Same here and meant to be worse in the East, rain on the way too. It won't make for a pretty game that's for sure.

[Pretty Boy]

Wind is horrendous at the moment but is meant to ease for a few hours about 2pm.

The fact we are playing Livingston might help as they don't have far to travel. If it was Aberdeen or Inverness there might have been an issue.

[Oscar T Grouch]

I’ve been up since 5am because of the noise from the wind. Think my roof wants a divorce from the rest of the house 😬

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Certainly rather breezy, not had much sleep here.

[CentreLine]

A minor zephyr. What’s the problem 😉

Depends where you are, not much cover here and it's pretty wild.

My dog wouldn't step outside the door, it sounds worse than it is but definitely will be stronger in the East according to the forecast I just watched on the BBC.

[The 90+2]

Mental outside been up since 6 watching a league football ffs and even that is rubbing it in going on about hooper scoring a double in the Scottish cup final.

[JamesHFC]

The weather warning I saw is only between 7am-3pm. Should probably be fine. FWIW I’ve seen games go ahead in stronger winds.

Well, storm Malik hasn't caused any damage here , unlike storm Arwen.!

[Mick O'Rourke]

Like others,the noise has kept me awake most of the night.
And i am partially deaf.
Letter box banging,first though someone at the door.
Gonna be some storm damage today.
Take care if going to game,or anywhere outdoors today.

I’ve been up watching the A league since half 5 and it’s sounded horrendous outside. Calmed down a bit now but still brutal.

Travel info Forth Bridge,restrictions include no double decker buses.
Current wind speed there.. 78mph

[hfc-1875]

If it stays like this there’s no way the game can be played, it would be impossible.

[Irish_Steve]

Just watched a rather heavy wooden bench blow across the garden here in Musselburgh. I know it’s supposed to calm down just before KO but any decision would need to be made before then to stop fans from travelling (although I’m well aware some are on their way already)

Yeah it's the same here.

[Allant1981]

Cant see the game being in doubt at all, it was pretty bad the other night and the game went ahead

[Pretty Boy]

I went out a run about 9 last night and the wind was picking up and pretty unpleasant to run into but largely OK.

This morning I've ventured outside to find a neighbours tree down, the door blown off the bike store and my daughter got knocked off her feet (she is only 4 so unlikely the same would happen to an adult).

I'm usually the first to play down weather conditions but the gusts are pretty severe.

[hfc-1875]

A lot worse today I’d say.

First corner should be fun, it will either blow over the takers head or fly over the East stand

[J-C]

I'm sitting in the taxi on Porty high st and it's like being in a dodgem without the crashing, bloody wild.

60mph gusts showing just now, down to mid to low 40s during the game.

Radio saying police advice is essential travel only. Is travelling to ER to watch football essential? In fact, is travelling to ER to PLAY football essential?
Looking forward to some wild golf later this morning. I suspect oscillation will be an issue! Might even be a few "Mickelsen-esque" putts with a moving ball.
PS playing golf is essential in my book.

[Greenbeard]

Often!

[Hermit Crab]

Many, many train services cancelled throughout central Scotland due to the wind. Blanket speed restrictions place all day. The game should be off.

[JamesHFC]

Would you say the wind at the BSC Glasgow game was similar or worse than this?

[Carheenlea]

Strong winds ruin a game of football. Equally, teams like Livingston ruin games of football as well.

Not going to be a classic.

No sure mate think it's everything going into Edinburgh but there will be a knock on effect anyway.

[Mikey_1875]

Going by Partick Thistles tweet the SPFL wouldn’t be calling anything off till 13:30 for wind. So i’m guessing it would need to be a police decision for fan safety if games were to be called off.

They are playing Arbroath away today however so it’ll be a different kettle of fish to most grounds.

No, 40mph speed restrictions between Edinburgh and Linlithgow, many services cancelled with train crew being out of position due to late running etc. I'm not going today, getting over from Fife will be a nightmare.

High winds occasionally cause a match to be called off usually because of structural damage to the ground causing public safety concerns. Rare, but a example was the Tranmere v Rochdale fixture that should have been played on Boxing Day 2011 but damage to a roof caused safety problems which saw the match postponed. Back in 2004 gale force winds had an more significant impact on League football....

High winds, particularly in the Midlands and the North, hit the country on Saturday March 20th 2004. Division 3 matches at Mansfield and Northampton were abandoned, tragically an Everton fan was killed before the Leicester v Everton Premier League match and a number of matches were postponed. One of the postponed matches was the First Division fixture between Stoke City and WBA, the first postponement at the Britannia Stadium. Referee Keith Hill called off the match 90 minutes before scheduled kick-off time explaining "The high winds are causing channelled air in parts of the stadium, making it difficult to stand in some areas of the field of play. Our prime concern is for the safety of players and spectators, and both managers agreed it would be impossible to play football in such conditions." Further north the Burnley v Wimbledon First Division encounter was another victim of the winds. Burnley's chief executive Dave Edmundson said: "The gusting winds were 70 to 75mph in the upper tier of the James Hargreaves and Jimmy McIlroy Stands and a 16-stone person had been up there and almost blown off their feet."

Hoping the wind will blow our passes so that players can run on to them for a change. Will be very tricky and I doubt there will be much football played but that may well have been the case if it was dead calm. No reason to call the game off as far as I can see.

Looking back, I can’t remember us ever winning a game in “ farcical conditions “ :brickwall:brickwall

[Libby Hibby]

Game will be a potential lottery.

What’s a potential lottery?

[greenginger]

I see The Rangers game up in Dingwall is still on.

If Rangers don’t get their expected win, I wonder if there will be complaints to the SFA because the ref allowed the game to go ahead. :greengrin

[hibbyfraelibby]

Just going down Parkgrove Avenue now and outside St Kitergens church is the Livi team bus just parked up.

Why park there and not go straight to ER?

Maybe just maybe they are waiting on confirmation the game will go ahead.

Pre match meak at Toni Macaroni

[hibbyfraelibby]

Dundee game off now. Looks like we are only East Coast game still on

My dug got blown over mid poop, he was raging 😵 on the plus side, we dont have any stray trampolines in the back garden

I think Dundee is only off because of some structural damage at Dens.

Of course,thats what it will be.
Couple of minutes walk from the Chapel.

Their rooftop cafe with the view of the Bass Rock may be closed.
Been a lot of wind coming out that stand since it was half built.

Got their offside goal though.

[Billy Whizz]

Got their offside goal though.

You still in Fife, very calm now, my hair didn’t blow in the wind

[hibsbollah]

I think they must have stopped at the Tony Macaroni

[Hermit Crab]

Hearts-Motherwell???


Kelty Hearts still on.

[Hermit Crab]

I won't be leaving the house today unless its to put a bet on.

[JimBHibees]

Got their offside goal though.

Don't think that was offside at all. They will definitely benefit expecting a soft pen and left back sent off for looking at Diallo from Nick.

[Keith_M]

Queen St to Edinburgh trains now all running.

Couple of extra stops but every 30 minutes

[BS44]

No bother at all on Princes Street just now. Will be good to go, no doubt.

That's good certainly wind seems to have eased in West Lothian

[Sir David Gray]

Been parked up at the stadium for about an hour and it's a bit blowy but absolutely nothing that will put the game in doubt.

I've attended games in much worse conditions than this over the years.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve played golf in worse.

[MKHIBEE]

No chance that was offside

[JamesHFC]

Great day for a game of footy.

[Allant1981]

Bit blowy up here at the top of the east but good conditions today so far

[Carheenlea]

Great day for a game of footy.

Mild, bright with a little breeze. Perfect for January

[Sir David Gray]

Sitting in my seat, absolutely perfect January day.

[Tarrahib]

We’re just heading into Inverness for the bus down. Not too clever eh?
Back home after yesterday’s game no travel problems at all,doing it all again on Tuesday.
Good old Citylink buses.There were at least 6 other Hibbies wearing colours on the bus.

[Hermit Crab]

Thats some wind out there, cause problems for tonight?

[Blurhibee]

Unfortunately not.

[Since452]

Anyone got any hoses we could use to waterlog the pitch?

[SHODAN]

Our power's just gone.

[Hermit Crab]

Our power's just gone.


Where are you?

[flash]

Where are you?

He doesn't know. The lights are out.

[Bishop Hibee]

Definitely going to be windier than it was on Saturday.

[I'm Spartacus]

It's derby day and I'm reading a 'Game in doubt' thread that 3 days old.

It's GAME ON and the new squad should be looking to start fast and get in their faces, get into them right from the off.
