    My only game of the season. Can't be called off. Can it?

    Very windy out too. Hopefully it'll blow the clouds away ! (Clutching at straws too).

    Frustrating for me as I'll need to leave by about 12.30 at the latest.

    Weather doesn't look like it's actually going to be that bad.

    The only rain proof plan is to make sure you are in the pub for midday

    Met Office forecast showing no gusts of wind at 6.00 a.m and 9.00 a.m but there was a howling gale and very gusty all night so I don't think their forecast can be taken as very reliable.

    The rain has stopped in Cumbria. Hope that helps.
    For purely selfish reasons a postponement would be great and if Watford went too, that would be perfect.
    That is selfish though, so good luck to the rest of you.

    @bangkokaddick it's my only chance of a game this season as well. Last game I tried to get to was the Southampton Boxing Day game that was called off two years ago, will be gutted if this one goes.

    Sorry if I'm being stupid, but don't we have rain covers or something to stop the rain from getting on the pitch?

    My life. This thread is unbelievable.

    Call the match off now? Why? That has to be a wind up, surely.

    No we don't have rain covers.
    PS As I said yesterday the only forecast that says heavy rain is the BBC & that is the least reliable.
    I'm hopeful that the rain won't be too heavy (as predicted by the more reliable sites) & the game will be fine.

    BBC always cautious with forecasting ever since Michael Fish said the hurricane of 1987 would miss us DOH! Fear ye not you haddock and chip lovers old sleepy_head predicts this match will go ahead and 3 points secured COYR

    It's mad that we don't have covers in this day and age. What happened to the inflatable duvet we had around 8 yrs ago?
    No rain yet in Da1. Fingers crossed.

    That was to prevent frost, not rain & it split. It was too costly to buy another as we were on skid row.

    I'm too scared to leave home now. Is it possible it might rain and I get wet?

    Best not chance it.

    Ha ha, many moons ago when I was picked for the Primary School team the sports master made us all chant 'Rain, Hail or Snow I've got to Go' for a full minute after Friday practice. Funnily enough we always had a full team out on a Saturday morning........ Man up Offie :-)

    it's not the getting wet part, it's the fact that very heavy rain could hurt the players & officials.

    HSE said so.
