some Kingstonian officials thought we just didnt want to play them. One in particular . Hang your head in shameshame ! There have been some nice tweets from Kingstonian fans though .I understand Jamie got home just after daylight. What a nightmare he and his dad must have had .
hats off to all the team and supporters who set off for this game last night....think we need to remember what some of these players ( and supporters ) give up to play non league football.....in situations like last night players ( and supporters ) safety is paramount....you cannot question the committment of these players. I understand that Crells and Bailo had to 'hole up' for the night en route back to Sussex. Hope the other players got sorted, understand Jono got the message on the m25 en route to the game...not sure about the 'London boys' ..coxy? judgey ? elvis? Dee Dee Okojie ? Murphs?
