Is Preston potg?

[Eastleigh Seagull]

I am in Preston - its not snowing and nor has it been - its pretty bloody grim though in terms of cold and the odd shower. Thermals on for Saturday.

Any update on the northern Tundra? Have Meridian News suggested we bring tennis bats to walk on and shovels to clear the pitch yet?

Silly me, what was I thinking? I'll remember to take a red carpet with me too.

Have you really got your thermals on for Saturday, wont they be a bit smelly?

We had four flakes of snow this evening here in southern Cumbria...

No snow Manchester way to date.

Better give Liz Costa a shovel to help dig the coach out of the expected drifts on the M6 then.

Edit. If I'm on the coach I suppose I'll be expected to help her.

There are spaces. I contacted her as I may be a late addition.

Back in Liverpool and no snow but an icy wind. Will have to wrap up warm tomorrow.

The biggest challenge for some of us tomorrow will clearly be getting from the South Coast to London by train, Virgin Trains to Preston will no doubt be seamless

Apart from the few expected cancellations from trains being in the wrong position due to today's strike, is there anything else definite that is likely to affect our journey to London. Like you, I'm travelling from Shoreham. For the Brum game the London trains were cancelled so had to change at Brighton, but do big deal.

Not sure however I am aiming to get from Shoreham to Brighton to meet someone and be there around 08:00

I'm aiming for the 06.22 off Shoreham (changing at Btn) to hopefully make the 08.30 from Euston. Leaving early enough to give me time to check in at my lodgings then a stroll to the pub for a few pre-match ales. See you there

Are there no direct trains to London from Shoreham tomorrow ?

Its fine - i will just turn them inside out. Weather update is south of preston there was about 1cm of snow which has now gone unbless youre up the hills. Other than that the wind is very strong and it is fricking freezing and grim - so no change there. Slight touch of snow forecast overnight but nothing that should threaten the game....famous last words. Will let you all know first thing tomorrow.

Currently it is sunny with a hint of cloud - very chilly and windy but much better than yesterday - still need the thermals
