sellyoakvilla Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Any chance the snow will freeze over and this will be postponed too? Hope not, going to this aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Temperatures are well below freezing for most of the next five days, and a light snow shower forecast for Friday night. So it should be on, but knowing this country and how it over-reacts to bad weather, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Blackburn had several inches of snow in the space of about 2 hours.. there were car accidents all around the area, which was the main reason for the game being off. The forecast for the next few days is cold and a bit of snow, but we shouldn't get anything the local authorities and ground staff can't handle. Need a result this game, 3 losses on the bounce will damage our confidence, no matter who 2 of them were against. Wigan are looking pretty poor right now, but Wigan can sometimes just play a blinder out of nowhere... so we will need to really come back strong.

brady08 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There game was at home at 3 last Sat so would imagine it will be good to go. Its the night game that seem to be falling victim of the weather. Badly need the 3 points here and can then relax and watch the pool v spurs on sunday hopefually playin out a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganvillain Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well it's Tuesday, nearly 2 pm and it's still snowing and there's already about 4 to 5 inches lying. Just been told by the neighbour that Wigan Council have run out of Grit and as the DW is effectively on an unadopted road / retail park it probably won't get cleared unless dave Whelan coughs up for it Hmmmmmm Will keep you updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think this game will be off tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparey16 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 got tickets for this aswell. it better be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carew_villa Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If it's called off we will have a BIG rest considering it was only reserve players against Blackburn in the FA Cup. We'll have to play a lot of games in a short space of days which will be tough. Annoyed at this as I also think this game will be called off.

wiganvillain Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 OK, good news. It's stopped snowing, as long as we don't get any more the game on Saturday should be on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Will be gutted if it's off. Hope it stop's snowing and clears up about friday 12pm... Would go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Coker Delph Milner Downing Gabby Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Please, please don't be off, this is the most complicated away day I have ever had to sort out. Managed to find acceptable train prices so we have got enough beer money left and sort taxis out. If it's off I will be gutted! Wigan away is quality! I would go with: GK Friedel RB L.Young CB Cuellar CB Dunne LB Warnock CM Reo-Coker CM Petrov © CM Milner (if not fit, Delph) LF Downing CF Gabby RF A.Young CM CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baalberith Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If this is off as well I'll be bloody gutted. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If it's on we bloody well need to win it. Still -too early to call on whether it'll be off i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Desperately need the win here, even a draw is not good enough. We also owe them from the first game of the season. Another defeat will see confidence crumble IMO and leave us too much chasing to do (thoughts of last year will come flooding back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos_The_Villain Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I won't be happy if these falls foul of the weather as well, i'm going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Will be gutted if it's off. Hope it stop's snowing and clears up about friday 12pm... Would go: Friedel Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Coker Delph Milner Downing Gabby Young This for me. Delph and Milner interchanging with Ash and DJ with NRC covering. Would be awesome. Won't happen though - 4-4-2 with Stan and Emile back in I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2010 We're gonna start with 4-4-2. I don't know why people kid themselves into thinking it'll be anything else. We'll only start 4-5-1 if both carew and Heskey are injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
