Arsenal are to pay the travel costs incurred by Bolton fans who made the journey south to London for Wednesday’s postponed Premier League match, Britain’s Press Association reported on Thursday.

Although the Emirates Stadium pitch was playable, the game was called off with less than five hours before kick-off after local police said approach roads, many of them covered in snow, had made conditions dangerous for fans.

Bolton supporters who’d come down from the north-west wondered why, given that bad weather had affected the south of England since the start of Wednesday, the match was not called off sooner.

Arsenal insisted they did all they could but have agreed to pay the travel costs of Bolton fans as a goodwill gesture.
