I still think there is some damage they are worried about.
Yeah, to Caddis so better to call it off  |

Anyone who has been out in it knows this is the right decision, nothing canny about it - the game would have been a farce.
I like Wellens response to the question about do you feel sorry for Stephen Benda who's family have flown over for the game - "auf wiedersehen Pet, better find a flight and get back home" Brilliant, love the dour manc sense of humour..

you can't call a game off because it would be a farce. not at 2pm.
if the ball doesn't roll out the stand is falling apart fair enough.

Poor to call it off this late in the day. Every single weather forecast/app I’ve looked at has said we’ll get exactly this weather for days now.
Indeed. Not sure what changed between 11/12 and 2 that it couldn't have been called off earlier, save people travelling |

There will be a valid reason it was called off so late, they haven’t just done this because they have only just noticed its a bit breezy

Probably. So one would assume that can only be structural damage to the stadium as theaskton suggests? |

I think the rain starting around 1pm has added to the decision tbh..
It's not like nobody on here has turned up at a ground only for it to be called off.. personally I can remember Walsall and Colchester.

"as of 12-12:30 had level of confidence it was safe, as per last hour/hour quarter it deteriorated quickly... in contact with the referee throughout" - mark isaacs
that's all I heard, anyone hear all of it?

Ahh come on Berni it's only just about a Gale. High wind at best. The game wouldn't have been best but not really a farce. There have been many a game played in worse. The safety element obviously concerns the ground fixtures/fittings but if Town needed an excuse to call it off then today would be the best disguise. I feel as other have said, this forecast has been consistently tracked and forecast. Very rare a "Michael Fish" happens these days, so they could've called it off this a.m |

Bolton in the SF of the League Cup was the most annoying. |

When you play in a purpose built wind tunnel, this is always likely.
