Ghost_of_Pongo_Waring Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 SSN have just said that the game tonight is still going ahead despite bad weather in the Midlands and up North! SSN said the Stoke v Fukham game was going ahead despite bad weather. They didn't mention our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted January 5, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2010 Taken just.... and there was nothing at 7!!! It's just taken me three hours to do less than 50miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 our coach is leaving at 3 which was risky imo anyway, gonna be a right struggle now You are joking aren't you? Brum to Blackburn under normal conditions shouldn't take anything longer than between 2.5 and 3 hours, the route there is all along the M6 and eventually the M65, the stadium is one mile from the motorway junction so it really should NOT pose a massive problem. If you cannot make it to Blackburn upon leaving at 3pm I will eat my own pants, the dirty ones in the washing basket too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee that if conditions do not change then you would be pushing it. From 21-29 is a mess and the M65, although the clearest Mway at present is still running at 20mph only.

NulliSecundus Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It will be on what makes you say that? 1) It's on SKY 2) Birmingham to Blackburn is practically all motorway, M42/M5 (from the south), M6, M65. Ewood Park is 1km from junction 4 of the M65. No-one should have any problems. 3) We knew about the weather for ages, the ground staff will have been working consistently to keep the public areas of the ground ice free. I'm driving fom Derby at 4 and even that is only 5 roads. A38S. A50, A500, M6, M65 - all main roads with more than one lane of traffic. No-one should have a problem. Not least the fact that snow is only expected until around noon in Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about surrounding areas to the ground, the same reason Wigan v Bolton I think it was, was called off just before xmas...due to the paths and roads outside the ground, not the pitch itself or even the motorways.

Baker_Villa Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just had a text from my mate that reads as follows : 'Iv just called blackburn customer services and they said the game should def go ahead unless there is a major storm but will 100% no by 5pm' Now I dont know how accurate this is but its what he has been told. 5pm is no use to anyone though ! Looks like we are going to be starting out about 12 then baring any further official announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
