Winds to ease off tonight

I don't think the winds are forecast to ease off until late tonight, after the game has finished.

The rain's supposed to stop by the time kick off comes though.

It's going to be pretty wild tonight.

My girlfriend's train from Dunfermline just got held back at the Rail Bridge before being allowed to cross. It's gusting like a mo'fo out there, so I'd be checking for updates on the Forth Road Bridges if I was planning on crossing the water this evening

**heretoday** · 28-12-2011 03:54 PM

I've been through thick and thin for Hibs in the past. Nowadays it's just thin. And I'm not going out in that!

***greenlex*** · 28-12-2011 03:59 PM

Narnia is smack bang in the middle of three wind farms so you can imagine what the wind is like at the best of times never mind today. I will still be going tonight. Come on ma bonnie laddies.

***Kaiser1962*** · 28-12-2011 03:59 PM

They used to say that the weather is a great leveler so it should benefit us

**Steve-O** · 28-12-2011 04:07 PM

You lot not going due to wind ought to take some concrete pills.

**frazeHFC** · 28-12-2011 04:11 PM

I am in Queensferry and it is howling wind and rain, horrific weather. If it's like this in Leith then no way it will be on.

I'm only quoting Radio Forth. Get along and follow the team, we need every supporter we can tonight

Still raging after Saturday's collapse, I'm sitting in warmth with a can of bud in my hand looking out the window and thinking, sod that for a game of sudgers. Two tickets not getting used from my house I think.

**hibbymark** · 28-12-2011 04:24 PM

Scotland in wind and rain shocker during december!! Pull your tights up and get yourself to the game

Same in Leith but game still on, against my better judgment I have decided to go, I must be mad, time to get the thermals out.

**TheEastTerrace** · 28-12-2011 04:28 PM

Not for me tonight. Not risking the chance of either forth bridge being closed.

I'll iron my skirt and tights instead.

I'm hoping its called off as I can't make the game due to my sore back :( but I'm glad the game is on bbc alba later

you've just deleted another thousand from tonight's attendance

***matty_f*** · 28-12-2011 04:30 PM

Just about to head off from Dunfermline. Good luck everyone!

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 28-12-2011 04:32 PM

At this moment in time (5.30) if the game goes ahead then it's nothing short of madness to try and play football in this weather, plus the fact you really have to be a brave soul to sit at ER to watch it, for those who are going remember any jumping up and down to keep warm and you'll be tossed out

It's more the bunch of gutless bassas that wear the green that's putting me off, the weather is just making the decision that bit easier. I've already paid my money which in turn helps pay the afore mentioned gutless bassas, so what's the problem?

As long as you watch Top Gear or Countyfile instead of the Biggit Fest then the jobs a good un.

***Golden Bear*** · 28-12-2011 04:38 PM

The ugly sisters game could now be in doubt due to structural damage to the stadium. Further news expected shortly - according to Chic on the Beeb radio news.

**down-the-slope** · 28-12-2011 04:38 PM

just back from the borders to EL...we were sheltered at my sisters by hills / wind direction. Here it is just now only slighly less than the recent 'once in 10 year' storm.....

Would not be going out were it not for kids having party in Tranent....as thats half way and they need collecting later...so i will be one of those stupid enough not to be in front of a roaring log stove

Can you think of the possibilities for comical errors...no doubt our forgiving support will see it as crap players rather than cut any slack

***greenlex*** · 28-12-2011 04:39 PM

Right that's me off.

**ancienthibby** · 28-12-2011 04:41 PM

The weather forecast seem to be a fair bit off!

Just heard el Chico on Beeb Radio saying that there are problems at Parkhead which he will update on later.

Here in the Central Belt where winds were supposed to fall away around 3 p.m., it's still a hurricane at quarter to six!

***Leithenhibby*** · 28-12-2011 04:41 PM

In times when the game is in free-fall from the core out, we are expected to travel to a game that sounds as if it will be no more than a "Lottery"

Will the SPL ever get it right before it's too late, hope so, I really do .......

As it stands, I wouldn't pay to watch a game in this weather.
(for the record, it's blowing a gale in the borders)

**Prawn Sandwich** · 28-12-2011 04:42 PM

BBC Radio Scotland Chick Young is about announce structural damage Due to the wind at Darkheid. This game could be off?

***Alfred E Newman*** · 28-12-2011 04:42 PM

Is it not the case that people are just looking for excuses not to go? Its either too cauld, too wet, too frosty, too dark, too hot , too late, too early and now its too windy. It is desperate times for the club yet we have posters on here more or less boasting about not going at a time when the club desperately needs their support
Why don`t they just admit that they have given up on Hibs.

**Thecat23** · 28-12-2011 04:44 PM

Just stepped out and that is unreal to play football in. Call the game off for the safety of all supporters. There are roof tiles flying off roofs and trees coming down. It's alright saying back the team but you're mad if you think football can be played in this.

Not a problem mate. I have paid my money in advance as well and because of that im going to go along and cheer the gutless bassas on.

Not just your post but the thread seemed to be turning into a severe weather warning not to attend the game.

We're capable of playing ***** in any conditions. No excuses.

**Black Kyle** · 28-12-2011 04:50 PM

Picking up son then off to match soon.........conditions the same for both sides but must be a bit of a lottery - gale force winds in Granton right now.

Win the toss and take the wind at your back in the first half would be my call.

Could be a farce or an epic!
