Very heavy snow in Hendon big chance this Is off imo.

Pull yourself together chap.

You'll soon warm up and regain a satisfying sense of happiness once you twat a few Rochdale fans with snowballs.

Didn't even consider this. It'd probably be more entertaining than the game, judging by the other cup matches I've been to this season

I Can't remember there ever being a match called off at Wembley. Match will go ahead if the two teams turn up.

This is actually a serious consideration. I assume Rochdale would have travelled down yesterday, but if they didn't...

Don't think it'll be because of the pitch, it'll be more likely because of the surrounding areas.

Absolutely sheeting it down in central London at the moment, not sure what Wembley's like though.

Edit: Skysports on twitter saying the game will definitely go ahead.

Probably because Wembley is never used between Nov- early March in normal season. League cup was early this year. And this cold snap is relatively late.

Problem with Wembley is that it can be 70 degrees outside and still be cold inside the way the wind blows through, God alone knows what it will feel like tonight, take the chill factor and double it probably.

If there ever was a game to watch on the TV, this is probably it.

SSN Reporting.

IT'S ON.

Not sure we're going to go now. Would be by train but not sure it's worth it.

Anyone still going?

I am with 27 and 9 year old sons.

 

[riggi]

I just know when I'm sat on that train I'll regret going .

 

[Saoirse]

I wonder if there's any chance of it being played behind closed doors if the snow keeps coming and it's not safe for fans in the surrounding area. A postponement at this stage would cause scheduling chaos.

Yes mate I am, you are in danger of becoming the definition of a fair weather fan!

The worse the weather, the less chance Kane or Eriksen have of playing.

No chance - it would take a full overnight of heavy snow, where there are few cars on the roads etc for that to happen.
It would be called off if the paths etc were dangerous and if there was a risk of injury to supporters inside the stadium. It's got a roof, so zero risk of that.

I hate Wembley as it is . Fuck it. Got two weeks off. I'll only be doing nothing this evening anyway.

 

[yankspurs]

A bit of snow and it might be called off? Unfortunate. Football in the snow is awesome! Just do not risk Dembele. Leave him home in bubble wrap. Same with Kane and Eriksen.

Can't see that happening, FA will miss out on a load of revenue from fans.
