This is bizarre

who made that decision then? seems ridiculous that fans are not 'permitted' to attend.

Guessing there was not enough time to clear the snow/ice off the stands. Right decision unfortunately.

Got to be honest, I didn't consider that. I thought the article implied that the decision was made based on the safety of spectators getting to the match (which is surely an individual decision!) Your explanation makes much more sense though!
