Fyldelatic Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Weather forecast is zero during tonight and Saturday temperature no higher than +1. Will there be frozen patch in the shadow of main stand which may lead to the match being postponed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehobbit Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Just think the same thing. Met office reporting -2 in parts. As the frost covers don't work below that it could be touch and go. Lets hope its on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It's going to pour down and be very windy apparently, so I shouldn't think there will be a problem. There is also snow forecast for the afternoon during the game, or maybe before. Ice Station Zebra will certainly live up to it's name. Pity we aren't playing some southern softies.

al_bro Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 According to FB Maouch is available tomorrow. His sending off only applies to Checkatrade games. They are also talking to Villa and Wigan to keep Lyden and Lang until the end of the season. Also looking to strengthen in areas (FB wouldn't say where).

Granted might not be as low as that as the frost covers are really old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even sign Lang from Wigan. I don't think Villa would want to part with Lyden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Blue Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 MATCH FORECAST ️ @OfficialOAFC v @buryfcofficial I can't see any #weather issues to threaten the game. Bitterly cold, gusty winds making it feel like -6°C. Rain, sleet & perhaps some snow for a while, arriving late-afternoon. Extra layers needed! 1°C #oafc #IceStationZebra off Oldham Weather (twitter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Villa would want to part with Lyden. Would agree with you about them both staying on loan that would be great. Funnily enough though re their long term future I would think Lyden is the one most likely to be let go. Villa must be planning for the premier league and I don't think he's done enough to be included in plans for that. Lang however might be good enough to scrap around the bottom reaches of the championship or top of the first whjch is where i would expect wigwam to be next year.

Wardie Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Latest I heard from the Met site was that the rain, apart from being wet :D was at risk of falling on icy ground and surfaces also being at risk of black ice. It might be the surrounding areas that could scupper the game. Who makes a decision on the approaches to the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really irks me when people present incorrect information in such a way that it seems they actually know what they are talking about. Please don’t do this.

astottie Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Very windy. A light frost in Saddleworth. I wouldn't expect the game to be in doubt but driving might have an extra edge to it. Probably not as much edge as when I drove back from Fleetwood 3 seasons back when we hit proper snow and couldn't get up the hill from grotton to lydgate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyldelatic Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Those who are driving in from a distance are worried about driving home afterwards, with frozen rain and black ice forecast. 50 miles of black ice isn't something I want to experience.

underdog Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I don't like the sound of this frozen rain...brrrrr...unusual weather conditions predicted..think we should all keep an eye on it and get your thermals on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
