Could be a great leveller.
Was a time when facing Bournemouth I would have thought that was a bad thing but I'm not so sure now!

Check with the daily Express, soon to be called daily weather Armageddon news. They are obsessed with weather forecasts.

80MPH....Sort of puts into perspective what The Caribbean islands went through just a few weeks ago with winds more than twice that speed, coupled with a devastating sea swell....80mph is a light breeze to them folks...

So windy it's a safety issue. Like v WBA in 2004. There hasn't been many postponements at the Bet 365. Top of my head I can't think of any others. |

Its only a brief spell joe canna see a postponement mate. Safety issue caused postponement of a Crwho match i think ? Cos of snow around approaches, similar with Arse a few years ago if memory serves me ? The WBA wind game i did hosp with may dad (Rip) and walking accross the North CP the win lifted him completely off his feet for a second or so ! Luckily he landed back on his feet ! |

I'm a bit worried about being in the Upper Tier as its the highest part of the Stadia. If it got up with a strong one could i get blown off?

Should be o'reet now we've got that corner filled in!!! Given the expected wind direction on Saturday the new corner won't help matters much - we should have filled in the tunnel corner if we wanted to give more shelter to the pitch.  From the point of view of stadium safety in high winds ALL the corners need to be filled in. |

Would it cost too much on at least continuing with the sheeting around both exposed corners. Never mind the pitch it would help me and several thousand others in the stand on a cold, wet and blustery day !!!!

I laugh in the face of 80mph winds (of course from safety indoors!). I've been through 6 hurricanes all with higher winds - you're all a bit soft over there!  Tomorrow here will be 26 degrees, mostly sunny with a gently breeze, though! |

BBC weather is saying a shower is coming up from the south. Bringing rain and 40 mph wind with them. Between 12pm and 4 pm. I wouldn't call Bournemouth a shower, granted they are struggling at the moment, but a shower seems a little strong |

Not acceptable! In my opinion we need to replace the weatherman!

My son used to work for the council, heavy snow and the gritters were out,they have pre programmed satnavs to tell them where to go, loads of the drivers were Stoke fans, they used to (and may still do) be known to have "problems" with the satnavs, especially it seemed when Stoke were at home when they all turned up at the Brit at the same time circling the ground and surrounding areas, the cynical amongst us may say that this was to make sure the game went ahead, the same cynical people may also say that they had the same problem when vale were at home, except that they still ended up circling stokes ground.
