I'll be surprised if the games not postponed. Inside the ground will be fine, it's the 11k fans walking in 45 mph gusts. That's strong enough to knock most posters on here over.
Game off on Saturday?

Was rather breezy the other week against Carlisle, is this weekend due to be worse?

It may be off if we were playing tomorrow. We should be ok for Saturday.

Not a chance the game will be off 23mph winds Saturday that's just a stiff breeze on the Gold Coast.

Most are a lot sturdier than that. To have survived some of the total dross served up by BFC, the wind will be a walk in the park.
Grow a pair and put your big coat on.... we're Northerners ffs
Just a word of warning to my fellow tram travellers.
I came up St Chad's road after Carlisle and one was just leaving. While waiting for the next the Southbound driver told us they'd suspended the service, no more trams North.
I believe they've been suspended for a while today as well. So do your research on an alternative, in case Saturday is worse than expected.

Anyone remember the home coming game against Southend, that was worse then Carlisle and that went ahead with no issues, though I was hammered by 1pm so it may not have been bad at all

Early December 2 years ago, stood at the top of your away end in what felt like 70 odd mph winds and cold at that. The 45mph gusts forecast on Saturday are nothing compared to that day. 🌪
