LancsVillan Posted January 5, 2010 Moderator 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. 1. Indeed it is on Sky. 2. Those motorways as per my previous post are not easy roads, THEN you have the local roads which are poorly gritted and proving a nightmare. All Blackburn busses are stopped as an indication. If the police think that getting from the motorways to the ground is too dangerous it will be off. If I were to bet on it currently, living 15 or so miles away, I'd bet that I'll be sat watching telly tonight and not at Ewood. The clubs will need to decide pretty much just after noon to allow everyone to get to the match on time, home fans, away fans and players. So if it snows until noon and it shows no sign of letting up here the easiest decision will be to say no and come back another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
