Weather warning - Sunday

[chesblade]

Looking at weather forecast for Sunday think this will be off. Heavy snow forecast all day Sunday and into Monday

 

[SK10Blade]

Hope not, can't imagine the Chelsea boys relishing playing in those conditions. Bet the groundsmen do a brilliant job of clearing it. (Is it permissible to turn the heating off in their dressing room as well?)

 

[Nade]

Can't see it being called off as it's usually done so for the supporters' sake more than anything.

With undersoil heating I see no reason that it won't go ahead.

 

[chesblade]

All depends on if players,refs and others can get to the ground. Roads may not be good

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Nah - a lovely cold day for the southern softies

Wet and slightly cut up pitch - be a nice leveller.

Bring it on

UTB

Who's the ref? If it's Lee Mason his Guide Dog might get a bit cold.............

I think the main concern would be if water was forming puddles on the surface - not sure even the underground heating would deal with it.

Do Premier League games still get called off for weather?

It looked a bit splashy in parts during the West Brom game, can't imagine it'll be much better if it puts as much down as the forecast is saying. Might literally be bringing the Subs on..............

 

[Seanshoreham]

On recent snowy games matches have been called off due to slippy streets surronding the stadium - so no problem there this time

I don't think anywhere near as often as they used to when the Pools Panel used to sit!

Bloody hell, I forgot all about the pools panel.....the lost days of innocence!

 

[originaltrueblade]

Get some liquid nitrogen under their seats to freeze their arses off before they get on the pitch

If it causes problems regarding travelling, then yes. Also, if the weather makes conditions around the ground dangerous, but there aren't any fans so...

 

[Swannyblade]

I don't know that there's enough wiggle room in the calendar to be calling games off - I expect they'll make every effort for it to go ahead.

Who plays lcb is my biggest question/worry about this fixture

Don’t think there’s any chance it will be postponed.
We have under soil heating and a desso pitch.
All they need to do is clear the pitch of snow....that’s should be relatively easy.

This is one of the rare occasions where lock down is a big advantage.
If fans were attending then it’s might have been postponed due to safety around ground..the pavements and side roads.

Gerrit fookin played.........

Yeah, also you’d assume Chelsea would travel up the day before.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Just get out the orange ball.

Let's all get our masks on n get down there to clear it.

No that was one of Neil Warnocks tricks if memory serves.

 

[chesblade]

Suppose it depends how much snow we do get

 

[benn5712]

Mother doesn't like the snow.





I'd like to explain, Tuchel reminds me of this film character. I know it's rather weak, but what can you do?
Thanks.

Hopefully not but yeah it looks bad.

Hope it's not so bad the Chelsea boys can't make it on the coach.

Chelsea coach might not make it up.

Fingers crossed.

Wilder said Stevens/Osborn might be back for Sun. After his performance against Man Poo I would play Jags CB and Egan LCB with Osborn LWB to deal with their pace. Assuming Baldock injured Back 5 of:
Bogle Bash Jags Egan Osborn
