West Ham match postponed - confirmed

[Sky Blue]

At last he's dropped Sterling , Sane and Colin Bell , unless they are injured? Good to see Martin Phillips getting a start , hope Channon scores love his celebration. No Brooking for West Ham .

Corrigan in nets though. Bad memories of West Ham at home.

Offset by the news that Clyde Best and Pop Robson have passed late fitness tests and will play.

Marvin was clearly on the night shift tonight?

This will probably be wasted on here!

Gonna be a long night

 

[George Hannah]

We've established that roads in close proximity to the ground are flooded. Trains are cancelled, motorways shut and/or flooded, but some still think the game should have gone ahead because it'll be calm at half four?

Ok.

correct, all will be calm, sunny and mild at 4-30pm and was for several hours before that - showing none of the above happened or at least not around the Etihad - OK

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The game will be played in the future.

Are the bookies taking bets on that?

I know we all piled into Marvin but bless his cotton socks he called this correctly. It's that warm and sunny out now the fucking tomatoes are ripening at the end of the garden.

With all due respect.

Any idiot can check the weather forecast.

Even me.

Team news, Marvin ?

He’s put Willy in the starting line up!

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

Very upset he’s left out Michael Johnson.

He has real potential.

Shame about Steven Ireland's gran , good to see Morley and Bishop again, just seen Alf Garnett in hospitality!

It's a breeze...

That video just about sums it up. People walking about with umbrellas. If the wind was anywhere near as describe, an umbrella would be impossible.
I fully understand people have to travel from further away. And that some just wouldn't be able to make it.
But whatever happened to people making their own decisions about what is safe or not? (weatherwise)
If people don't feel safe trying to make it to the match, then don't.
Many a time i've abandoned attempts to get to work due to severe weather. I've turned around and gone home. No fuss, no palaver.
I would feel sorry for those with cancelled trains/flights or road closures. But i would have been happy to describe to them how good the match was on here afterwards!
