Yeah having people turn up will impact the response as much as anything. I'd be astonished if it wasn't postponed within the hour.

 

Agreed. And don't call it off at 5pm when Preston fans are already at the ground.

 

Well at least Manning can’t be blamed for it!!

 

Decision between 3pm and 3.15pm apparently

 

Yep. Just make the call now.

 

That would be the height of stupidity, it’s not just PNE fans with longish travel plans. Needs a decision post haste.

 

Not to mention that there will be a cordon around it for a long time after it is out. I would say 100% it is called off. I'll eat my head if the game is on.

 

Sounds like the decision has already been made. Just waiting for the announcement.

 

Yep leaving sunny Bournemouth at 5..or was planning to.

 

It could also mean we have Fraser and KWP back for the rearranged fixture.

 

Plus we've had a really heavy schedule lately. I would suggest this could benefit us more than it hurts us.

 

If the game is on, the first song on the playlist ought to be We Didn’t Start The Fire - Billy Joel.

 

Play it next Weds, seeing as we have the Saturday after off.

 

Every Fire Cloud has a silver lining

 

The best part of working with the US team is that they know I am doing UK hours today as I am going to a football match, so am finishing at 12pm EST. There is a current Prod issue that they are trying to draw me in on, but they are keeping me out of it as they think I have to leave at 12pm EST. As they are in the US they are oblivious to the game being cancelled

 

St. Mary's staff have all been sent home.

 

Game off then.

 

Apparently there's debris on the pitch and in the stands.

 

Better than the **** on the pitch for the last couple of games
