West Ham match postponed - confirmed

[The perfect fumble]

Just wait mate. The Met Office forecast wind speeds of 18 mph at KO which inside a stadium would have been nothing.

You could nip over to the Asda.

Appreciate the notice so not driving from Leeds , anyone saying it should go ahead or called off much earlier is off the mark .

I'm sure you'll have driven in a lot worse, and the journey back would have been a doddle.

Do me a favour and look out of your house tonight at 7pm when we would have all been turning out of the ground.

Luke Shaw has just turned up.

Brilliant . Lol

 

[Eccles Blue]

Just imagine if the game went ahead and dozens of folk were blown into the Ashton Canal or impaled on the gasometer at t'other end o' the Blue Car Park. And I must say, I'd be a little peeved if, after the match I found that my car had been blown off said car park and ended up in Cheetham Hill. Imagine the furore the City Safety Office would cop for! Not worth thinking' about!

Plus trying to wade through the flood that is already on Alan Turing Way!

It's started to settle down, I think they might have made the decision a little too early.

Yes it's really OK now here in East Manchester. I guess people are supposed to travel in from other more affected areas and the transport network in this country goes tits up at any adverse weather so they'd be damned whatever they decided.

Why we are calling off a game in Manchester when its now ok by you in Ireland i will never fucking know.........

It was never not ok. Calling that a storm is insulting to storms

 

[manimanc]

he doesn't fancy it ..is it the one from Dubai ?

It is and now it's at 20 thousand feet, I think he's had enough.

 

[RandomJ]

Hearing kick off might be delayed after the team bus ran into some troubles.

Under the Bridge?

Maybe a nice fixture pile up comming our way...

With Arsenal (H) and now West Ham (H) postponed, if we do well in the FA cup (always IF not when) and get to the FA Cup QF Chelsea (A) joins the list and if we get to the SF Newcastle (H) will also join the list.

No problem if we lose to Real Madrid of course; however, if we stay in that competition as well we could have 4 games to rearrange and only 2 midweek windows to play them in:

• Tue 21st/Wed 22nd April.
• Tue 12th/Wed 13th May..

As we aren’t challenging for the league then it really doesn’t fucking matter, does it.
