Will The Derby Game Be Called Off???

[lionheart]

As the Sheikh is shit scared of ice on the runway, it will be called off...defo.

I hope for my mates sake that this doesnt get called off, he has travelled over from Malaga especially for this game, be gutted if its postponed!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

It sounds an obvious point but I don't believe the game would be off unless there was heavy snow tomorrow. If, as sounds likely, the snow stops today, the roads will be clear pretty quickly. The gritters and traffic will see to that.

So all the snow that's turned to slush today freezes overnight, stays frozen tomorrow daytime...and you're confident it'll be on?!

Yeah, just makes the journey and the day a bit more exciting.

SERIOUSLY! THE CLUB MUST WAIT TIL TOMORROW MORNING 8AM BEFORE CALLING THIS OFF!

It should wait til about 3pm if there's ANY chance it can still go ahead. No need to call this one off ridiculously early with both teams being "local".

That forecast doesn't sound promising though. It's the -7 minimum for tonight and 0 maximum for tomorrow that will be the killer.

Anybody know what the snow is like in Stoke as their match is still going ahead and is now televised on sky, imagine the gritters and club will be working through the night to try and clear the area. Just depends how badly/if it freezes overnight.

i live near crewe about 15 mins from stoke, we have only had about an inch of snow but has just started snowing but quite light so dont imagine there will be a problem.

yeah one ov the teams fans are local i wonder which

3pm would be a problem for me. That would give me 4hrs to do what usually takes 3hrs. I'd be skating on thin ice. Wahey

Just had text from mate at City, they are discussing it ! If hear anything will post

 

[quiet_riot]

What about those who aren't great on their feet? They might be snowed in and unable to get to the game even if others can. Be harsh for them to miss our first semi in 28 years.
