Haven't been out in rain like that, which has lasted so long since I was a kid. It wasn't nice.
I see city square is closed tonight and there will only be a few kiosks open inside too. Understandable in the circumstances.
I heard that you can't play conkers in any weather.

We don't have to stand by the teams that were announced last night. Be interesting if any changes were made

Guess I will be searching everywhere for Joan since she doesn't appear to be in the States. If anyone spots her somewhere later send her my way please. Thanks.

I sat in my car for what seemed an age while the rain was belting down and forming lakes on the roads to the ground from where I was. They were saying on the radio there was concern about the match going ahead as the ref had done an inspection of the pitch and the ball wasn't moving. They expected another inspection and the feeling was that as long as it didn't carry on like a monsoon the game would be ok as the pitch drains so well. mention was made of the thunder and lightening but not that it was going to be a major part of why the game was called off.
I was to meet my wife at the ground anyway so at just after 7 I set off walking in minimal rain but I did have to do the odd detour to avoid the lakes that had formed on the pavements in places as well as the roads. My wife had set off from a pub around Piccadilly to get a tram only to find they had stopped a few minutes earlier. Crazily she walked to the ground in just about the worst rain in many a year and was the original drowned rat when she got there.
Personally i think the game should have gone ahead altough maybe I am underplaying the safety issues and indeed the problems some would have had with even getting to the ground especially if it was reliant on metrolink.
Anyway I did see a game yesterday which we won well and it's off there again shortly

I've heard banded about that the club aren't selling any tickets today for tonight's rearranged fixture so I thought I'd mention that season card holders who phone in will still be able to have the game put on their season card. Not sure if that's the 'official' line but a mate of mine just called in and did that.
It may further assist to know that he spoken to Emma in customer services and she was very helpful.
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

They had a mass cull of Horse Chestnut Trees about ten years ago to remove all bonkers just in case there was any slight chance someone could possibly get hit by a falling conker!

Dedicated to the cause. Please tell me she wasn't carrying ladders as well?

Looking around at the coaches and beer cans it looks like our Teutonic friends spent the night afloat inside them.

The webshite can't be fixed not even by the marvelous Emma because it's a 'wix' website and they are truly shite.

A "precautionary measure" apparently. Be nice to see him
