They could have taken that decision last night on the basis of the forecast! Many Wet shammers will be well on their way to Manchester by now. Ridiculous.
Good for West ham that, means it'll be rescheduled for later in the season when City will have a pile up of fixtures once the champions league restarts.

Millwall v West Brom is still on apparently. Surprised about that but I suppose they have an image to uphold. " No wind likes us, we don't care "

How can you postpone a football match because of a bit of wind?
Obviously not because of the actual game, but i'd assume safety issues in surrounding areas with things falling over/collapsing on fans going to the game.
Same as in icy weather, when the pitch is ok because of under soil heating, but it gets called off because roads/pavements are iced up and dangerous for fans.
Oh ffs, I triple-captained Aguero in my fantasy team for this match!!
I had KDB as C, and Aguero as VC. What's going to happen with that? Seems unfair if the game gets moved to another game week that not only do I lose out on points this week, but others get the benifit of getting City players in for a double game week.
In amongst the entirely enjoyable description of their current self inflicted crappy season, against a backdrop of their supporters finally realising they've been sold a total dud by the owners, is mention that there are plans to "square off the stands" and bring them closer to the pitch this year. First I've heard of this.
As a leading "malcontent and keyboard warrior" @PragueAddick can you shed any light on who might be picking up the bill for this?
It's a shame it was called off, I fancied City to pulverise them 6-0. They would have been really fired up after Pep's comments post Tottenham about refreshing the team for next season.

Bet they're now on their hollibobs , bless their cotton socks !
From today's Mirror. Headline: Passion of Upton Park to a toxic, soulless bowl. The fans were sold a dream by the Brady bunch but now it's a NIGHTMARE.
Can this finally shut up those Charlton fans who keep going on about a new poncy stadium.
THE VALLEY IS OUR HOME.
The only move I would ever want is the peninsula but again we are miles away from that and I would want it to replicate the valley. The valley extension is perfect from what I have seen and would be more than enough for our fan base. Peninsula is a pipe dream if we ever get to the point where we have 5x more fans than seats
On a side note I think Bowen is a top signing, West Ham have signed some right slop over the years but I don't believe he falls into that category, we will find out
An article about West Ham written years ago, when they were in trouble (are they ever not) included an opinion that went something like this .. 'the trouble with West Ham is that they can no longer call on four diamond geezers from Gidea Park to have a battle in midfield for them, they need more sophisticated football brains' .. (unquote) I paraphrase but that was the gist .. the trouble now is that they have too many expensively assembled and overpaid sub standard midfielders defenders and attackers from all around the globe who are NOT prepared to have battle, no matter the size of their brains .. perhaps a few more diamond geezers like Mark Noble are required
"Despite the club's plans, many supporters remain unconvinced that the changes will make much if any difference to the match day experience. "Only two options will work [at the stadium]," wrote KUMB member Samba. "Complete demolition and a rebuild - or we leave."
Okaaaay, so "Complete demolition and rebuild", well we taxpayers spent £323m doing a complete rebuild to West Ham's own spec, so I guess demolition and new rebuild, shall we say £800m based on what Emirates and WHL have cost? Yeah, we can cough that up, can't we, folks? "Or we leave" uhuh, and to where exactly?
You could almost feel sorry for them because at least the Valley lay empty and waiting for our return when we were kidnapped and bundled off to Selhurst. The Boleyn is already gone. But unlike us, so many of them were up for this. I don't see a solution to this.
Another good shout. Certainly the original contract didn't allow for that, I am pretty sure. There was a fuss when Bilic talked about training at the stadium. I'll check it out.
We've already written to the LLDC asking who is paying for the proposed seating re-config. and Caroline Pidgeon at City Hall has promised to look into it too.
Can't stress to strongly how useful alerts like this are. All of us in the OSC have to some extent switched off as we felt we've taken it as far as we reasonably could - media lost interest in the story - but such alerts help us to switch back on again quickly and remind them all that we haven't gone away.

I expect Gavros will resurface on here soon after any enquiry about it becomes public!

After all, they are half way there this season right?
