I said that the day before yesterday.

The weather in east Kent is absolutely wild this morning. Strong winds have been building up since about 3 a.m. The Port of Dover closed just after 8 and no ferries can arrive or depart; there are 6 of them lined up just off the coast at Deal - presumably others have been kept in Calais; reports of high-sided vehicles being blown over; the bridge across to the Isle of Sheppey has been closed.

If the match is off, I hope they decide and announce it in plenty of time - BEFORE any of us have set off.

As we've booked travel and accommodation, we'll go anyway. I'm sure we'll find something to do.:icon_wink

There's some heavy snow being forcast by the BBC for Blackpool in the next 24 hours! Followed by lighter snow showers thereafter.

And me please Newts - intend leaving Leicester at around 10ish. Although I'll probably check the radio, website and stuff first of course!

Be on IMO

 

[spionfox]

Well? Is it still on? Anyone know

 

[spionfox]

Right, nothing on RL about any doubts so setting off in about an hour.

Just as well really seeing as Piper and Barber are doing the commentary for those unlucky enough to see it for themselves :icon_bigg
