West Ham (h) pre-match thread

Just win by 3 goals or more and I will be more than happy. ;-)

Well if it does go ahead it will be half empty!

Will certainly be the lowest bums on seats attendance of the season. Train speed limits of 50mph across the whole network with advice not to travel, Flights cancelled and no doubt more to come. Can’t see there being more than 45k in the ground. Maybe less.

We had two games abandoned against Ipswich in the 90s

Must be something about the tractor boys

I travelled from Nottingham for the League cup game and remember being mightily pissed off but to be fair it had become unplayable.

As I said I can only think of one home game called off in 20 years, so my point stands. Get yourself a coat

BMG & Sunderland

30k tomo.

I'm not a gambler mate, maybe it's because everyone has lumped on England so they have shortened their odds.. Is that how it works?

Regarding the Champions League, we were clear favourites with them when I looked this morning..

Maybe there is a big wedge riding on us to win it..!

It’s our year...

Allegedly.

Don't go all scouse on me SB.. Ha!

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Have they cancelled or just put warnings out ?

Looked on train line earlier and there arnt as many trains running, might be because it's a Sunday or.might be the weather. Bloody annoying either way.

I’ll just keep checking in the morning
Edit cancelled all the London trains through Wilmslow

Bournemouth travelling to Sheffield. Hammers to Manchester. Forecast hasn't changed, dire weather to come.

But there are two TV shows on tomorrow, one live from Sheffield and one from Manchester.

The fact that there's a storm and a few thousand of the studio audience won't be able to make it because their 500 mile round trip proves impossible is an irrelevance to those who run Football TV.

Both games should have been pulled already. Look at Belgium and Netherlands.

The game's gone.

With official advice of not to travel anywhere in UK unless necessary why is the game still on? Greed, money, Sky TV viewers....?

So they can spend all game going on about empty seats

You answered your own question.

Don’t travel unless absolutely necessary unless you are a football fan who we don’t give a shit about.

 

[worsleyweb]

I honestly think this will get called off.

 

[Gray]

If the weather is bad as predicted I expect the Metrolink to be unable to cope and that will screw me up for getting to the stadium. Pity we didn’t play today but that wouldn’t suit the TV companies would it.

I remember this game. If I remember correctly they only called it off after we scored and looked like going on to win.

I do recall it being horrific.

 

[typicalcity...]

Coming from the midlands. Doubtful I’ll be going now - trainline won’t be using again. Tried to get a refund and charging me £10 admin fee off the price. Just submitted a refund form instead

 

[come-on-barney]

Not sure if any trains will be running from South Wales, but if they are going to postpone the game hope they do it early.

Garden gate rattling, not sure I can survive this .

You will think so when you wake up in morning it’ll be gone :)
