Carlisle weather

[bpoolrover]

I’m sacking it off. I have a high sided vehicle. If the A66 is shut I suspect the M62 will be extra busy and probably take ages to get across. It sounds like driving up the M6 will take us deeper into the storm.
Getting there could be an adventure but then doing the return in the dark is not worth the risk

I’ll watch it on the tv instead
I was mainly going so my lad could visit a new ground but I’ll take him next time

Safe travels to all that go

a 66 is open just seen it on the news

I saw it too but it looks like a lot of snow in that area.

yes, dont know if the snow is further on than carlisle thou as they have none there

On the bbc news article that has been mentioned the reporter said that the gates hadn’t been closed.

[Lytham Rover]

It's lashing down with snow here this morning

Must be even worse on the A66

Doubt that match will be on

where are you?

Unsurprisingly Bedale

[adamtherover]

Road closures on A1,  ffs, I think we have to bite the m62 bullet

[roversdude]

Sh1t don’t know which route to take now it’s a long way up to 66 to turn round again - that said Waze still wants me to go over 66

[Lytham Rover]

I remember a night game where the rain was being whipped along almost horizontally

I had a ticket c/o a bloke that lived there and so was in main stand. Our fans were still getting wet in the opposite Stand despite being right at the back and way beyond the corner flag

Appalling conditions and Carlisle were desperately seeking points to avoid going non league

As the game wore on the wind dropped every now and again and Leo FW scored the winner on 70 minutes. I think Carlisle had only won one of 19 games at that point

If its that bad today it will be BAD

Halfway up the main stand and getting wet!

There was a photo of Andy Warrington trying to get the ball over the halfway line as the rain and wind were horizontal

[ss1953]

All trains from Scotland cancelled and M74 shut at 2 places. Decided to put on my coal fire (smokeless) and listen to the match.

Gutted.

[GazLaz]

I think the 62 will be fine. Not as bad of a road as people make out. Be 3 hours from Donny that way with the toe down.

Yes, think it was the same game one of the advertising hoardings came down from behind the goal!!

I remember that night very well. Never seen rain like it and there were some videos doing the rounds as well I seem to remember

[Padge_DRFC]

Tranmere away was a similar story last season. Horrific getting there for that Friday night game. Players seemed to make more of a point applauding the fans that went that night too I noticed.

That reminds me of the night match at Grimsby a few years ago.

BIG incident on M62

After Junction at top of M18 after Thorne and Westbound towards Leeds

Sorry

[Spud]

I can't believe there hasn't even been a pitch inspection mentioned tbh.

Safe travels to all the brave souls heading up there, I might have been one had it not been for work.

[Ldr]

A1 closed before the a66 looking on Google maps right now

You had my deepest sympathy that night for sure

I was dry as a bone on opp side of Ground and could not believe the rain was parallel to floor ang clearly getting Rovers fans most of first half

Never seen rail like it apart from Grimsby that night

[bpoolrover]

Carlisle have posted that the car park is shit due to being waterlogged but no mention of the match or anything

[bpoolrover]

Just rang them all is good there end no pitch inspection planned

[Copps is Magic]

Their pitch looked immaculate yesterday.

Apparently it's shut because it's shit!

Good news
It’s pouring it down on M62 currently at Halifax Hudds area

[Ldr]

Just spoke to their box office, def no inspection planned, pitch and surrounds all fine according to them. Just the joys of the a69 from Newcastle then

Ha ha I never even thought of that being a typo, just thought they were being honest

[Chris Black come back]

It is definitely on.

Carlisle United have just issued statement saying: "There are no issues with the pitch ahead of today’s game against @drfc_official- see you all later!".

[idler]

Bradford City match postponed after pitch inspection and heavy rain melting the snow so M62 should be clear.

[DMnumber4]

The game where LFW scored and the hoardings blew off was Sat 29 Nov 2003.

Sure it was dark before kick off though and so definitely felt like a night game.
