West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Looking at the latest weather forecast the big snow that was coming for Birmingham on Accuweather is not going to hit us anymore, so the game will likely be on.

Good.

[Lambert and Payne]

Blues home Saturday as well. Busy day ahead for WMP

[Villafirst]

The health and safety of some supporters will be in question whether there is ice or not, given its kick off time.

ESPN will decide if it goes ahead or not, they and SKY dictate everything!

Not that I want the game called off because I think its a good time to play them but it looks like it will be snowing like a boss from the early hours of tonight through to Sunday.

Yep just seen that , if so then it will be off although it looks as if most games in england could be off if the forecast is correct.
Also interesting is that extremely heavy snow is bing forecast again to hit the west mids on monday too which would probably put the bradford game in doubt.

It won't snow that bad, It'll be Ok on Sat. Friday will eb the crap day. Let's play. Let's win.

Talk on the local radio of the heaviest snow in 22 years - thats bad enough.

[Mazrim]

Snow will build up from tonight through to Sunday and some if it will be very heavy. 50+ hours of snow is a shitload.
The problem is that it wont get above freezing at any point so the snow wont go anywhere.
The pitch probably isn't the main problem, the transport situation and conditions for supporters is.

It's all bad. But, we just got to get on with it and beat the Baggies.

I'm in two minds about the Albion game. It might be a good time to play them i suppose but then again form goes out the window in derbies to an extent. If it is postponed, we may have new players in by the time we do end up playing them.

[Greg N'Ash]

Yep would help us if it was postponed to get players in for the re-arranged game. On the other hand Lambert could possibly get away with playing a couple of snowmen in defence instead of the usual suspects.

the snowman was better in the air.

Looking at the weather I don't think there's a chance this will go ahead.
