Is there any chance of Monday's game being postponed due to the storm?

So if 15, 000, 000 trees come down, like in '87, a lot of them on the railway line, presumably you will be out there clearing them?

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if your dilapidated stadium was damaged by the winds.

Do you know what hyperbole means?

85 what?

I find the met office site changes wildly every few hours, but it still seems to say the same as I listed.

It says gusts of 85mph.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

It says gusts of 85mph.

Really ? Currently says gusts of 35mph. The game will be on, the worst of the weather is the early hours of Monday and any disruption from then SHOULD be cleared by the afternoon.

Amended Southern timetable for trains will take the football into account.

It's changed bacl again now. Clearly they don't know (yet).

6m trees in Sussex alone!

 

[Ken Livingstone Seagull]

6m trees in Sussex alone!

Not to mention 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

 

[AZ Gull]

Not to mention 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

They were rather small, though.

The storm would have blown over by the time the games starts its only supposed to last a few hours over night.

....or is the Sky TV Money more important to the club than the safety of fans travelling to the Game?

The club ARE NOT responsible for your safety when travelling to and from a football match, YOU ARE.

It's at times like these that persons that have chosen dull, administrative jobs in Public Service get overexcited at the rare opportunity to demonstrate their powers of caution and overreaction to promote fuel their own misguided levels of self importance : Beware they're preening themselves for tomorrow

 

[melias shoes]

It depends if the trees beside the train tracks fall or not...

This is correct.

Do you know what hyperbole means?

Is it a bigger stadium than a Superbowl?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

My mate got a plum job because he was the only one to turn up for interview the day after the great storm.

Perhaps, if you make it to the Amex, Oscar will hand you a shirt and say "we need you! "?

 

[Notters]

Do you know what hyperbole means?

Yes but I fail to see the relevance.

The clubs main concern is how severely the transport will be affected, they have little worry that the storm will actually affect the game.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Game should go ahead - unless the sprinkler system suffers structural damage

 

[TheMajor]

I predict Game Off - carnage with the transport infrastructure (which is a rough translation of - we have too many injuries and would prefer to play it later in the season)

 

[DanielT]

Not to mention 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

They were rather small, though.

But they had to count them all

 

[Ernest]

Wouldn't be surprised if the game was off due to the transport issues
