West Ham match postponed - confirmed

[Gordyola]

The travelling fans now have to travel back and those travelling back down south will be doing so in the middle of the storm.

If the game was played at 4:30 they would have travelled back in improving (improved) weather conditions.

So you wanted them to continue in the weather conditions that you describe as the middle of a storm so that they can drive home on improved conditions

if theyd have got there in the first place judging by the cancellations of trains and moterway closures

People could have died. Or at least had to manoeuvre around some puddles

I wasn’t going today but if I was probably oo many roads closed around here for me to get there, and it was called off early enough that I wouldn’t have needed to try. This is a good thing.

I tripped over a power ranger while holding a hot mug of tea. I don't think that was the weather's fault though.

No, City's fault. I am safe in the front room aswell, rather than standing in the piss wet through at Alfreton. The lengths we go to just to watch football eh.

There's a lot of Marvin wannabe's here, who don't care of accidents or deaths due to the adverse weather conditions, of all fans travelling to the Etihad from all parts of the country

My point was that looking at the weather forecast for 4:30, at the time they made the decision, they got it wrong; the situation was, and is, improving.

I guess they have to consider the weather outside of a 10 mile radius of the stadium though....

Ah look, I'm just having a bit of fun

Safety is obviously paramount

Doesn't bode well for the UK's infrastructure though that its crippled by a bit of a wetting. It wasn't even that bad
