Depends what row you are in - and indeed how windy it is. It isn't fully covered, so the first few rows will get damp, and then depending on how strong and the direction of the wind, rows back accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at both Meteo and the Met Office it’s going to be windy, and the strongest winds from about 3pm! The heaviest/most persistent rain looks to be over by then though. So who knows!

Having seen our apparently soon to be erstwhile star midfielder referred to variously as Axel and Andy on his own transfer thread, I thought you were doing the same and confirming he would be playing tomorrow, thus putting a lot of us at ease.

You have to admit it makes a change to be about wind and rain for the opening game though! More often than not it’s one of the hottest days of the year and we’re talking about getting hosed down at Gillingham! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Looks like heaviest of the rain will have gone by lunchtime. But the forecast suggests the winds will be worst between 3pm and 5pm. Hardly surprising after many sampling the Ashton Gate catering again after 3 months off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on which way the wind is blowing you can get a bit of a splash if towards the stand's first 10 rows or so. The forecast is NW winds at KO so you should be fine.
