Southampton Game - FA Cup

[RyRovers]

Will it be on this Saturday with the weather forecast and if so are you going?

[dknward2]

Looking at ticket sales yesterday looks like very few people are going.

Guessing most are waiting to see what the weather will do before deciding, others are not bothered with it as its not really a big game and one we have a high ish probability of losing

[Thorney]

Personally cannot see this going ahead.

The weather hasnt exactly warmed up since last weekends postponment. Can see this being called off friday.
Southampton fans have a long way to come and likely would set off very early sat morning. So club will let them no early

Priced wrong. Club thought this would get a decent crowd. Not at £20 a go after Xmas. £50 family of 4.

totally agree should have been £15 adult £10 OAP kids £5 and a family ticket £30 2 adults 2 kids under 14

I’m going with my mate, brother, and 2 nephews - it’s a family day out a good few times a season as we all have STs and try to get to as many away and cup games as work allows. However, I think it’s a big doubt it being on but fingers crossed!

Going if it’s on

I believe both clubs have to agree the price  for cup games could be wrong

[colincramb]

I would imagine most people are waiting until they know the game is on or not before buying. Some won’t fancy it/can’t make a reply on a Tuesday/Wednesday night so won’t want to buy now and then lose money

[drfchound]

I’m pretty sure that anyone who has a ticket but is unable to attend on a rearranged date would be eligible for a full refund.

[Metalmicky]

I think there may be several postponements this weekend..... could it mean that if our game is moved to midweek, it might be picked up for TV coverage...?

Just what I was thinking.
I will be very surprised if the game go ahead on Saturday.
The Vertu match against Fleetwood looks like it will have to be moved.

[turnbull for england]

Canal is frozen over in Thorne and the ground crunches under foot, going to take a real shift in temperatures to be playable I think

[roversdude]

There hasn’t really been any change in temperature to thaw the pitch since Sunday and looking at tomorrow and Saturday morning can’t see it being on unless we have hired some big heaters

[Fal]

Yeah after being intially confident that it would be fine i am very much doubtful now. Especially since this storm is coming tonight and we are meant to get 10cm of snow

[roversdude]

Just a bit of sleet showing on weather app (West End)

Was on BBC Radio Sheffield this morning for South Yorkshire to potentially get up to 10cm of snow, plus heavy winds when the storm hits this evening around 1800.

[moses]

5 a side tonight at Goals should be fun .

[anton123]

Is this game on the TV ?

[roversdude]

The 5 a side game ? lol

Southampton just loaned a goalkeeper from Bayern Munich

They must be worried about our strikers 

[knockers]

I think that it’ll be on as my dogs last poo last night wasn’t frozen this morning.

This is the kind of data we need.

[roversdude]

No surprise but the coldest place in the universe have postponed their game v Notts County already

You should let him out , it would  have then

[rich1471]

Think they will call it Friday around 2pm before Southampton set off to travel

Ahh, the old Bill Foggitt method of weather forecasting.

Early contender for post of the year this I think!
