Title: The SHA v Villa Snow Panic Thread
Post by: Dave P on November 30, 2010, 09:07:43 AM
A bit of snow in the West Midlands with more forecast.  Will the game go ahead ?

Reasons For

High Profile fixture on TV
Fans haven't got to travel very far
Police o/t and cancellation of rest days already pre-agreed.
To be honest, it's hardly siberia !
Blues will do everthing to get this game on with our injury crisis.

Reasons Against

Played at a ground with medievil amenities and sprinklers that come on willy nilly.
A Groundman that may decide to water the pitch tonight (Remember that from about 10-15 years ago ?)

Ahem...cough....splutter....some of us will have to brave the M6. 

However don't tell sheldon nose as I unfortunately fall into his bracket of being a middle class snob from Lichfield and am not a Proper Brummie.

Nah I'm quite looking forward to slogging it down the M6 in a blizzard. 

Jesus, this country built an empire and we're a bit concerned about an inch or so of snow.....

It is a bit parky though isn't it? Still, few beers before the game and we'll be OK.

I hope it is postponed, so we can get some of our injured players back for the re-organised match.

He would litterally destroy Agent Ridgewell just like he did against Evra. Unfortunately even if the game is called off I dunno if he'd recovered in time from his op.

As for the snow, I always lol @ this country shitting themselves over a few inches of snow, but come tommorow I hope the Health and Safety Brigade and WMP will be making a big deal out of nothing and the game will be called off. It would be hilarious if that happens, we get a few players back and then beat them a week later. small heath will do everything they can for the game to be played tommorow... I smell desperation.

From a personal point of view i'd like the game to be played tomorrow. Win or lose, id rather it happened with a weakened side.

I agree. Be nice to see Albrighton tear them to shreds and Gabby to be a week or so fitter and NRC being available to shore up the midfield.

The only sad thing is that I'm prepared and pumped up for it being tomorrow.

The only thing is if it's put back a week it'll take place only 48 hours after our game away to Liverpool. Plus I'll be travelling down to London tomorrow week and wouldn't be able to watch it in the pub :-(

Maybe he read that thing yesterday about the amounts clubs paid to agents last year, saw Spurs near the top, identified that as a potential "back door" to paying players higher salaries and exploded in excitement.

The beatings administered on Villadawg by his wife are 34.44% up on 2009 beatings, the average kicking he receives is normally 12.32% more violent than the average battered husband would receive if he lived in Tottenham.

My missus said I have to apologise for any concern raised by my spurious definite article.

Spurs have spent £176.7M on new players since 1st July 2008 (£335.7m since July 2006). Level playing field my arse.

There is some light stuff blowing around in town but it would take a serious effort this afternoon to get the game postponed.

SSN reporting the game is definitely on. Live pictures from the Blues's stadium showed the conditions as looking ok which is more than can be said for the shots of the stands and surrounding area...

It's been snowing in Small Heath for a good few hours now but it's all fairly light stuff & nothing to be concerned about.  The school I work at is only a few streets away from Mordor and if we are open I can assure you that the game will go ahead!
