finally someone that makes sense !

i can't believe the media obsession with the weather in the uk . For me it's dead simple, it is either raining or about to .

Jeez , we're under snow at the moment and everything is working, even the trains are on time today. Kids are walking to school , motorways are all open.

I have a contact within the club and I have it on good authority that at the moment there are no rumblings of any cancellation There is however an operations meeting this afternoon and no doubt the weather or potential weather will be on the agenda.

I guess we will know more later/tomorrow morning.

I would imagine that the club would at least wait and see quite how bad the weather is before any decision is made.

We tend not to get serious snow around here so it will take something really unusual for it to get bad enough for the game to be called off. It's icy conditions,outside the ground and around anyway rather than snow which will cause the game to be cancelled.

Surely nothing will be decided till saturday morning though irrespective of what happens tomorrow.

Wasn't it Fulham last season where the game was stopped to clear the snow from the lines? I remember cowering up at the top pretending to know all the guys in the wheelchairs freezing my tits off.
