Whilst the fans are the most important, none of the match
officials live any nearer - none of them should be travelling.
Well Gavin Ward lives reasonably close but will himself be close
to if not in the red zone.
We are about to be upgraded to a red warning - the match needs
calling off now.
“The red warning area indicates a significant danger to life as
extremely strong winds provide the potential for damage to
structures and flying debris. Although the most exposed coastal
areas in the south and west could see gusts in excess of 90mph,
winds will remain notably strong further inland, with gusts of
between 70-80mph for most within the amber warning area.” Met

Up north, we'd just put our big coat on...

We have no need for coats down South! It's sunny and mild right
now, I'm in jeans, a T-shirt & flip flops, might need to find
some proper shoes for tomorrow. I have a low centre of gravity
so I'll be fine, not so sure about the dog though, he's only the
size of a rat!! We're well used to storms, it's a normal winter
down south, I love the ones with thunder & lightening though,
they are amazing to watch over the sea. Snow though, that's a
whole different ball game - single flake and I'm hiding under my
duvet until it's stopped! They're saying this storm will be the
worst one in 35 years - I slept through the one in 87 despite
part of our roof being torn away! I do think the Met office is
probably over exaggerating it a bit but it's rare to see a red
warning.

The plane carrying Man City players back from Lisbon was forced
to abort it's landing yesterday and had to divert from
Manchester to Liverpool.

Could be a tricky Solent crossing for JJ if officials do travel.
Do IOW ferries or hovercrafts operate in windy conditions?

Condor and Brittany Ferries both announced yesterday that they
would be suspended on Friday morning with some routes cancelled
for Friday & Saturday. That's from Poole and Portsmouth. Red
Funnel, who operate the Isle of Wight route are still planning
to try and maintain the vehicle ferry service but have warned of
disruption and delays. The hovercraft is unlikely to operate,
the ferries, we will see. He will have possibly travelled
today/this evening to the mainland, he'll be aware more than
anyone of expected delays etc. I'm sure the PGMOL would stump up
for a hotel for him.

If there is a red level warning the games in that area should be
off. And if referees live in red risk areas they should be
taken off games and replacd by other officials, if available.
Red level means warning to life and employers, whether that is
EPL or PGMOL, have a duty of care to their employees.

Being told different things here. Sky staff at the ground say
it's on, a source from a more official role said it's 99% off &
just waiting on the epl to sign off on it, so who knows!
Shameful there has been no official announcement either way from
the EPL, Sky or either club.
