West Ham match postponed - confirmed

Not a chance the game is going ahead imo

Sheff Utd is so why not?

Just delay it a couple of hours then.

Might seems sensible but not a great scenario for WH fans traveling back.

all well and good but if the fans cant get there the the press will have a field day

And if it’s rearranged for tomorrow night as suggested, there’ll be just as many can’t make it for other reasons

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

Most people either don't live next door to the stadium or possess a pair of ruby slippers.

They'd be tucked up in bed with a nice cup of Ovaltine for 1am.

Why not? Sheffield United have confirmed their game is on.

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

It’s that bad it’s blown half the B away. Plus didn’t a cricket match get snowed off in August in Buxton?

Thanks for the updates, anyone from city on the inside able to put any info up?
The trains are all limited to 50mph for the entire network today.

50mph limit won't affect Northern Rail

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.

Transport operators are always extremely cautious. They have to be. The game kicks off at 4.30 pm and is based in Manchester. If Sheff Utd is on, then our game absolutely should be on.

(the trains are off )

So pretty much a standard day for Northern Rail!

The weather here on the Fylde coast right now is no worse than unpleasant and we normally get the worst of any storms coming over the Atlantic, if I was going to a local game I'd be more concerned about the amount of rain than the wind. I can't believe it's that much worse 35/40 miles inland.
