    Default Game likely to be called off?

    With storm Darren or whatever they've called it due over the weekend, are we thinking a postponement of our game is likely?

    Are we thinking it has 50/50 chance of going ahead? I'm wanting to make my way over but ain't bought a ticket just in case. I'm guessing there will be pay on the gate as well.

    Hull forecasts 40-50 mph winds slight chance of rain. I doubt it will be cancelled.
    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    It's not exactly trying clear half a foot of snow off the terraces and pitch, and feeling so cold by half time that you're checking your fingers for them turning black and falling off.

    I should imagine its the West Coast and within watershed of the Pennines are most at risk weather wise. The Wakefield v Warrington might be touch and go as that pitch from memory doesn't drain all that well. Driving over to Hull should be good with a predicted 45 to 50 mph tail wind.

    It's £2 extra on the gate and unlikely to be a problem getting in assuming the weather doesn't interfere.

    Too much hype around weather these days. Storm this and storm that, blowing a garden chair over, it used to just be a windy day.

    Hype maybe, but I've just had an email offering a full refund on my train tickets if I choose not to travel Saturday or Sunday!

    That will be northern (or whoever is running the railways) wanting a get out from doing what our subsidy requires them to do.

    I'm down in Southampton at the moment in probably the worst of the weather and the football has just been played so I'd be surprised if our game is cancelled. It might even do us a favour and slow the game down a bit.
