The Birmingham match is *ON* thread

No chance. Which is fine as we play Blackburn on Tuesday and we'll be rested.

If Birmingham is off due to travel etc isn't it highly possible that Tuesday at Blackburn will follow the same fate being further north and subject to worse weather.

 

[Bigbelly]

Have they had much snow up there?

 

[BensGrandad]

Snow is forecast for the north spreading through out the country tomorrow.

 

[oldboyroy]

Yes I will let you know tomoz and update regularly people and working just a mile or so from st Andrews I will know the train situation as well as buses etc etc

 

[Bigbelly]

Are they having a pitch inspection?

 

[El Sid]

Is Birmingham POTG?

Its 24 hours of snow though followed by 3 days of sunshine. That said, Blackburn couldn't cope with some rain last time could they.

 

[Bigbelly]

If they are having a pitch inspection then I'll not travel. Can't afford to to fork out £70 on a train ticket knowing they're having a pitch inspection. Will the club give the all clear in the morning?

 

[oldboyroy]

At moment I have not heard anything about a pitch inspection but that will happen tomoz sometime I am sure there is talk about the west brom v villa game being in doubt already and some transport are already advising of reducing services according to midlands today

Is Birmingham POTG?

I spoke to the Birmingham ticket office earlier who said it will be POTG

Bloody brilliant that is. I'd be better of canncelling my trip then, don't want to find myself in the same situation like other fans going to Blackburn

Would rather lose my £27 than £97

Birmingham snow update......,

I just cannot see the game going ahead at present we have had about half inch of light snow over last 4 hours and its settled on pavements even on main road where I live so with tomorrows heavy prolonged snow due I honestly can't see any chance of match going ahead I do know Birmingham are going to keep fans informed which I am sure will be tomorrow so hopefully you guys down there won't have a wasted journey

Cheers for the info

Birmingham have said that if it snows as expected, the game will be fine.

If it snows much more than that, it could be in jeopardy. Snow itself doesn't stop the game, and let's face it, they will be more concerned about 18,000 home fans' ability to travel to the game than 800 or so away fans.

 

[severnside gull]

been over to see my grandson in south Birmingham. Nothing much in the way of snow south or west of Birmingham so far

 

[oldboyroy]

More like 13000 home fans!! Their support is getting lower by the week up here now most of my work colleagues who are blues fans want the manager out!!

 

[oldboyroy]

Morning all the latest in Birmingham is its not too bad so far although the forecast is for heavy snow arriving in a couple of hours time so fingers crossed for tomoz

Birmingham snow update......,

BCFC have said it will probably be down to the Police to make the decision on the local area, pitch should be playable but if roads aren't gritted then there is no chance.

Most of the surrounding roads aren't exactly small either I seem to remember.

 

[oldboyroy]

Yes I think that's more likely bearing in mind they have the west brom villa game to police as well!!
