bcfcdeano Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thought I'd kick this topic off early - hopefully heading to AG today from deepest darkest Dorset, if anyone in the BS3 region could keep us up to day with the weather situation that would be greatly appreciated..............if its anything like down here its mainy wind, some rain, but mainly wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's currently blowing a hoolie, but the rain is meant to have mostly gone by 12, and I'd imagine those covers will be staying on as late as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Homer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 blowing a gale and pissing it down at the moment and has been most of the night - here's hoping the covers are waterproof and Del names a side that can play the ball on the floor to compensate for the wind (we can all live in hope i guess!).

simonwheeler Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just been out to get the papers (Dogs certainly DIDNT fancy it) and large puddles already forming on gardens / lawns.

Olé Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 In BS3 right now not far from AG and since about 10 minutes ago it's been the same apocalyptic rain we had just before kick off on Boxing Day - absolutely smashing it down, windows are buffeting in the rain. If it doesn't dry out later, the volume coming down now is too much to be absorbed or just run off naturally. But we live in hope.... (maybe we can get a bye into next seasons Championship if it rains for the rest of the season and we can't complete out fixtures). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtucks Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Heavy rain through the morning giving the risk of flooding, gradually clearing eastern areas by the start of the afternoon. Turning brighter and colder behind the rainband, with scattered showers following, heavy in places. Remaining windy throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Its stopped in thornbury. If there is a late pitch inspection would the club allow fans to help clear the water of the pitch because against watford there was only 4 groundsman and other areas of the pitch were becoming worse.

Mrdc Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 surely it dosn't matter unless the covers are on I guess that the rain will be sitting on the covers and then the surface water has to be moved somewhere when the covers are removed.
