Rogers took a penalty and scored for the U21's

Merseyside derby's been postponed already, surely more to follow you'd think.

Is there any way of finding out before traveling?

Probably depends how far you have to travel.

[Demitri_C]

Ive just been out round mine its horrendous.  If brums anything like my area the game should be called off. Its dangerous

[AlexAlexCropley]

The whole fixture list should be called off.
This is farcical planning

I am leaving mid day.

Whereabouts are you Demitri?

[Rigadon]

I'm in South Wales and the wind is pretty full on.  Didn't think it was expected to be bad in the midlands today?

The forecast is 60mph winds in Aston. If the game goes ahead, I don’t expect it to be much of a spectacle.

Maybe a game for keeping the ball in the ground.

[olaftab]

It’s bad around me. I cannot see how the match can go ahead if it stays like this.

Not sure what they could have done planning wise. They didn't have months notice of what is practically a hurricane!

[dorsetvillian]

I hardly slept because of the wind so as much out of tiredness haven't traveled.  We are in a very rural part of West Wales near the coast and I've never seen or heard wind like it in the UK. Lots of trees down and power cuts..
