Cannot see how this can go ahead, forecast for London looks bad for later in the day. Wembley looked a mess last night and it’s only going to get worse.

They don’t give a toss about fans so as long as the pitch is playable I can see it being played. How many fans will be there to watch it is a anybody’s guess.

If the infrastructure and the surrounding area is dangerous they'll have to cancel. They have a duty of care. Also if the stewards and other club officials cannot get there again they'll have to cancel.

I think the silence is deafening. Even if they were to say there'll be an announcement at say 11 o'clock so City fans can decide whether or not to travel it'd be helpful.

It will be the surrounding areas.
To me their is no way this will go ahead tonight, the Spurs Dale match could have been postponed mid game the way the conditions where last night.

It’ll give arseholenal a great excuse for the swaths of empty seats that will be there tonight whatever the weather conditions
 
Paddy power are still offering 15/8 that the match is called off. So those adamant it will be postponed should make some money from it.
 
Suspect it will go ahead because once Sky have it in their schedules they'd definitely rather put the safety of fans having to travel hundreds of miles at risk than inconvenience a single person watching at home. The whole thing does seem ridiculous though. They have known there was going to be terrible weather for over a week, they have known that both clubs have a free weekend coming up when it is the FA quarter finals for over a week and I cannot believe for one minute that either club would rather have played it tonight than on that weekend as soon as we were knocked out of the cup. The morning after the Wigan match this should have been rescheduled.
 
BBC suggested last night that the nasty stuff was going to be west of Reading/Swindon area.

Most likely to be cancelled because of lack of stewards/officials who are put off or cant get to the ground.

There’s not really any fresh snow coming down in south west London right now.
 
streets not as bad as some of you think, No spurs or dale fans injured by the snow flakes last night, game on [emoji16]
