[Archived] Villa Semi Final Match Preview

[bob fleming]

You sound like a sorry bunch over there! You should've seen how much snow we have!

This is proper snow mate - not like that pretend wimpy stuff you lot get. Proper snow. Flakes the size of footballs. I'm just waiting for the Ice Storm forecast for this evening.

[stuwilky]

He was suggesting we have the advantage if it goes ahead, as those players would be back for Villa if it's postponed.

I apologise if that is the case, but its not clear with all these posts. And Im still wound up after that numpty Hughesy earlier for some reason. It's being stuck at home with the kids that's done it to me! And Ive only been here an hour since school closed!

[Hughesy]

Ignore him, he's thick a pig s***, and feels the need to act as if he is actually apart of the club to make himself feel/appear bigger and more important.

Awwwwwww here he is!! You will find you missed an s off that word . Who's thick?!

Im nothing to do with the club - just a fan mate. I gave them some good suggestions and now I get a few snippets of info & get sent some ideas to see what I think, as a fan - nothing more or less.

Im simply trying to get info for everyone from that contact to help people as quick as possible......

[guybrfc]

Finally youve stopped pretending to be a Rovers fan.

What the hell are you talking about? The question asked was who has the advantage if played in the snow, and we do.

[ABBEY]

can add to hughsies bumph...cretin...just cancelled with my ex about picking my lad up . phone lost signal and then i see your acting like a prat lying thru your teeth like the oracle you think you are...now ive to ring here again to say i listened to that idiot oracle.

[Majiball]

Can I ask how bad the snow is, and before people answer I'm in my 30's and have seen snow 6ft plus in Scotland. Is it drivable or is it that people don't know how to drive on it?

The snow in Pool is not bad at all and really its idiots who haven't got a clue what do to, like the chap I saw doing a drag racer impersonation into the railings at the lights today.

Hughesy thanks for letting us know what you've heard.

[rog of the rovers]

According to the forecast its due to stop soon.

So if we get a clear run from 12 til kick off I would imagine the game will go ahead, primarily to appease the television audience!

Saying all that, I wouldnt be suprised if its called off.

you said its off....and you said i talk crap.

[broadsword]

Is BwD council as skint as my local council?

Is that why they haven't gritted?

Or was the grit budget cut to give everyone 3 or 4 different-coloured wheelie bins.

[Hughesy]

you said its off....and you said i talk crap.

Awwwww here comes another!!

I said that yes - thats what someone text me - hopefully the club will also say the same too!

Whether I said that or not, you still talk crap too!

Its drivable, but not especially an enjoyable one!

The biggest problem with the area when it snows are all the hills. For instance it always snows worse in Blackburn than it does in Preston as Blackburn is higher, then again it always snows worse in Darwen than it does in Blackburn as that is higher, conversely it always snows worse in Rawtenstall/Rossendale than it does in Darwen as they are higher.

Therefore probably everyone on the messageboard is seeing different levels of snowfall.

Those that live on or around bus routes and main roads should be ok to get to Ewood.

Didn't you say last night that the match would definitely go ahead?

[grizfoot]

I'd say this is the highest snowfall we've had in years and it's still coming down, and yes they are massive snowflakes like as already been mentioned.

[Blackpool_Rover]

Surely if they are talking to the football league its only about re-arranging...so it should be off.

I suppose, if you like you could call it driveable. I can't get my car out at the moment but that's for me facing uphill. The guy behind me has also been nice enough to park a very considerable 0.2 inches away from my back end.

[Kelbo]

Now, we are in the transfer window, what happens if we sell three of our squad, they wont be available, neither will any new signings as they werent available at the date of the original game, assuming it was called off!!!

Well, thats my understanding of things, anyone know for sure?

[Gav]

By telling people the games off? When it isn't?

I'm going for a lie down.....

It's not just how bad this fall is - it's what it's lying on top of. Our estate hasn't been clear of snow for just under 3 weeks now. In that time the snow has become compacted and the surface before this recent fall resembled an ice rink - in fact i saw a kid skating on it the other day. There's not much snow here in the ribble valley compared with the amount there was in Blackburn when I left last night, but if it freezes there will be enormous problems for people getting home after the match.

[savage8]

[Bobby G]

Is it forecast to be sunny around noon time?

Or is still snowing as of now in Blackburn?

[den]

SSN: game off.
