If Fans were going it would be called off.

3000 homes at risk of flooding. Parts of the M60 and major routes in the city closed. Etc.

As someone 5,000 miles away and looking forward to the game. How bad is it there right now? Anyone genuinely think it may be called off?

Should be fine unless we have one of those lethargic ones which sometimes follow a good performance like Sunday. Hopefully 3 points, top of the table, trump gone and vaccine here soon.

It’s an unknown quantity will Villa not playing for a few days. Will they be running like the clappers with the rest or will the disruption knock them off their game? Hopefully the latter, more than enough talent on the pitch we hammered them 3 times last season.

Think we'll be ok bud.

Steady rain rather than deluge so hopefully the pitch will cope with it.

It seems to have eased off now, if it was in danger of being called off maybe we’d have notification by now nearly two and a half hours to go.

Persistent rain and just driven past a river near Bury which is a torrent.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Cant see this going ahead tonight.

Absolutely lashing it down.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Lol, in 20 years time, COVID will be a distant memory. Global warming on the other hand....

Fuck...if it's not one thing it's another...

It’s absolutely leathering it down still, and don’t think it’s going to ease up before the game. Think it should still go ahead but not sure what state the pitch will be in.
