Maybe it has happened before, but I can’t recall such a scenario.
Off the top of my head games at Leicester and Brentford?Quote:

Both away though i think. Can't remember a home game being off.
Even then the above were probably because of frozen pitches?
One positive is that unless both Hull and QPR win we won't go back to bottom 3.
I don't think the Met Office used to give out these red weather warnings.
Having said that I can't remember a match being postponed because of wind.
Guess we've global warming to thank.
Leicester at home in 2009 was called off on the morning of the match (I looked it up). Didn't we also have a game called off at the CCS (v Fulham?) as there was damage to the roof?Quote:

When theclub heard this, they said, "well if you're not coming, we may as well not play"
So sorry lads, it's our fault.
I thought it was Derby in 2009? and the game at the CCS was nearly called off but wasn't and that was the game that we returned finally to blue. We won 1 -0 Sean Morrison scored.Quote:

For the Leicester game I was 160 miles into my journey when I heard of the postponement (somewhere around Monmouth).
Not happy.
An early call on this one is the right thing to do.
Absolutely bizarre calling a game off this early (it isn’t as if there is 6 foot of snow)Quote:

Just absurd.
It was the first game after we changed back to blue. I took the dog for a walk in Jubilee Park early on the morning of the game and when I saw what had happened to the Canton Stand, I was convinced the match would be called off. As it was, I can’t remember the conditions affecting the game too much, it was an awful watch though - this was during Russell Slade’s time in charge and Fulham had Ross McCormack and ten mediocre others in those days.Quote:

At the other end goal kick blowing back out for a corner. Would be great fun.
So what's it like now? My phone is telling me that Barry is under a severe wind warning. It sounds to me like the club have done something sensible for a change. Imagine going to the game and then having to evacuate from the stadium due to wind damage. I wouldn't fancy that.
It's still.awful. They were right to call it off when they did.Quote:

So you haven’t seen the tree squashing a car on Cathedral Road ?Quote:

I don't think the decision was made due to it being too windy, as the forecast had it to start settling down from mid-afternoon.
I believe the decision was made due to variables, i.e, would the stadium's structure be compromised, trees/power cables being unsafe, etc.
Good shout.
NonsenseQuote:
