West Ham match postponed - confirmed

[Gordyola]

Look at the forecast for Manchester at 4.30pm to 6pm.

Those conditions are nothing unusual and the pitch is surrounded by a stadium. It will be good for football. It's not been played on Aberystwyth beach in the teeth of a strorm, it's being played in amodern stadium when the storm will have passed.

Gale force winds with gust up to 50mph nothing unusual where do you live in a wind tunnel?

Tree just blown down onto main road in Marple near to where I live. I've been up to Bamber Bridge this morning on a job and weather on M60 around North Manchester was really bad. Game should be called off in my opinion.

It's just not as bad as it was for the cancelled Sunderland game round here. A bit wet and breezy. But seeing a lot of warnings from transport operators so who knows.

all well and good but if the fans cant get there the the press will have a field day. No football match is worth risking your life for even if I had tickets I would be staying in my little bungalow in SE Kent I am not travelling in 70 mph plus winds to Manchester !!

You genuinely aren't in the real world

Its more and supporters safety travelling to and from the game.
The forecast around the stadium is the same until about 6pm, then the high winds drop.

Just delay it a couple of hours then.

Do you want me to post the met office forecast for the game time again?

At the time of the game, and when it finishes the weather is forecast to be nothing exceptional. Be rational, and not hysterical. The Met Office have published the forecasts

Not a chance the game is going ahead imo

It certainly isn't 'breezy' in Euxton: it's blowing a fucking gale.

Sheff Utd are in the real world.
