Will be a good test for fitness in this heat.

May do more harm than good - having played at Oxford, I think I'd be letting players do 45 mins max (except C O'H, who must play the full game to improve his fitness levels, and Dabo, who will need to adapt to his new attacking midfield role )

I assume neither team will be silly and won't play at full pace and plenty of drinks breaks.

I didn’t see you come on mate. Hope you put a shift in

Haha - even in my prime, you'd have been disappointed. The odd flick (that wouldn't have come off) but I would have nutmegged an Oxford player at least once (from 50 attempts!)

Cant see this taking place tbh

Forecast to be 41 degrees tomorrow

31 at kick off. It will take place

 

[Esoterica]

Heard both teams are keen for this to go ahead but they've agreed that everyone will wear an umbrella hat and are planning to put an inflatable pool in the centre circle.

They’re still using Galileo’s instruments in that area of the midlands to measure temperature so we won’t ever find out the real temperature. Not that accurately anyway.

 

[larry_david]

It's on their ifollow

 

[Bad Boy]

Pitch sprinklers on for the duration

From the Walsall forum re: potential stream (or lack thereof)

Can’t see it happening to be honest, we don’t usually organise our own streams when at home, we rely on Villa. Coventry recently played at Oxford and Oxford streamed on ifollow. I just can’t see Coventry arranging the stream at our place. Could be wrong but no mentions of a stream yet.

 

[larry_david]

Ah took it off the ever reliable coventry live

Found the link. Created new account, but didn't like that as it said my email address is already in use. Tried to just log in as existing account, but didn't recognise email or password.

Not sure what to do next. Anyone got any ideas?

Cov tweeted saying it's not on ifollow but I'm just assuming they don't wanna point people to Walsalls website

One of our players will also be sacrificed after the game to ensure a good harvest this year

It's not on there either. Shame.

That's a bit poor, isn't it.

On Saturday didn't realise until the last minute that the Oxford game was on ifollow, then couldn't be bothered trying. Listened to it on BBC Radio Oxford instead.

City are missing a trick not putting their matches on ifollow. I would certainly pay for it, particularly if the money went to City (and before anybody starts moaning, yes we have both got STs so do go to all the home games).

Pretty sure they can't rock up to away games and put it on?

It’s as simple as they don’t have the resources to produce a live stream worth paying for, especially figuring it out an away ground.

 

[Paxman II]

It will be cooling this evening so it should be OK. This will be the b side predominantly I suspect and a run out for one or two others.
Portsmouth will be the team that will resmble the starting line up for Sunderland I suspect.

 

[Nick]

I reckon they should announce the team now.

That way people can decide if they want to go out in this heat to watch it after a day's graft.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I just remembered…the M6 El Classico!

 

[Gint11]

Surely this game will be called off? Hottest day on record! Why are friendlies going ahead? Madness

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

If it’s not been called off yet it won’t be, it’s not like it’s an ever changing situation.

 

[Nick]

The club have just responded to say it will be the home kit..

Wish they would say if it's a second string or 2 teams or whatever.

No disrespect but I don't want to bust a gut to get over there and stand in the heat to watch U18 / U23s.

 

[Alex1987]

first team surely?

 

[chiefdave]

in this heat its just going to be a stroll around anyone isn't it.

Water filling stations around the ground

Can't take own bottle so there will be thousands of plastic cups instead.

 

[Paxman II]

According to my app, it should be raig at 7pm (70% chance) and temperatures mid to low 70's.

You realise this is Walsall not Warsaw? It's not going below 70F tonight let alone at 7.30pm tonight.

Said on the website that you can take in your own plastic water bottles (without lids).
