Last updated : 20 December 2009 By Andy Van Hagen

Carlisle Unitedhad one of the longest away days on the English Football calendar this weekend, and they were heading to Colchester when they found out the match had been postponed because of snowy weather.

The Cumbrians had already set out, headed for Peterborough United where they would take a break and train before the second leg of their journey.

Having had the news of the postponement manager Greg Abbott called Walsall and arranged a training session at our new facilities, ensuring the players didnt have to head straight back to Carlisle.
