Weather Forecast

Dennis is going to hit hardest around kick off time. Surely this can't go ahead. I would rather we had a chance to play football in decent conditions.

Your needing to change your name, mate

Not ideal, as last weekend proves your concern.

We played in worse last Saturday.

Met Office has heavy rain with breaks of sun and 40mph gusts. 
 

Won’t be a problem, though I fear for Bobby’s kicks...

Just looked at met office Gogarbank

 

90% chance of rain from 1pm  going down to 60% around 5pm

 

40mph wind speed (gusts) throughout the match with wind speed of 20 SSE

 

The stadium should be reasonably shielded from that direction

Swirling winds might see one of Uche’s leg swingers go in the top corner instead of knocking out a bulb on the floodlights. 

[RudiHMFC]

The wind will be a menace that's for sure.

To be honest im sat in the sun in Spain 🇪🇸 and just watching BBC weather but i was home last weekend and that was bad enough. 

Maybe weebittywetfart Jamno, could be a better name i suppose. Fingers crossed and if it does go ahead. Let's get right behind them 

[Eddie]

it does look grim for the front rowers

 

 

[SectionN]

Weather isn’t going to be the best and I’ve heard a lot of temporary traffic lights in and around Gorgie/Saughton which has been causing havoc all week.

Yeah there's temporary lights up now on the Calder Road, down to one lane just outside the prison. Heard there's more further along towards Gorgie but not sure, anyone driving in should give themselves an extra half hour I'd say.

Totally agree, wumin love a strong, decisive kind of guy. Tell her to can it, get her nails done (nothing too fancy mind, doing the washing will wreck them anyway) and get yourself to the game. 

This approach worked fine with my 3 ex wifes. 

[Mdoug79]

Bloody hope it’s not in doubt!! Will be leaving in around an hour for the drive down from Aberdeenshire with the family. The wee man will be devastated!

Have never understood why we don't just follow the Sweden and Norway models and play through the summer and break from Dec to Feb.

Relax Douglas the game will be on. Shite weather but if that game is played at Falkirk with one open side to the ground then the game goes ahead today at Tynecastle.

You could always come to my house.   I have a spare room.   When I say room,  it's actually a shed.    Should do you though.

[Mollo]

Bloody hope it’s on, caught the train from Peterborough at 7am and been looking forward to this for ages. 
 

Sounds like awful weather but hoping the weather-in-the-knowers are right 😄

I think people are missing the real point here... it is not about 22 people playing a game of football... it is about 15K plus people travelling to and from this game in safety! If safety is an issue, an it definitely is, the game should be postponed end of. Of course we know that won't happen but god forbid someone driving along the road and being hit by a falling tree or someone being hit by debris falling from a roof due to the high winds or maybe a train hitting a fallen tree in a rail track.  These are reason to postpone a football match not whether the over paid twats on the field can play in the conditions .

By that reckoning if the forecast is this during the week then businesses should close their doors and keep staff at home.  There is always a risk on a daily basis.

Weather is going to be better than last weekend and we are playing in a much more enclosed stadium. Why would it be off?

[Baxfee]

A big bit blowy and a bit rainy. Welcome to Scotland after the winter break has ended!

As was discussed by some of the managers this week, wind doesn't seem to be a factor in deciding whether games should go ahead. 

 

It won't be enough to postpone game but could spoil it.

That is true but anybody should recognise that it is foolish to deliberately put yourself in harms way for no good reason. For example, different situation but, if the ground was covered but the weather forecast was for high winds and snow making travelling conditions dangerous it would be foolish not to postpone the game... even though the conditions at the ground would be perfectly playable. The point is was making, trying to, was that the safety of the public traveling to and from the game is what should be the arbiter of whether the game goes ahead or not... not whether the players could cope with the weather conditions.

Come on man it's a bit of wind and rain there's no need to be so dramatic. We've always had weather like this it's only recently we've gone all American and started naming the systems as if its proper hurricanes coming in. If it was heavy ice and snow I'd agree but this? Nah.

You could make a case for it sure but it would have to be followed in all aspects of life including work and it wont happen.  Individuals should make their own decisions on travel.  I just think the modern phenomenon of naming "storms" , when in reality its a bit of wind and rain, leads to an overreaction in many quarters.  There is a daily risk for everybody and we should make our own decisions.  My decision is to go to the game and take a very small risk because I love watching my team.  If I'm dealt a bad hand then that's life.
