Yes but there is rain and biblical rain like were seeing.No Premier League game should ever be called off because of rain. We've known about this storm for days - surely the pitch can be covered for the majority of the day, they'll have pumps and the drainage is state of the art. We're already struggling with the number of games we'll have to play between now and the end of May - this game has to go ahead.
The rain is shocking to be fair. Something that's going to get worse as the Earth's temperature continues to rise. Football clubs are going to have to adapt long term.Yes but there is rain and biblical rain like were seeing.
Thanks Greta.The rain is shocking to be fair. Something that's going to get worse as the Earth's temperature continues to rise. Football clubs are going to have to adapt long term.
The roof panels were being ripped off the velodrome.. got there early and I was sat in their car park.. annoying as the wind died off just after they’d cancelled itI am probably repeating other posts but I remember two games being off at the Etihad: a CL game which was because of lightning and a Premier League game (Sunderland) but that was the wind. All the wheely bins and program stands were blowing around the forecourt.
In summary I don't think rain alone should be a problem.
I was at home with the family having tea and the glass surface on our patio table was lifted and shattered against the wall. I had a big barney with the Mrs who kept telling me not to go because it wasn't safe. We still hadn't resolved it when on the news came footage of a programme booth skating across the forecourt and news that the game was off. My wife was pretty smug about it and I looked a bit of a dick.The roof panels were being ripped off the velodrome.. got there early and I was sat in their car park.. annoying as the wind died off just after they’d cancelled it
I reckon that was one of the greatest goals at the Etihad and thousands missed it because they left early!The floodgates (literally) opened then and we scored another 3 with Yaya getting a late goal after a trade mark run.
How dare you....Thanks Greta.
Yeah, City are going to have to sign taller players so they wont drown. None of these short arses like Aguaro, Silva(s) etc....The rain is shocking to be fair. Something that's going to get worse as the Earth's temperature continues to rise. Football clubs are going to have to adapt long term.

I hate it when they’re rightI was at home with the family having tea and the glass surface on our patio table was lifted and shattered against the wall.

Correct.No Premier League game should ever be called off because of rain.

GladRemember it well. Literally just parked up and walking past the Asda when I got the news. Fuming.
Gladbach fans where already in the stadium when the game was called off. I was on level 3 and had watched them wade through waist deep water to reach the entrance, the water was coming through the south stand roof like a waterfall.Remember it well. Literally just parked up and walking past the Asda when I got the news. Fuming.

It messes up my meal times a bitI know it's not ideal for everyone, but whilst I'm working from home 6pm kick offs are the tits.
Finished at 8 and it interferes with the baby's bedtime less.
