Would you LIKE it to RAIN for the last ever Withdean experience?

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

With the outlook looking IFFY for Saturday's weather, it got me thinking.

Would you like the last ever Withdean match to be a RAINFEST

Of course, it would be LOVELY to wake up on Saturday morning and it be GLORIOUS sunshine, but to me it almost seems RIGHT if the last time I walk away from the athletics track I will hear the intense pitter patter of the drops hitting those green seats.

This would further emphasis the EXCITEMENT of having a ROOF next season.

It looks inevitable!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Nah, glorious sunshine please! But maybe we could all don ponchos for the 2nd half or something anyway?

 

[Silent Bob]

It must do.

Thinking about it this has probably been one of the dryest seasons.

i would love it to rain. i want to wear my poncho one last time

 

[eastlondonseagull]

I'm taking a poncho regardless. And wellies. And waterproof trousers

 

[Perkino]

I can't remember a game that has been in the rain at Withdean this season

Yeah rain please. It'll make my Klinsmann across the pitch at the end all the more dramatic.

Thinking about it most fans, WSU's apart, will need their ponchos at the Amex too

rain like the friday night game against Rochdale about 6 years ago, 4-0 down and the ground emptied!!! swirling wind, cold, just f***ing horrible, but i stayed till the bitter end!

 

[King of California]

Stuff the Ponchos... I'm using 4 yards worth of clingfilm. Remember always practice safe supporting!

Indeed.

Tranmere two years ago was pretty inclement as I remember.

very likly. apparently March was the 2nd driest on record and December driest since 1970-something (there wasnt that much snow overall, just big dumps of it at a time).

IF it rains, I think there will be an element of devil may care - a one-last-time wgaf of celebratory madness, a throwing off of inhibition, and all the stewards will lead the way by getting completely naked.

 

[Braders]

rain UP UNTIL the point when Gordon comes up to lift the league 1 cup ... then glorious sunshine as the clouds pass

Perfect.

Anyone remember that Millwall game a few years back? We won 4-1, but pissed down with rain and was blood freezing. Tranmere 0-0 was also awful.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

I'd like it to rain, we'll appreciate not getting wet at the amex even more.

Millwall game was the wettest I can remember over the years. Most of the Millwall supporters left at half-time. I had my poncho on, but still got soaked to the skin. Wallet was soggy, phone stopped working, an absolute shocker

.........possibly going just a little too far but can only agree with the sentiment
