Peter Winthorpe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 There are 65 mile gales forecast for Sunday. Will the match be postponed for public safety and perhaps rescheduled on a later Challenge cup weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Winthorpe Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Makes sense and would give us a rest weekend and a home game later which would be welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It would also give the pitch time to re-cover, there is a lot of wet weather forecast before a Sundays game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovenden Grunt Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That wouldn't be good for folk who've already booked digs for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's chance you take in winter, we were nearly there on Sunday morning and they announced a pitch inspection at 1030,luckily it was on but we were staying anyway.

Peter Winthorpe Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 To dangerous for people at 65 mile gusts. We live in Caithness where we are used to gales and when it's that bad we get power cuts and damage. OK up to 50,s but 60,s needs to be cancelled for safety. Disappointed for people travelling who have booked digs but that's the trouble when summer rugby is moved to the winter. No shelter in the popular side with gales from the west. The pitch looked spoiled after last week and will be all mud if it does go ahead and should be a safety decision for the police or Council.

They will probably make a decision BEFORE Sunday , they have enough notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've moved our home game with London to Saturday because Leeds are playing Man Utd at 2pm on the Sunday - APPARENTLY! There is millions of Leeds and Man U supporters in Fev though lol.

Peter Winthorpe Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 The popular side is covered the length of the pitch agreed Mr Chrome but open to the west which is where the gales and rain are to come from. At 65mph you can't stand up to get there. Fortunately the forecast shows the worst gales after the match but 50 plus is still dangerous for us old timers.

It sure sounds bad then....but I did think the similar conditions last Sunday helped Town somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tricky one do you want the game on to try and build on the momentum of last week but potentially have the gate impacted by the bad weather or do you want it called off and have a home fixture later on in the season to boost revenue?
