SNOW!!!!!

[Harry J Allstars]

I work in the city and obviously with the current weather conditions travelling back to Gravesend could become like a mountinous treck up Everest, my mum has just rang from Falconwood where she has been sat for and hour waiting for a train. So would anyone be able to give regular updates throughout the day letting me know what's going on weather wise in Gravesend? Based on these reports I'll be able to make my mind up about what time to leave work early if at all. Obviously a little over exageration is required as this is work we're talking about.

[Hirsty]

Still snowing in Gravesend H. RK's forecast is for it to die out this afternoon. I'd take half day if I was you & treat yourself to an afternoon in the pub !

 

Cheers,

Just hope this stuff goes before Saturday. Home game + I'm off for a change = I'll be there!!

I waited 45mins for a train and then gave up. Obviously that's not very long, but then that's all I consider my job worthy of.

 

Apparently, a train turned up about 5mins after I left, but I won't tell my boss that.

They were fine very early this morning, think they are getting worse now though, if the game is off on Sat blame Chatham Gary for getting a day off work.....

I'm at school and sitting in a free lesson at the moment, the snow is a lot heavier, half the kids aren't in school, a mass snowball fight this morning. Hoping to all go home, though! Cancel School!

 

PRAY!

 

Hope snow goes by Saturday. Don't really want more tuesday night matches.

According to metcheck, loads more snow today (it's coming down hard outside), then no snow tomorrow, then sleety snow on Saturday

 

They may be wrong, but have been right about today for a fortnight

According to Th EXpress , We are entering a catastrophic phase of Weather , with "experts" predicting the "extreme possibility" of the return of The Mammoth. People will be buying Braed and Soup in bulk and all utilities wil be shut off.

 

Which in reality means it will all thaw out soon.

 

Have we got any long haired Parker Wearing school kids preferably with flares to help clean the pitch. Or have I been watching too much ESPN

Any snow news anyone, in London it's clear, just worried about Sat's game??

[Harry J Allstars]

At work we're all going out now to celebrate the snow.

[StuThompson]

I'm kind of hoping sat gets called off. I'm on call this weekend and although it means I can possibly make it I bet I get a call as I'm about to leave home for the game.

[Santa]

I think we should hope it goes ahead. Morecambe went into overtime Tuesday at Stevanage before losing despite their impressive away form. So with another long trip south and with

that game maybe still in their legs we may not get an opportunity to beat them.

[Santa]

...a better opportunity

[chilled out entertainer]

overtime?

[Santa]

They played extra time in the FA Trophy Replay at Stevenage score was 0 - 0 after 90 mins 3 - 0 aet.

That, apparently, had nothing to do with the snow and more to do with with Network Rail's faulty points affecting the line via Bexleyheath. Oh, and via Sidcup.

Whilst all this was going on, I was safely tucked up in bed.

Being involved with the sponsorship of Saturday's match, it would be a huge headache to arrange an alternative game if it was to be postponed. The type of sponsorship package Vizards Wyeth pay for is not appropriate for a re-arranged mid-week game unfortunately. So I for one hope it can go ahead.

 

And I also agree it could be a good time to play Morecambe due to their Tuesday night match.

 

Finally the fixture list would become overcrowded if it were postponed.

Well I got to work ok, mind you when I got to Abbey Wood yesterday morning they said there were no trains. But one did turn up 10 mins later and I got to work in Central London a little later than normal. But getting home last night was ok and no problems this morning, and the predicted heavy frost has not materialised where I live. Hope the pitch at Stonebridge Road is ok as I was planning to come back and watch the Fleet tomorrow. First chance I have had really since the Boxing Day game against Crawley.
