Sheffield weather watch

[gazzer, loyal royal]

just spoken to someone at the club, and while the pitch will be ok, the surrounding areas will be the problem

The club will be speaking to the football league before saturday

the same thing happened for the newcastle game- so don't hold you breathe that it'll be on. A postposed game is more likely, which is gutting as I have 2 tickets

[roadrunner]

I know it is only Wednesday but we have had a mountain of snow up here in Sheffield (around 18 inches this morning) and it is still falling. No buses, trains and a few cars venturing out. Will keep you posted.

You did not get 18 inches this morning. I bet you tell all the ladies you have a 12 inch penis as well?

least you get to travel up for a midweel revised clash

[NR_Royal]

To be fair, there's at least a foot of snow all over Sheffield. Which is ghey cos I actually have 10 tickets for the game as I was planning to show the wonder that is Jimmy Kebe to my flatmates...

[UpNorth]

Roadrunner, believe me the snow is at least 18 inches deep and more in parts here in Ecclesall which is about 3 miles from the ground. The snow is still falling .......

[From Despair To Where?]

I can vouch for the fact that there has been at least 12 inches of snow in the Sheffield area today and that there is no public transport in and out of the city. None of my Sheffield based staff have got to work today. I'm in Bradford and we've had about 8 inches of snow today and we're nowhere near as badly hit as South Yorkshire
.
There is more snow forecast for tonight and the temperature is not expected to get above -2 any time before Saturday and the roads are already as icy as oxf*rd. As someone else has said, the pitch may be fine but if the roads, pavements and approaches to the stadium are not safe, the game will not go ahead.

[Archie's penalty]

95 % sure the game won't go ahead so I'll wait before I buy tickets...

[biscuitman]

Booked on the train to go up Saturday morning so hope it's on!

Me bloody too! 9.40 train...

[FiNeRaIn]

Great news if this game is called off, it'll probably take place after Jan so hopefully by then we'll have the couple of million pound striker everyone is expecting. We might actually score some goals in this game.

[Compo's Hat]

I just hope that if they do call the game off they do it before we all set off Saturday morning.

The rearranged 3-1 win up there a few years back is one of my favourite away wins still.


Noticed the SPL have already cancelled this weekends fixtures!

[susieroyal]

The called off game a few years ago was one of my favourite ever away days - no interrupted drinking!

[Royal Tezza]

Im a student up in Sheffield. I am balls deep in snow. Hope the match goes ahead though as i have work that i don't want to be getting on with

Have you been eating the snow or something?

That will be a 100% called off then. The snow wont melt by the weekend if that is the case and it'll become icy too. Game off!

^this. Just walked outside and plenty of snow has fallen today, and with the Met Office issuing more weather warnings for Yorks & Humber, this game IMHO won't be on.

[Kitson12]

Am really hoping it will be on. I'd be mega pissed off if it is.

I know it is only Wednesday

I thought we were playing United?

[Kitsondinho]

I'm almost certain it will be off and the snow really is that deep in Sheffield....it is just as bad here in Chesterfield! Mrs Kits couldn't get in Sheffield today, by car, bus or train........

[RichieBowman]

I live on the Derbyshire side of the Peak District and weather looks bad for tomorrow and Friday. Gutted if it is called off as only half an hour on train to Sheff.

I did not realise there were so many Reading fans in Derbyshire. Anyone from around Buxton/ High Peak ?
