Will there be a WINDIER ground in the football league?

Been up there a few times and on every occassion it's been blowing a gale.

I wonder if it will affect the football much.

Id imagine the height of the stands and the fact that the stadium is in a bit of a dip would mean that the wind shouldnt be much of a factor.

It has a roof and sides it's not going to be Withdean on the South downs.

Thinking about it, Hartlepool will take some beating.

Peterborough and Northampton always seem to be windy.

I've been to Falmer nearly every week for the last 16 months and can't remember it being particularly windy once. You just want something extra to moan about don't you?

No but it will be FOGGIER, watch out for a number of games getting called off in the future, the sea mist really rolls in across the Downs from there.

Don't be an idiot.

It's on the downs.

Of COURSE it's going to be windy.

You've probably just got used to it.

It was an obversation, not a moan. Windy Falmer > pissing rain at Withdean
