NICK07 1 Posted February 11, 2020 Great, just as Storm Ciara has gone, we now have Storm Dennis coming this weekend. Current forecast is for 50 mph winds in Norwich on Saturday afternoon. Fingers crossed that those winds don’t get any worse and cause the Liverpool match to be postponed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted February 11, 2020 I think we need one of those "will Liverpool get a cricket score" threads... Have we lost any of the games after that sort of thread was posted ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted February 11, 2020 I would say that any adverse weather conditions would be more likely to act as a 'leveller' than to broaden the gap between the two sides... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,142 Posted February 11, 2020 I hope Dennis doesn't give their fans an excuse when we win. I can just imagine them saying the conditions were horrendous.... Blah blah (White noise) blah blah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lad with that much ability, how he’s not found the net yet god only knows! One things for sure, if he gets the first goal then we’ll go and win that game. Because the fans have been waiting for this moment all season, and the players will play out of their absolute skin in that incredible atmosphere 🏆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted February 11, 2020 Joking aside, and for those of us that face a considerable journey to home games, is there really any chance that the game might be called off if winds are 50 mph? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, there’s the possibility - Man City did it, although Sheff Utd rolled their sleeves up and showed that it could be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted February 11, 2020 OK, so when did Man C call off the game? Was it close to kick-off or several hours in advance? I'd be leaving just before midday for a 5.30pm kick off (earlier than absolutely necessary to guarantee parking at County Hall). Btw, when are Man C planning to play their postponed game?

Man City announced around Sunday lunchtime, so yes it was many hours in advance (5 or more), that the game would not be going ahead later that day. Problem is, you may not unfortunately get that benefit - the game can technically get called off at any point, including 1 min into the match. Man City play West Ham in the rescheduled fixture next Wednesday February 19th at 7:30pm if that helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted February 11, 2020 @wooster Just to add, I wouldn’t worry too much as it may well be fine, the wind would have to be really significant to stop the game, Sheff Utd played on in 50mph gusts and to be honest had I not have known there was at storm at the time, I would never have been none the wiser, it did not affect the match from what I could see. My latest weather app is saying that the winds won’t hit Norwich until Monday although it’s looking like Saturday will be wet. However, it’s Tuesday evening and a lot can change by then, though don’t panic just yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have travelled over to Norfolk for several home games only to be waylaid for family reasons so I'm just looking forward to a clear run without mishap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck!, I’m sure it’ll all work out just fine, and with any luck come 7:15pm Jurgen will be complaining in the aftermath interviews that the game should never have gone ahead and that is the only reason why Liverpool lost their first league match since 2018 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The strongest winds are likely to be on Saturday afternoon and evening, with a lull overnight, before increasing again during Sunday. Gusts of 50 mph are expected widely inland. Around the coasts, especially in the west and south, gusts of 60-70 mph are likely. The strong winds will be accompanied by heavy rain at times, leading to particularly poor driving conditions."

......and Smith must score. 1,600 Posted February 12, 2020 I think they would be more likely to call it off at short notice. With snow and ice it's going to be on the ground for some time but the wind could easily die down before KO. Would be fun and games if it only got up after KO though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
