BCFC Taunton Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Anyone know how far back you have to go to find a game called off on the first day of the season due to rain?? Not knocking you OP, genuinely curious! We do get some strange weather over 'ere! Didn't a Sunderland game get called off on the opening day a few years ago.

Talk Of The Town Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just had a downpour in knowle I even had to put my windscreen wipers on. Lets hope this doesn't get any worse or the wells rd, temple meads and the m32 will turn into a river. I'd advise people to stay indoors and watch the game at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys Bollox, I will be having a lie in, followed by a cracking full English, while the rest of you (those that are coming anyway) are up at dawn. The only thing that could ruin my day is the rain starting again but it has been dry now for a couple of hours or Keeperball forgetting my purple and lime.

red panda Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 ... then he rang again to say he is driving in the most treachorous conditions hes ever driven in with the road flooding and cars driving at 15 mph. I could hardly hear him and could hear the rain on his car !! ... I hope you told him to switch his ******* phone off and concentrate on the road! My village had sustained torrential rain and floods 2 weeks ago that the local rag described as "biblical" - within a few hours you wouldn't have known anything had happened.

Palmers Green Red Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Its not yet raining here in Limassol, but the pub up the road is showing the game live at 2:15pm our time, so will look out for the clouds just in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kachina Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Very heavy rain up Sheffield, Greyhound Racing was put back over an hour due to weather and they've only had 4 races so far, when 9 should have been and it's horrible up this way.

Whooooossshhhh Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Got very very close when we were away to Blackpool a few years back when Brooker scored in the last min!! Remember it well.

Cotham Brow Red Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Suppose today in Manchester it rained and the test was off this afternoon so I guess it was expected that rain was gonna hit Sheffield. Surely though a team big enough to be ex Prem have the facilities to get the match on, plus we both lose the telly monies if not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Timmy! Now now Fortunately our groundsman would see the forecast and get covers on the pitch, much like our friends in Sheffield will no doubt have done if they were concerned. Forecast for tomorrow looks fine all over the country, hopefully those up in Sheffield can advise weather to wear shorts or not tomorrow Clothes for the weather!??

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I wouldn't mind betting that the groundsman will still have to water the pitch before kick off tomorrow. Modern pitches drain so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 The ghetto bird is hovering overhead, megaphone out the window warning people to head for high ground. A storm surge is heading our way apparently. There have even been accidents. Leave all possessions (except tickets for tomorrows match as it will be on) behind. Seriously, though, thanks for the warning guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgEEZa Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have out done myself, I might need to sit down. The piste de resistance! Cliffy has only just agreed to belt out "Waterloo" should any toilet break during 90 minutes...... Plus during added time. Sometimes I shock myself, I really do :-D You are welcome people, bloody welcome. Now who do I contact at Bramell Lane to ensure the prat has a microphone. It needs to be waterproof though else he isn't overly keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 In Manchester it hosed it down for about an hour this afternoon, which led to the cricket being abandoned. Barely 2 hours later you'd struggle to tell that it had been raining. Tomorrow is supposedly fine, before we get more rain on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 What on God's earth is going on with this thread?! I live in Sheff and while it rained hard on and off from about 6 till 10, it was never anywhere near enought to get it called off. Barnsley got a lot more rain and was a bit flooded but ( presuming they're at home) will have a game tomorrow. From experience of working across the country, we deal with adverse weather in the north FAR better than you southerners manage it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
