The quality is not there? nonsense.. The A League is pretty good...not the best league in the world but not the worst either. If the truth were known it is better than some European leagues.. The weather has nothing to do with quality etc Games go ahead as determined by the referee who takes into account players safety...In other words it is a liability issue.
