Game still on going by SSN, Halsey happy with conditions and will be keeping an eye on it

It showed the pitch... it will go ahead with doubt IMO.

Lots of water on the pitch or just a bit muddy?

Pitch is in great condition... Just very wet, they have lamps on it etc.

It'll be a ****ing mud pit after half-time though.

[The Glove]

Oh come on don't **** this up for me! I've been waiting for this match with a big smile on my face, bought a 6pack, a ton of chips...

Thye'll be cold by the time it kicks off wont they? Nothing worse than cold chips.

Hopefully the water drains then because there's nothing worse than watching a match in conditions like the one described up at Newcastle. Tactics just go out the window and you just have to ride your luck. The ball will definitely be in the air quite a bit me thinks.

I reckon it'll be off, the ball wasnt bouncing, be a shame as more than anything Momo badly needs this.

It could well be but the ref is obviously giving it as long as possible/ The gates must be opening pretty soon so they'll have to make a decision before fans start entering the stadium.

if he was going to call it off, he'd have done it at that point, which was over an hour ago, if conditions don't get any worse then it'll go ahead.

Can call it off anytime. Fans were in the grpund when the Arsenal game was called off. The gates will open at half 1.

[MrMichael]

Just hope that they slip on the floor, make a tit of them self and end up soaked, that's enough.

They slip, dive feet first into Given, and injure him. Badly. And its then shown on MOTD

Yeah, that'd do

Not sure about that, they called off the Arsenal game when conditions were far far better than when they said it was ok. Clubs are always going to put the "its ok at the minute" spin on it as they dont give a **** about fans travelling. We'll see anyway, its only a gut feeling after seeing the lack of bounce on the pitch and news of rain continuing

[Joe Le Toff]

Haha. A Barcode friend of mine gets to go on the pitch today and present some supporters club player of the season trophy for last year to Shay Given, he'll be so gutted if it gets called off that I almost want it to be - is that really horrid of me?

No

That ref had said the conditions had got worse tho in that instance, like I say if he was happy with the way it was 3 hrs ago, I don't see his opinion changing drastically unless there's a torrential downpour.

[Shaggy]

The game definitely goes ahead.
