It was gale force type weather v Huddersfield last season and we spanked them 4-0. Set pieces should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 The result could be one helluva lottery because of the weather. Whichever side gets lucky, with gusts of wind to assist or driving rain in the faces of defenders, will be grateful. If it's us then OK but if not then let's hope we end up with what we start with; one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 When a match is played in horrible conditions it is a leveler skill wise and those with the biggest hearts tend to win . I would favour us as the close knit home side, on a good run and being backed by twenty odd thousand vocal City supporters. Let the hostilities commence ( well on Saturday anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Just been looking at the forcasts and it doesn't look good at all for around 3 o'clock Saturday. People have said things like the weather experts don't know etc etc .. but i'm afraid they do and are VERY accurate these days. Well, we had Nigel come and bugger up the last home game.. now we welcome storm Brian how ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First we knew about a goal was the cheer. Something playing tricks with your memory, as the Cashley goal versus Hull was scored at the Open End! The postponed game versus Leeds was 0-0 when call off at halftime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In temperate climes, you cannot have a hurricane by definition. I was driving for City Line on that night on the 24/25 route Lockleaze to Whitchurch and a 6 foot high fence panel blew across the road in Lockleaze and just missed the front of the bus, scary! The next day on the same route most of Lockleaze houses had roof tiles off and loads were broken over the roads. Never seen anything like that since the Great Storm. The storm that is due has been named Brian by the Irish and they will get the first impact again, the luck of the Irish eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Given our over zealous SAG, is it likely to be off on H&S grounds ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumpylegs Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Forecasts are looking seriously bad for Saturday! Thinking that this could be postponed due to dangerous conditions around the stadium. Seem to remember games being called off before for this reason. Hope call is made early if this is the case.

CrazyInWeston Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Forecast to be 53mph wind gusts and 26mph sustained winds according to this nifty little graphic at 3pm Saturday.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 AG can cope with a bit of wind, its been built to withstand anything the British weather can throw at it. The same can surely not be said of the tents and carports on the other side of town, which I am fully expecting to be ripped apart by a gale.
