marbelladave Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Just started in West London, very fine but settling. Roads are well gritted so no problem there but the sky looks full of the bloody stuff...... I imagine it will have to be pretty severe to get the game cancelled, Sky will want it to go ahead even if the punters can't get there.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Its a white-out down here in Winchester, worst I've seen since moving down here, predicted to last all day. Football? No chance for Winchester City!! Same here in basingstoke. I drove home just 5 hours ago from my mates. There was literally nothing on the roads. I've just looked out my window... What the Fuuuuck! Still, if the games going ahead, I'm there!
MrSpaM Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 The middle of town is fine. Unless there is a massive blizzard before kick off it'll go ahead.
Lobsterboyuk Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Looking fine right now just a couple of miles from the ground...
The People's Hero Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 No snow in Maidstone (completely irrelevantly).
AoWW Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Quite a lot of snow in mid Norfolk (also irrelevant).
jimmer Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Absolutely gunning it down in Stroud (indeed totally irrelevant).
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Still possibly worth knowing in case it moves over to Leicester (I don't know much about the weather so that's a potentially really stupid comment ).
The People's Hero Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Absolutely gunning it down in Stroud (indeed totally irrelevant). Stroud (Gloucs) or Stroud (Kent)? Other Strouds may be available which I'm ignorant of.
jimmer Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Stroud (Gloucs) or Stroud (Kent)? Other Strouds may be available which I'm ignorant of. Gloucestershire! apologies for any confusion caused with my ignorant belief, that only one Stroud exists in this world! But yeah very heavy and ive been told its heading straight to the King power...
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 isn't there already a 12 page thread for this? And there is plenty more to come, could will make the record for posts on a day !!!!!
AoWW Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 What happened to Stroud Fox? I'm sure she existed and wasn't just a figment of my imagination. Did Jake Shingler start stalking her and scare her off? (Also completely irrelevant!)
Ashley Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Started to snow very lightly in the Birstall area.

I have seen a few replica kits being worn locally, so know there are a few supporters in town, wasn't aware any were on here though...
Jace Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Stop pointing out inconvenient truths. Acooling, I'm 3000+ miles away and am working throughout the duration.....I will, however, be watching it on T.V. Am I to assume that makes me a ****? I'll be keeping an eye out for you, singing ya heart out throughout the match. Perhaps, parental permission permitting, you could take a banner with you saying 'if you're reading this on TV or you're not singing you're a ****'. If you start work now you could have it all poster painted up and certified as fire safe. It's on sky, let's all have a pop at the ones that can't go. EDIT : Just to say that my house is actually IN Leicester and I choose career over City from time to time. Pap
Bert Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Pissing it down with snow in Guildford. If it's currently clear around te ground there's a good chance it goes ahead. All depends in the heavy snow forecast for later on.
surrifox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 it will be the same for both sides i suppose although that will not stop me feeling irked if we suffer the same fate as at ipswich a year back - sacrificed to the demands of sky in a farcical lottery
indierich06 Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Oh shit, it's just started coming down BIG time here. Hope Leicester's not like this.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 I E-Mailed fanzone about this last night and have received the following from that great person that is Jim: Thank you for your email fanzone. We are confident the match will go ahead, the under soil heating is on, we have just had the gritters out in the car parks and surrounding areas and we do not foresee any problems. We do also understand that the weather is due to change today at some point and with this in mind we will be monitoring the situation throughout the day. We will make an announcement as soon as we can if we think the game is in danger but I must stress at this moment in time the game is not in danger and is definitely ON. Kind Regards Jim Still weighing this up. Given how the snow is in other parts of the country (it's still rather heavy down here), I feel there is a real chance it will be called off. I almost wish they'd just call it off now and be done with it.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Started to snow very lightly in the Birstall area. Very lightly is an understatement! The wind is a killer this morning.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 It's pissin down with snow If it stays like this for long it could well be off I'd imagine.

Only in England do we let a bit of snow ruin our lives. In every other country they just grit the roads, clear the pathways and get on with it. The undersoil heating should stop the snow from settling and the pitch freezing and the gritters and a bit of elbow grease (get the snow shovels out) will stop the surrounding areas from being impassable.
