Chelsea vs Manchester United
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
According to Met Office, the snow will get heavier all night . Then tomorrow morning there will be fog. There again when are the Met Office right.
It's not like you lot need snowmobiles. It's just salt that's needed. That's all. Or knock off taxes on winter tires. Let them be tax free. Just take the initiative. It was well known that this winter wouldn't be snow less.
It just had to come snow tonight with Terry and Cole both out for the game tomorrow.
I know but it gives our players an extra week to get fit for Liverpool. Wouldn't want more injuries in dicey conditions.
Snow is falling in and around Central London.
Considering the way they are playing it would probably be a good thing if it were to go on...
I'm in SW London right now, and no sign of snow still!
True, and hopefully for us Chelsea will still be in the CL and FA Cup when we play them.
If it is postponed then it could work in our favour with Rooney, Cleverley, Young & Nani given more time to recover but it also creates the problem of fixture congestion and City having a 3pt gap again for a period of time.
Is there a cut-off time for when they could cancel it without playing considering that fans will be travelling on the basis the game is still on?

No snow around me, and I'm quite close to SB. (Sw3)
There's been snow in other parts of the UK too and no cancellation. Stoke - Wigan looked really snowy. Surely London has better transport and infrastructure to deal with snow compared to places like Stoke?
I'm in W.London (Heathrow) Theres been a little snow nothing off great caution. It's currently flaking. Nothing major at the moment that should threaten tomorrow's game.
Yes but it was snowing while they were playing. Chelsea the snow will have fallen in quantity overnight, so it might be more of a problem. The games usually get called off for health and safety reasons, don't want fans falling on the arses. lol. However I wonder why I ever believe what our Met Office says.
Having a quick look at the BBCs traffic cams it is snowing in pockets here and there across Greater London, mostly in the north out toward the M25.
Hope it stays that way then. Are you in SW as well, Brian?
If by SW you mean the South West (which of course you don't) then yes.
Lol
I live 1.84 miles from Stamford Bridge apparently. Ground not really whitening yet, but there is a dusting on the table and the BBQ in my back garden.
Is snowing softly still.

Ah I thought you were living in London.
Update from Wandsworth, light dusting on the roof tops, but not much more than that yet.
I am in and out of London, I have family in Wandsworth.
This is all your fault.
Its not just about snow near the ground. Its about making sure the people can travel safely to the ground.
Yeah...it's heavier now. Annoying.
At the rate it's at currently though, I wouldn't say it's enough to cancel. Depends what happens overnight really...

If these feckers do it again I'll be fuming. That first league win since 2002 can't be far away now.
I'm about 10 miles from Stamford Bridge and we have a light dusting, it's more rainy snow than massive flakes at the moment.
I'm nearer (2/3 miles) and it's probably a little more than light dusting now. I remain hopeful though!
Really pathetic our inability to deal with it, given that it's pretty much an annual occurrence now.
the snow is beautiful! still hope it's not called off though
Couple cm of snow down heathrow. Not looking good.
Still snowing quite a bit in Hammersmith and a couple of cm has settled here too.
Chelsea playing poorly United visiting game called off....that would sound awfully familiar.
Odds of them calling a snow day. 1/100000
The problem is not going to be the snow , it is going to be the hard frost that the met office if forecasting.
If the snow freezes before the gritters get to it or the salt melts it then there will be problems with frozen snow and ice on roads and pavements.
If the roads and pavements are solid with Ice and frozen snow and the underground is running a reduced service and the bus are not running , sadly I fear it being called off

well, no actually !
Chelsea called it off last year and on the actually day everything was running fine. If it was a work day, millions of Londoners would still be expected to get to work and risk falling ass over tit for a days pay. Just play the F'in game.
It was a weekend and no everything was not running fine , London Transport ground to a half both London airports shut in Heathrow s case for 2 and half days and that was because the snow froze solid.
