Storm Eunice re Brighton match

[fidelcastro]

The day Burnley had a match postponed for wind (a steward was almost blown off the Longside Upper onto the Longside lower) was the day Colne played Sudbury in the FA Vase semi final. The game at Holt House was interesting, to say the least, especially with the wind blowing down the hill. One keeper caught his own goal kick (he was allowed to take it again).

Back pass!

Bournemouth v Florist OFF.

[Vintage Claret]

If anyone is interested I'm selling a load of stuff off cheap tomorrow.

I've got 6 plastic buckets, 2 trampolines, 4 wheely bins, a bird feeder and 5 fence panels.

More stuff arriving all the time...

For those who think too much has been made of the weather check out the pics of the O2 arena in London.

Bournemouth Vs Forrest Off
Exeter vs Barrow Off

Don't think anybody thinks there has been too much made of the weather,these winds are horrendous and just hope there are no fatalities due to them.

Someone on the Weghorst thread said it wasn't too windy in Bournemouth.

I don't think it's Storm Eunice we should be concerned about as when that departs Storm Franklin will arrive soon after.

The Official Website are predicting the wind to be that strong, away fans might get blown all the way to Elland Rd!!

They’ve now spotted their mistake, removed the article and made my little joke redundant!

[Vegas Claret]

Forest furious there game is off, even asked Bournemouth to play the game on Saturday and they said no..........must have injuries

[Colburn_Claret]

I think the game should be called off, now.
Why wait until fans have struggled to get to the game, when in all likelihood it won't take place anyway.

We can't afford another postponement, and playing them without Dunk would be an advantage, but if the players have to tip toe down there on a coach, after the plane was kiboshed, they aren't going to be in the best of minds mentally.

I doubt it’s like a vehicle the The Flintstones used to use in the cartoons.
Sure they’ll be ok.

[Devils_Advocate]

Never heard a story of a steward on the Longside Upper but I had to walk down the touchline at around 2 pm that afternoon and you could hardly stand up.

Thats what happens if you go drinking with Leisure in the Spoons before the game

I'm about 20 miles from the Amex and it has been very windy today. Damage in our garden, and a LOT of big trees down in the area. I hope for those that have travelled the weather improves and the game is on. Last thing we need is another game in hand.

[Burnley Ace]

Just seen the pictures from Blackpool Prom!!!

The Met Office are predicting 60mph winds for south-east coastal areas tomorrow from the unnamed storm which is running up the English Channel tomorrow.

[dermotdermot]

Someone on the Weghorst thread said it wasn't too windy in Bournemouth.

I think that was me. I think that I must have slept through the worst of it as, on venturing out a little later, I found many roads closed on account of fallen trees.

[cockneyclaret]

Rail travel won't be disrupted by Eunice. Rail from London to Brighton is being shut down, starting Saturday for a week of engineering works. Rail replacement buses to operate from Three Bridges all the way to Brighton, similarly, Lewes.

I'm driving. Looking forward to a windy game.

Paul, allow extra time when using the a27 towards Falmer.
There doing crash barrier works at Falmer (down to one lane) both sides.. my god the queues are horrendous and that's without the extra football traffic.

[dougcollins]

Police in Oxford apparently not happy as it is full of Forest fans caught out en route to Bournemouth.

[ElectroClaret]

Bit o snow in Accrington now. Or is it hail, can't tell through this haze of alcohol....

[Bin Ont Turf]

I don't care if it makes me a bad person, there is something very funny about a bloke in a suit being blown across the floor in central London.

Thanks and noted.

Despite my 11-year old son pleading with me to take him, his Mum actually torpedoed any chance he had with her plans

That said, we were both at Southampton and Newcastle (pre-Covid fixtures) and the weather for both fixtures, during the Southampton game and travelling after the Newcastle game, was horrendous and there was never any hint of either game being off.

[Damo]

I'm at Preston Station and it's currently closed due to damage to the roof. Anyone planning a trip from here should check which services are affected

[timshorts]

Morning. Within 10 miles of the Amex and nothing happening.
Yesterday in battle the whole town lost electricity for the afternoon and we got sent home early.
Today nothing so far. I expect the wind off the sea is blowing old people down the road outside morrisons but that is fairly normal.

[mkmel]

Am I right that the town of Battle that you mentioned is where the actual battle of Hastings was fought?

Not many people know that.

We areat Lewes. No trains going to the ground. Have booked the last taxi in town!

[JohnC]

Looks like the winds are strengthening again.

I’ve walked it before from ground to station. Not too far!

[Devils_Advocate]

Looking at the BBC weather for Brighton it looks like a tail wind towards the ground so walking there should a breeze. Even better if you can take a skateboard then just use your coat as a sail and you'll be there in no time at all

[NewClaret]

Looks like the winds are strengthening again.

It’s grim down south!

[Beagleheart]

Plenty of Clarets using the bus replacement scheme from Lewes. Seems pretty well organised.
