Watching the news and they are due to get 7 inches of rain in Cumbria over the next 24 hours , we might be facing another Saturday without a game.  |

I'm leaving at 6.30 saturday so have a vested interest! My mate who lives up that way has spoken to them, the Ground will be fine, and they are confident it will go ahead. Only doubts are if anyone can get through, the worst of the rain should be done by tomorrow morning so should be cleared up by saturday.

Looking at the recent weather forecast it will start again Saturday morning, winds up to 70mph as well.

Their club carpark is under water at the moment apparently. Doesn't look to promising.

The car park is used to drain flood water apparently, so looks though it's doing it's job. |

http://www.carlisleunited.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10361~1879443,00.htmlWe have been advised, as at 2pm on Thursday 19 November, that it is unlikely that parking facilities will be available for the Swindon game on Saturday.
Fans are advised to arrive early to seek alternative parking arrangements. Please abide by local traffic and parking enforcement regulations at all times.
Sounds like they are hopeful the game is going ahead but no car park. |

73 mph would be a hurricane, Wilson needs to tell he players to keep the ball down. Playing Macca might be a problem if he gets blown over the stand. |

Tie a piece of string round his leg and use him as a winger/kite |

He'd still not win anything in the air. |

He won a header against Norwich. Just seen the weather forecast this morning, seems Carlisle's flood defences have worked not like other places in Cumbria. Pitch might be playable, but what about access to and around the ground, health and safety for supporters might postpone the game. |
