West Ham match postponed - confirmed

[manimanc]

Just let the spaniel out in Bolton.

Think he should be at the Etihad in about 15 minutes the way the wind took his ears

No better sight than spaniels ears.

I reckon the storm will have passed by kickoff and all it achieves is it exacerbates our fixture schedule and deprives us of the chance to bounce back (unless it is rescheduled before our visit to the Bernabeu). Going to a game is made by adults who should have the ability to weigh up whether it is safe to travel or not.

Kick Off time is not the decisive factor. Travelling to and from the game is.
Adults made the decision to call it off.

Followed by ffs when they're told their flights are cancelled.

They wont be on the 14.35 easy jet to Menorca mate.

In hospital and was missing this game anyway.

my flight from Belfast went ahead there at and landed 11.40. Would of been gutting news to get off the plane to.

managed to get my tickets sold on the exchange. Do they become void for those people and I can use them again??

That sound you're hearing?

The whooping of Wags, bits on the side and the lifting of Louis Vuitton luggage being dragged to the limo earlier than planned.

Think of them and our players in their hour of need...

What if the game rearranged for next week;)

will Pep come out and say I won’t be there the youth team be playing and Taylor be managing it! ;)

I wonder if anyone else can confirm?

My memory is hazy

Have googled. Two games abandoned (as @tolmie's hairdoo said) verses Ipswich. My memory is from January 1994 when City were 2-0, abandoned by the ref David Ellery because of the state of the Mane Road pitch. You remember the Worthington cup quarter final in December 2000, City had just equalised (1-1) and Graham Poll suspended the game for 15 minutes again due to the waterlogged Maine Road surface. He had an attempted kick about the linesmen after a couple of minutes then abandoned the game at the 23 minute mark. Ahh, not so happy days...

or perhaps I know its a long shot but perhaps City are putting the safety of its fans before the finances of the TV companies ..

Crazy idea!
It's obviously why they've called it off though, the roads will be chaos - it seems unarguably unsafe to be out.

So.

Watching the other matches on TV, numerous bottles of Proper Job, and the Mr slaving over the hob and oven cooking a Sunday Roast..

It's a tuff life being a real Man. ;-)

Our next game is 22/02 they can still have a week in the sun most of us can't afford.

That being said it'll end up I think being a spring evening game when we've got a cup semi/final to play 2 days later...

Looking at the calendar, if we progress in FA and Euro cups, we only have 3 free midweeks before end of the season, and one will be the re-arranged Arsenal game, one a rearranged FA Cup semi game home vs Newcastle, so might only be one free slot left in a season of playing twice a week every week. Need to get some serious rotation going on for Premier League games from now on

I was being serious, used to affect our phone and TV with VM.

Yes, it sounded like you had experience of such a thing but amongst all the other stuff being posted about the weather and the game being on or off, your post was a little gem.
