[Mtoto]

Just been through Falmer on train from Lewes. Visibility at the station maybe 25-30m?

just googled to see how often games get cancelled due to fog, and it does seem to happen from time to time back for a short time from abroad and given a ticket for tonight, I'll be more than a little bit peed off if the games gets cancelled...

This page I founf about cancelled talks about our home game vs York City in 1996 getting called off after we invaded the pitch and broke the crossbars. I'd forgotten about that.

It does also say "When it comes to weather frozen conditions and waterlogged pitches are the main reasons for abandoned - and postponed - matches with fog now not being the problem it once was."
... so is there less fog now than there once was?

 

[LamieRobertson]

We need fog lights at pitch level to see through the fog, could be another night for the mobile phone lights

I'm more hopeful HB&B will use all his wind to blow it away

Probably been done already but here goes.

Fog off

Probably due to lighting.

Can you te-ell us
Can you te-ell us
Can you tell us when we've scored
Can you te-ell u-us when we've scored.

Now down to half a pitch length in Ovingdean. Not hopeful that this will happen.

Isnt that the criteria for the ref he has to stand in the centre circle and be able to see both goals.

Top of WSU might be asking if they can be told if the games started

Cardiff Fans will be more pissed off than us if called off....:

 

[Mellotron]

Any protocol for when the club needs to inform fans by?

I remember a Withdean game called off for ice around the stadium area, I was literally turning the corner off London Road heading up to the stadium when it was announced.
