Mate of mine’s kid is one of the flag wavers on Sunday and he’s told me that they have been given early notice that the game could be in doubt as dangerous weather is predicted.

Doesn’t seem to be any snow or owt in the long term forecast I can see.

Health & Safety at work here. A young kid waving a flag could easily get swept up in a gale and end up on the roof of the Copthorne hotel! We can’t be too careful!
 
Hope this is just scaremongering. I am on the 8.20am flight out of Belfast international and then have to drive up from Liverpool. Don't need the weather causing any flight delays or game postponements. Haven't been over since the home game against Man utd and am really looking forward to it.

Wet and very windy weather to arrive this weekend

This weekend low pressure returns once again, heralding a spell of wet and very windy weather that looks likely to last well into next week.

I’ve got several apps, which show hour by hour forecasts for the next 7 days.

I’ve checked Belfast, Liverpool and Sheffield and the weather is similar at all 3 places.

It’s not scaremongering, wish it was
The bad news is heavy rain (virtually all day) and very windy....constant 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
The only good news for those at the match is that the wind is coming from the south...so the temperature actually warm up through out the weekend
and will be a barmy 12 degrees at the match...even allowing for windchill the app says it will still feel like 12 degrees.
Its even going to be a surprisingly warm 10 degrees Sunday early morning and Sunday evening too....so at least it won’t feel cold.

I find the apps to be accurate most of the time...the forecasts can be out by several hours the longer in future it is ...and occasionally it’s totally wrong.

You might want to be prepared for the long way round - M62/M1 - as high winds usually shut Snake and Woodhead, but assume you'd still have plenty of time?
 
50mph winds and heavy rain is perfect for our cloggers to inflict a defeat on the tippy tappy great side Bournemouth. Put Deane, Flo & Chief up top and get Kelly to whack it high.

Use the Buxton weather page for up to date travel in the peak district of heading to Manchester I would just avoid the snake and Woodhead and go via Chapel.

Are you saying this is all hot air?🙏🏻
 
Saturday seems relatively calm, wouldn’t it be common sense to bring the game forward 24hrs?
 
Hope the wind is blowing towards the Kop. Im at the Top o the Westfield for this one.
 

So, it'll be a bit drafty and they'll risk their mocha lattes getting cold.

Well slap on an extra turtleneck Quentin and Sebastian, leave Sandbanks and venture north.
