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.

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

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.

Might be a nice cosy night in watching Arsenal v Barca

[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.

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

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.

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.

[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!

Heard on the radio that leith was flooding.

My back garden is starting to flood, I can see the Tyne from my window, nearly burst it's banks and the water isn't running far beneath the bridge.

I think semi finals are one-off games now - no replays.

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.

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.
