Was wondering if the game would be postponed so I looked at the BBC forecast:-

Noticed that the windspeed peaks at 55mph at guess which time? Yes, 15:00 Saturday.

We’ll be okay, the last two games v Bolton and Portsmouth have been blustery, might dictate what team MR puts out though.

Armed with those statistics (it's predicted to be 43mph at 10am) can they really justify waiting an hour before KO to call the game off?
At what time was Man City's game called off the other day?
When was the last time we won away from home in winds of 50(+) mph?

I don't know, but if it's blowing down the pitch rather than across it I'm sticking a few bob on one of the keepers scoring from a goal kick

If the ball can’t stay still in dead ball situations they will have to call it off. I’m sure. 55mph will blow the ball away before it’s kicked at corners, free kicks, goal kicks etc.

Can’t see it going ahead tbh.

It's also to do with supporter safety too, so if stand roofs are rattling, or stuff is in danger of being blown over etc, it might not go ahead.

Yes indeed. The earlier they make a decision the better as fans will be travelling. Driving conditions will be dangerous as well.

Our coach leaves at 8.30. I have about 10% expectation of the game going ahead!

The 55mph figure is gusts, it won't be blowing 55 the whole time.

Obviously it's still going to be bloody windy, but depending on how sheltered it is inside the ground I can see it going ahead

It's what's going on outside which forms the decision.

Down to safety who makes that decision though, doubt it will be the referee so probably Police all to do with public safety

Travelling from London to this one today (have to use those apparently dangerous tubes I’ve just been reading about) so will be leaving this as late as possible... what time would the decision usually be made?

1-2pm could be up to kick off it’s just one of them things although my gut tells me it goes ahead

I would guess midday, might be worth a phone call to ground or even police
