Our next match

[Dave Cooper please]

So we have had more snow that is now lying on top of frozen snow. Knowing the area around the Apollo warehouse in Handsworth there's no chance of the match being payed today.

It's absolutely fine around there and pretty much the whole area. Drove past it on my way to work and detoured down Halfords Lane and back up Middlemore Road (which comes out by Apollo 2000) and it's all clear. Metro,trains and buses all running okay as well.

Not sure how they can be sure this far ahead, as an alternative from the BBC:

WEATHER UPDATE

West Brom against Aston Villa is today's 1730 GMT kick-off and that game is under threat. Albion are saying they are making 'concerted efforts' to get The Hawthorns ready.

@WMPFootballUnit: #wba have confirmed that unless there is a severe deterioration in the weather later the game will go ahead #villa

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah and a severe deterioration is very unlikely today, so looks like it'll go ahead.

[ozzjim]

Bugger.

Lets hope we can pull out a miraculous win and salvage a little hope from this sorry, sorry season so far.

[olaftab]

I am going to leave at 1 o'clock  in order to not miss kick off today. Park at Villa and walk!

Good to read that Middlemore Road is clear because that's where I usually park for Baggies games.

I think I'll head off now. Getting out of Gloucestershire looks like it'll be the worst bit.

[cheltenhamlion]

Worse than going to Smethwick? I doubt that very much.

The Albion had got their ground and the areas they were responsible sorted but the pavement from the station to the ground were treacherous.  We walked in the road where we could.  Glad the game went ahead but there could have been injuries.
