Chief executive Peter Varney sympathised with the 500 or so Charlton fans that made the long wasted trip, ensuring the football authorities alone were targets of their ire.
"At the end of the day people who have had to travel this sort of distance for an evening game (almost 300 miles) have now got to go back through this type of weather after not even having seen a game," he said.
"The roads around the ground are diabolical. I came in a car that was sliding all over the road and there were cars sliding into one another. There seems to have been no gritting undertaken at all, which is an absolute disgrace."
Alan Curbishley had already expressed his own irritation last week, concerning long journeys being forced upon supporters and four league matches during an eight-day period.
Incidentally, Danny Murphy will now miss the derby game against West Ham at the Valley on New Year’s Eve but will return for Charlton’s trip to Everton on Bank Holiday Monday.
