Personally, I could do with the Baggies game being cancelled.

I've just a tooth extracted and don't fancy driving to Smethwick tomorrow

A lot depends on what the public transport situation is like. If it snows on the day - and the forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday says it will - then do you really want 26,000/40,000+ making an unnecessary journey?

I live in Stripeyfilth land and it's been snowing non stop since early this morning. It's not looking good for tomorrow so i'll go for the Bradford game.

This is a good point. The Metro can't run to a proper timetable as it is never mind having to cope with snow as well.

It will be below freezing tonight with more snow forecast for tomorrow.  I think we might be getting an enforced winter break.

It'd make life easier but with it being a derby they'll probably wait until last minute.

I need at least three hours notice Dave. Please have a word with the Baggies for me.  ;)

I would say that there may be pressure from WMP to call it off, but then its a toss up between whether they think policing a derby at night is any easier, especially considering how we behaved at the last night derby.

That said, there isn't the same level of animosity and for me, I would hazard that allowing people an extra two hours in the pub on a Saturday is worse than an evening kick off.

I hope it's off tomorrow as I don't have a ticket and there's bound to be some spares if it's moved to a Wednesday night.  Self, self, self...
