Is today's game in doubt? Burnley vs Chelsea 31st Oct

Post by icu81b4 » Sat Oct 31, 2020 11:21 am

What's the weather like in Burnley? I'm just wondering if the ground might be flooded, if it's raining as hard at the Turf as it is here on the Coconut Coast.

It can rain as much as it likes and our pitch won't waterlog - have to say it is windy but nothing compared to some days when we've been on the Turf.

At least the club should save a few Bob with not having to turn the sprinklers on

and they don't need to call it off because it won't be safe for spectators - or is that just snow and ice?

We need Erik Pieters to drift a few in on the wind like he did against Saints last year.
Forget picking someone out in the box, put a few miskicks in there and let the wind play its tricks.

Unfortunately it usually does exactly the opposite.

Our balls into the front two are more wayward and we tend to struggle more in windy conditions. Hopefully that isn't the case today.

Perfect conditions for us. We don't want it turning into a football match!

I went to watch my lad play in an under 10s game this morning so if that can be played then surely this can.

One thing we can say is we have one of the best pitches in the country. A far cry from the mudbath of Division 4 days.

By kick off the wind will have dropped quite a lot and the rain will have stopped..

What's the odds for Ash Westwood to score direct off a corner?

Probably better than any of the others scoring in free play ;)
