Will the ball still bounce
The Amex pitch hasn't been waterlogged in 11 years - they'll probably still have the sprinklers on just before KO! We've had games in really shit weather in the past and none have ever been postponed.
Same in Lewes. Reminds me of a French phrase I like, "raining like a p*ssing horse".
I'm now researching whether giraffes can be blown over more easily than zebras in strong winds, as my initial thought was that it would be a good day for Big Dan Burn.
If you read my original post I said if we weren't at the amex it could have been called off. No chance at falmer.The Amex pitch hasn't been waterlogged in 11 years - they'll probably still have the sprinklers on just before KO!

Looking like a wet Paris Roubaix for the first time in a loooong time.
Maybe they should hold it every October instead
I'm glad you contributed this. I had no idea that this was this weekend. That's Sunday sorted, then!

There is a womens version this year for the first time. They may wish they had waited to next year to start! .
This year "The Hell Of The North" may well be the mostly aptly named race ever- torrential rain, mud, cobbles, wind, couple hundred cyclists going all out tightly packed, what could possibly go wrong!!!!
Apart from this one! Different kind of shit weather, mind.

I see there are some predictions of 30mm of rain which is an incredible amount !!!
Sorry I see! I think the worst weather we've had in terms of wind and rain was that October game against Watford in 13/14 (where Watford probably should have had another goal when the ref didn't see the ball cross the line). The weather didn't seem to affect the quality of the game though. Modern pitches drain easily and I guess the stands provide a degree of sheltering from the wind.

And Saturday too!
Finally, the first women's edition. On Saturday. Although we're not going to get full coverage of that one for some bizarre reason
