Surely they need to tell people there's a chance before they all get in their cars and drive in the fog to get there from around the country?

that's my point

when we had that game vs lincoln called off for snow they called it early in the day for that reason

you have to at least tell people there's a chance before 4500 people drive from sheffield

 

[David O'Day]

that's worse than cov surely, i can currently see at least the end of a football away

Ooh good a two week break, just what the management need to install some more backbone!

 

[David O'Day]

puts this to bed a long as it doesn't get worse

 

[wingy]

Leicester ground appears to be clearer!

I was going to put similar, surely visibility will be poorer when the floodlights are on if conditions stay the same

The ad boards will be cranked up to 50000000000000% brightness again.

With a bit of luck Mark Robins might sign him again.

Hes cost him 1 job already

Look, on Boxing Day I could barely see my car from the kitchen window, and it’s about 6 or 7 yards away.

Now I’m stood here and if I squint I can read the size of the tyres on it. The conditions are fine.

 

[wingy]

Plus my glasses come with wipers, brilliant Chinese offering from temu!

Swindon game due to restart at 4

Perfect pitch invasion weather, they’ll never know. Sheff Weds won’t notice with the 11 invaders they’re up against.

It reasures me that I will be able to pass the eye test in a couple of years, but it's to no avail as I will be giving up the car in the not to distant, hopefully public transport will improve enough to serve what is required.

Are the fans still there, good ruse to sell more food+beverage!

Went for a run earlier and it was absolutely freezing, it’s not as cold now (by 1 degree) but likely will be when we leave.

Suggest wearing all the layers - I’m going for full skiing underlayers!

 

[chiefdave]

We should try and sneak an extra player on.

Love how the clubs tweet that the game is on is accompanied by a picture where you can see fuck all!

We’ve been stopped by rain and the flying dude so far this season. What are the odds on a stoppage on this one because nobody can see anything.

Get one of giant fleece hoodie's that go down to your knees, perfect attire for home or out and WFH!

Judging by some of the refereeing performances this season, heavy fog won't make any difference, most refs are blind anyway!

Bbi, big breasted?

Turner saying the ref has scheduled another inspection for 5pm

I think that’s just going to be clips of any goals not the full game

 

[fernandopartridge]

Easy way to fix it (which will never happen) - give the winner the 4th Champions League place. And stop dicking around with Thursday/ Friday night games.

No. Further entrenches that idea that the domestic game is subservient to the champions League

 

[Johhny Blue]

You can’t play in that

Where are ya?

[chiefdave]

So what’s the verdict, are people heading up and hoping for the best?

Tempted to wait for the second inspection and team news. If it’s reserves and not being able to see most of the pitch not sure I can be arsed tbh!

It'll only get worse as it gets darker and colder, leaving Rugby at 4.45 so CWR better keep up to date on it!!

I’m thinking I might leave a bit later than usual, might leave it as late as 5 to make sure it’s still on and it’s not got a lot colder or foggier

Should make offside decision's interesting.

Can’t even give Bassette the benefit of the doubt.
