Home Match Build Up 23/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Barnsley

I think the wind/weather could spoil the game, but hope we can find a win

narrow home win on a wet and windy tuesday night - 2-1

 

[MustardYellow]

Barnsley are flying at the minute but we've had a long rest and 'home advantage'.

Can see it being a scrappy one.

 

[LeftSideLarry]

On the evidence of their game against Carlisle, which I’m sad enough to have watched in its entirety, they were very poor.

I think the wind will make it a bit of a lottery, but I’ll go for a 1-0 victory to us.

Prediction: Game postponed. Little bit windy… officials worried players might ruin their quiffs…

It won't bother Herbie Kane .....

How long are these strong winds expected to go on for?

Has a game at league level ever been called off for "wind" ?

If any of you have a pre match ritual of a pint in The William Morris make other arrangements as its shut for a tasteful refurbishment.

Didn't Swindon do it a few times because one of their stands moved in strong wind?

Mansfield away!

Yes, Mansfield away, abandoned at half time because of the strong wind. I can't remember which season, but I seem to recall that Howard Webb was the referee.

To be fair, if I was a stand in that ground I'd try and move away when the opportunity struck too.

At least until Wednesday morning, but picks up again (50 mph+) around kick off time tomorrow night

 

[Manorlounger]

According to Mrs L, my home made root vegetable soup is the source of the worst kind of wind.

Wasn’t it around the time the Argentinians arrived? I seem to associate the two events.

It was March 2004, Atkins had been suspended before then being sacked in April. We went on to lose the game 3-1 once it was replayed.

 

[Eric Blair]

I think we're struggle on the pitch but our engagement activations before the match soften the blow

 

[Yellow River]

Am I right in thinking Adam Murray scored direct from a corner when we in the Conference, a booming in-swinger that flew into the net in gale force conditions, somewhere like Weymouth??

To answer my own question it was against Eastbourne Borough.
