London-bound Reds should keep an eye on weather

By vitty, on January 17th, 2013

Reds planning to travel down to London for Sunday’s game should keep a close eye on the weather.

According to the BBC, it is due to start snowing in London on Fruday at around 11:00 amid temperatures of -1C.

It will keep snowing throughout Friday, the forecast says, and will only stop at 06:00 on Sunday.

Temperatures on Sunday are set to be around freezing.

  There are some snow flurries today in London – but nothing big just yet. Perhaps problems could be at the Manchester end from the warnings I saw travelling to the game last night around the M62.

  Belting it down here in central London. Forecast for all day and tomorrow.

  On a seperate note if you feel you can’t make it to the game then post the ticket to me. I’ll make worthy use of it

  Chelsea game couple of years ago at Xmas time got called off 2 days before the game due to heavy snow. Anyone expect a decision to be made tomorrow rather than the day of the game?

  John, I can tell you as a fact that there was no snow in Chelsea when that game was called off. It was a disgrace and done as they had no injuries. Incredibnly the away club get no say, so Chelsea just called it off and got council to voice some minor safety worries.

  I think Sunday can go ahead. Even if the stadium is ok, the police/ fire brigade etc will be under so much pressure all weekend and it seems a stupid use of resource to send them all to football matches (however much as football fans we would liek them to).

  I have spoken to people at Spurs today who really don’t know yet, I think it is too early to call. But agree with John that is more likely to get calledd tomorrow than on the day.

  On a more positive note, London weather forecast seems to go from heavy snow now to light snow overnight and light snow tomorrow day. So it may all ease off a bit.

  Oli, being from Herefordshire wouldnt know that, but remember locals in London saying that the snow was non-existent despite Chelsea calling it off. Remember going there for the 3-3 draw last season and there being snow present.

  Hopefully decision is taken tomorrow rather than the morning of the game when plenty of fans are already on there travels.

  Traveling from sweden. If the Manchester trains will be canceled is there chances that the game will be postponed even iof the London traffic is up and running?

  Looks ok down south today, no significant snow overnight, I would guess game will be on

  “Chelsea v arsenal will go ahead unless weather significantly worsens”.

  So we might be ok,
