Game time windy weather today

[Albert Kidd 86’]

As many have pointed out winds will be gusting to around 40->50mph at 3-5 pm today. Direction will be towards famous 5 end.

ball is going to hang up or get blown away alot possibly, would like to go with usual 2nd half towards ff ?

a game that needs to be played on the ground, i reckon, which to be fair are good at.

anyone have any experience of playing in that kind of wind? How does it affect things on the pitch player wise?

It's generally not too bad in the stadium because the high stands provide a fair bit of a shelter from the wind. It'll cause some issues but I don't think it'll dictate the game.

Strong winds probably the worst conditions to play in. The high stands should help. Hopefully not as strong as predicted. Always found it easier to play against the wind as forced you to keep the ball on the ground.
