Chances of the match being called off? (Update: Match ON)

[.Sean.]

Here in Haddington, it's not stopped raining all day, extremely windy aswell. The forecast for tomorrow isn't great either. If Edinburgh is anything like Haddy i'll be surprised if the match goes ahead.

[HibeeDaz6270]

Game will be on. How often do you see our games being cancelled due to weather?

Raining here all day as well. Like you forecast for tomorrow not good either.

Hope not, just drove past ER and they've got the floodlights up already. :thumbsup:

Were you in the country at Christmas/New Year time? That'll be why recently there's been a huge backlog of fixtures to be played.

[PaulSmith]

Covers will be on the pitch and it will go ahead IMO.

The game itself could be a nightmare to watch and play in with the wind and rain, especially with no cover from the East.

the last two games i was at against st johnstone. the first one was late 90s, and you know what happened with the last one.

[HibbyAndy]

Might be a nice cosy night in watching Arsenal v Barca :devil:

[noseyhibby]

I predict the game will be on and the conditions will be attrocious. Hats, gloves, scarves, jumpers and waterproofs are the order of the day.

With this wind they are probably doon again..................:grr::grr:

[Westie1875]

They don't look very high, about level with where the roof of the East stand was.

[down-the-slope]

Its now snowing here on top of the rivers of water flooding off the fields

PS ESK has burst its banks in musselburgh pretty badly and tyne is not far behind

[HibeeDaz6270]

Were you in the country at Christmas/New Year time? That'll be why recently there's been a huge backlog of fixtures to be played.

Slight difference from rain and wind, to the weather then though. We had a terrible amount of snow, and the conditions today are nothing like conditions then. It will be a misuerable night, but there is no way this game will be off.

[down-the-slope]

SW Scotland, Lothian & Borders:

Rain and sleet will quickly turn to snow this evening and become prolonged and very heavy at times and persist tonight. The snow will quickly drift in the strong to gale force North wind with blizzard conditions developing in many areas. Over upland areas severe blizzards will develop with severely reduced visibility at times. Snow accumulations will vary largely across the region, with typically 15cm, but upland inland areas outwith Edinburgh City, especially towards the Pentland and Lammermuir hills could catch 30 to 50cm with deep drifts. However coastal parts of East Lothian and especially around the coast to Berwick will catch notably less snow. Many roads are liable to become impassable and some interruptions to power supplies are possible.
The public are advised to take extra care and refer to Traffic Scotland for further advice on road conditions.

:worried:

Looks like I'm in for another hairy journey from Aberdeen! :grr:

TBH lads, I wouldn't chance it going by the forecast. Apart from your own safety, it's a long trek to find out it's off. I doff my hat to your dedication though. :thumbsup:

[Billy Whizz]

If it was cancelled, I wonder when it would be replayed? Dundee Utd are playing next Monday against St Johnstone and the following midweek against Rangers. Throw in a potential Cup Replay against Raith and it could be another month or so!

[cwilliamson85]

Heard on the radio that leith was flooding.

There are no covers on the pitch, haven't been all day.

[Gatecrasher]

It's like out of the film day after tomorrow lol

[col02]

Only way the game will be called off is if there is any potential problem for United travelling down assuming they are coming down tomorrow. That apart game will be on I reckon.

[Diclonius]

Don't respond to the Yam any more, or he wins.

Moving on.. Been sleet pretty much all evening in Riccarton. Either it's dying down or getting too dark to be seen.

[Sweep]

Met office have issued an emergency severe weather warning for east of Scotland with up to 40cm of snow on higher ground and gale force winds causing drifting.

[PatHead]

Over an inch of snow here now. A68 got a good covering...........

We very rarely get a result when its " farcical conditions". I would imagine it will be too cauld for some of our players.

Better watch yourself, that's bordering on a racist comment for some on here. :wink:

Just have to hope that the temporary floodlights are built to be structurally safe in gale force winds :confused:

[Bayern Bru]

Jesus wept.
Just looked out of the window, and the road is white with snow.

The esk down my way is totally flooded and my folks in Penicuik say it's a nightmare up there with the snow. Cars abandoned all over the main street

[PaulSmith]

Or provide enough light, two fair comments which might well force the hand of the ref or police

It's nae really that bad up here though it is trying to snow just now - far too wet for it to lie though!

[Gus]

they will take into consideration the united fans travelling some distance to get to ER in the bad weather

I cannae see this happening at all

[matty_f]

It's nae really that bad up here though it is trying to snow just now - far too wet for it to lie though!

That's what it's like in the Dunf as well. Pishing wi' rain, a bit of snaw and a fair bit of wind.

Good Scottish weather, basically.

Snowing quite heavily in my area of Falkirk and it's lying here too.

It's not too bad in the town centre though.

If this keeps up over the course of the night and into tomorrow then I doubt if I'll be at the game if it's on. :boo hoo:

Surely one of the kind folks who'll be watching the Arsenal vs Barca game and posting updates on here would be kind enough to oblige :wink:

:agree:

There's only a dusting of snow on the cars in Meadowbank.

The only conceivable danger to the game is the safety of the temporary floodlights if the high winds persist. The forecast I've seen says that the weather should settle down tomorrow afternoon.

[speedy_gonzales]

I`ve got water running down my walls - inside walls that is!

eff-in SNAP!
came home from work today to find drips coming down between my conservatory and dining room. Apparently the conservatory wall covers 'weep' holes in the original external wall to my house but I've never had this before. maybe it's the unseasonal easterly driven rain that's been lashing against my house for the last 24 hours!
Anyway, it seemed like I was on holiday, watching champions league footy with a cold beer in my hand and the waves lapping at my feet:thumbsup:

My back garden was completely flooded this afternoon, the patio was ankle deep in water. When the snow started I thought it would never lie on that - it did!

What travel situation? There aren't any major roads or rail lines between Edinburgh and Dundee closed.

[GlesgaeHibby]

I was up in Pencaitland last night and struggled to get back down to Port Seton. Localised flooding has closed the Pencaitland and Ormiston Roads- I don't know how the players will get in to the training centre this morning if those roads are still shut.

I've heard that Haddington is impossible to get into from the bypass, people are being diverted to Dunbar.

[bighairyfaeleith]

no lying snow in leith when I left this morning, game should be on.

Going to be bloody cold though, better get the thermals on:wink:

[Danderhall Hibs]

What travel situation? There aren't any major roads or rail lines between Edinburgh and Dundee closed.

I didn't mean that there was. I was meaning that in this namby-pamby world the police might say it's too dangerous to travel - like they did a few times over Christmas.

And if any roads or train lines are closed later it might affect their decision?

[weonlywon6-2]

Will they not take into account the travel situation from Dundee to Edinburgh?

yeah they will, and a sodden pitch wont help.

to be fair to everyone,watching a game in these conditions is rubbish.

How are the roads in Edinbra this morning?..

It's very wet and windy but I've sat and watched footie at ER in similar or worse. HG said the pitch isn't covered so that would be my main concern - it'll be a mud bath

Judging on messages from friends in the north of fife they're snowed in so it may be a judgement call from United whether or not they travel. I agreed to our son going to the game tonight and now I need to hunt out all his wet weather gear and warm clothing to ensure he's not too wet tonight.

Calm down I was just trying to be helpful. It's nowhere near as bad in town as it appears out your way.

Fingers crossed you can make it as every supporter is needed tonight :agree:

[shadeparkhibby]

[dangermouse]

Thank's to the tache being too slow off the mark we could have had a new East Stand in place by now with a retractable roof to keep us all warm and dry. PETRIE!!!:grr:

[bighairyfaeleith]

weather is no bad in leith, as long as you stay away from the docks. If you must go down remember your long raincoat :devil:

[Sylar]

Incessant snow in the west of Edinburgh.

Depending on road conditions, I'd be surprised if this goes ahead.

How is it up in Tayside? I wouldn't imagine the 50 or so Dundee United Fans will be looking forward to their journey!!! :greengrin

Am' no postin' it again! :grr:

We have to come through biggar. We are not leaving until 2ish, if there's any doubt i hope we know by then.

If it was me (after I’d read all the Borders stuff) I think I might just stick to the motorways rather than that scruffy wee road.

Just heard on Five Live, that a teenage girl died in the Biggar school bus crash, and 12 seriously injured.

[JennaFletcher]

I was in the ticket office this morning and everyone kept calling in asking about whether it would be on/would there be a pitch inspection.

Answer every time: The match is still on unless the weather deteriorates drastically and there are no plans for a pitch inspection yet.

This means that the match will be on unless there is a full blown blizzard basically and inches of snow... so everyone should just chill, have a bud... que sera sera! :wink:

[jgl07]

Why do we have to have this rubbish every time a couple of snowflakes fall?

There isn't a chance that the match will not go ahead. The conditions are nothing like bad enough.

I doubt if the snow is even standing on the ground at Easter Road. All the transportation routes are operating normally.

All this does is to psych up wavers into not travelling.

I was fine until I watched that!! Now having second thoughts about making the perilous journey from Mountcastle. :worried: :thumbsup:

[CropleyWasGod]

.

Quite simply because the majority of Hibbies don't live in Leith. People go by what they see outside their own house. When we have so many fans from outside the town, where it is clearly a nightmare, it's understandable that a LOT of people will be anxious.

[Gala Foxes]

All transportation routes are operating normally ?

A7 - Gala to Edinburgh - SHUT

A68 - Jedburgh to Edinburgh - SHUT

Peebles - Edinburgh - exercise caution

Yep:agree: Basically if you're coming from the Borders on any road except the A1 or A74 its going to be either shut or very dangerous.

[Carheenlea]

Snow easing off in Peebles now, so good news for (West) Borders Hibbies. Roads should be passable for later on.

[Gala Foxes]

Cheers Peebles Hibs - hopefully better weather heading to Gala

I would have thought if the game was to be off it would be because of a waterlogged pitch as opposed to snow.
