Game On

[Sean Thornton]

Fortunately the game's at Bramall Lane and not on the Parkway.

Sadly not everyone can teleport to the ground.

Unless the Bramall Lane pitch has a massive fuck off umbrella hanging over it then the same rain will also have landed there you sarcastic twat.

 

[jt64]

Wind is whipping around in S2, squally showers, but not heavy rain.

Squally showers? This isn't the shipping forecast

 

[shrubbery]

The biblical levels of rain seemed to have stopped for now so just a case of pitch drainage now and hopefully that’s top notch from the desso installation.

"Viking, Dogger, Bramall: Cyclonic, becoming westerly, 6 to gale 8, occasionally severe gale 9 later..."

[BettingBlade]

Surely if we weren’t playing Bournemouth this would have been called off? Just means I’ll have to wait to get back to the pub....oh well

many heavy rain drains straight off the pitch and into the River about 100m upstream of Swillsborough - be reyt.

 

[ucandomagic]

If this was OK for Mahomes today is fine for me.



Sun is coming out in Broomhill - not!

I can’t imagine the pitch drainage will be an issue, they would’ve call the match off by now if drainage would’ve been a problem.

It's got grass with drainage designed to get rid of surface water. The Parkway is tarmac.

Bramall Lane shipping forecast:

Railway, Away End, Sportsman; Gale force 8 or 9 in places, rough.

BP, John, Shoreham; strong winds, queues lengthening at 2, moderate.

Shoreham Main, Man Friday, Badge seller; Open, gale force 9 or 10, programmes soggy. Rough as fuck.

Cherry South, Car Park, Lane; covered, gale force to the west, exits closed. Queues lengthening towards badge seller. Choppy.

No drainage on roads is there...

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Spare a thought for the Bournemouth fans. Long grim journey home and back today. Imagine how pissed off you’d be if made it to Sheffield and it was called off just before kick off.

 

[shrubbery]

Sun coming out now. Inspired decision to keep the game on.

 

[georgethecat]

Left home at 5.30. flight to Liverpool was all over the show. Drove up in horrendous conditions. Didn't risk the peaks so made my way via Huddersfield. Just entered the lane and the steward says to me " keep your tickets in case it gets abandoned!"
Come on blades
