Weather vs Sunderland

[Gary Baldi]

The wind will cause more problems than the rain and of course, the safety of those travelling to games will be considered.

I'm sure KR is on the roof of the South Stand at the moment loosening bolts just enough so that the roof leaks badly and we can make them do the journey twice

Surely the most important thing from all points of view is, when will the decision be made? Whether it's on or off, the Club needs to say one way or the other and the sooner the better.

That's always difficult though.
Call it off now and Dennis misses Oxford and the club rightly gets criticised.
With the wind it will have to be awful for the game to be stopped? It might ruin the game of a spectacle though

 

[Oxymoron]

The worst of Dennis isn't due to reach South Oxford until Saturday afternoon and then overnight into Sunday, so I would have thought it was unlikely that a postponement decision could be made until a few hours before kick off and by then most people will have travelled, so it would have to be all about how severe the incoming storm will get before 5:00pm - an impossible prediction.

Of course, if Swindon were to be turned into an urban wasteland by the approaching storm at 10:00am, that would indicate what was to come, but then again, how could anyone tell.........

It`s a bit cloudy up here in the Midlands, I`m torn between nipping in the local for a pint on the way home or not.

The pending apocalypse isn`t concerning me yet.

Fool. It'll be the end of us all.

I think we need to man up , and get on with it. We have got to soft in this modern world which is the UK.

I can remember games at the Manor where a call out was made for fans to clear the pitch of snow, I can remember games at the manor played with snow on the pitch & pitch markings redone (on the snow) in blue, for example .... Yep I agree @UTM
football in general has got 'softer' in recent times


Meanwhile, if the U18s & U16s away games V N'hampton, set for tomorrow , now postponed, are any indicator, signs arent great for tomorrows game ...

U18s Fixture Postponed

Oxford United Under 18s Merit League game at Northampton Town on Saturday has been postponed.

It’s ALREADY an urban wasteland.

It isn't snow that is the problem.

I don't recall the club commenting in the past when bad weather was forecast? I expect they're just waiting to see what happens, as uncertain as that may be for any supporters attending the game people can, mostly, decide for themselves what to do.

It's not about that, I am looking at it as an excuse for the game not to be played tomorrow so our squad gets a rest!

 

[Marked Ox]

Games are being called off for player/spectator safety already in the Conference with 4 games off and it seems some of this is based on League advice. So whether that translates to the Football League is yet to seen.

 

[NottsYellow]

Storm Dennis! ….. I'm worried about Storm Karl that seems to gathering a little bit of momentum.

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Not a cloud in the sky here in Costa Rica ?? wall to wall sunshine ? slight easterly breeze zero chance of rain. What storm ️???? Lol ?

 

[tonto]

It would definitely be a bonus for us if it was called off

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Storm Dennis is not welcome here

 

[Northstandboy]

MET forecast showed rain from 1800-0000 this evening then pretty much rain from 0600-kick off. Bit nothing yet.
