What is the chance the game will be off tonight?

[studio150]

I'm expecting a 6pm inspection so am not leaving before then.

It does make you wonder with all the advancements in pitch drainage, under soil heating, etc that far fewer games are postponed now, why don't we have several large fans on the Amex roof to blow the fog away

Put out a call to all fat supporters who wish to help provided they can actually get up to the roof.

That got an actual laugh out loud from me.

Which is about when I get to Eastbourne and a packed Falmer bound train is due to leave like happened for the Cardiff game...............

Has there been a (shortlived) thread on here about the new tarmac logo...? Presume it is the dark patch you can make out in this photo between the ticket office and the bandstand?

Shut up Mr Cheerful, some of us have a long drive and dont want to get there and find it canceled again.

I'm just about to head off by car from the Midlands and will have to keep my fingers crossed that the match isn't called off. For the Cardiff game, my son and I arrived in Sussex at 17:59 after a 3 1/2 hour drive through rain, mist and fog en route only to find that the match was called off one minute later following an 18:00 pitch inspection! We turned round and drove 155 miles straight back home! :-(

I sincerely hope we don't encounter a repeat of that experience tonight and am praying that all will be okay based on the BBC's latest "mist" forecast for Falmer from 19:00 onwards (..albeit that it's showing "fog" from now until then).

Such is the lure of the Albion!

Bit harsh - forewarned is forearmed and all that ...

Please explain.......I have to leave at 230 so how am I forewarned? what a crazy statement

Which surely makes my comment helpful? Would you rather not know?! In fact that's exactly what you've said you son't want to happen.

 

[Official Old Man]

If it starts but abandoned, will it count as a Sky game?
Must they show the rearranged game or could they swop it for another?

 

[Jim in the West]

Just about to set off from Somerset....it better be ON!

 

[Doc Lynam]

It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog.
