Of course it matters. If there was snow set already then it would be in jeopardy. If it starts falling around the game then that is less serious.
Ticket office say it's 100% going ahead for what that is worth.

Of course it matters. If there was snow set already then it would be in jeopardy. If it starts falling around the game then that is less serious.
Ticket office say it's 100% going ahead for what that is worth.
That's pretty much confirmation then, you'd think.I agree the game will 100% be played.
I bet their will be quite a few empty seat , with City fans and Facebook pages, being quick to point out , how we have fallen and we cant even sellout a Derby match.
Much, much better form than only dropping 2 points in 14 games? How much better form did you have in mind?
Don't think people are so dumb to believe such shit.
Police can overrule them though, I think.Off topic but looks like some Arsenal fans who appear on AFTV are stuck on their way to Southampton too
But the pitch maintenance guys wouldn't let the snow just set up until the game.I can't make it to the game, so I'm hoping for a postponement, but I'm realistic to the fact that the game is more than likely going ahead.
Even if conditions around the ground do deteriorate, the global audience for this game is huge. It is way too big a commercial event to be cancelled for a few thousand unable to make it to their seats.
You would think so, but plenty do.I think if the game was destined to be called off, we would have known by now, no? at least for the sake of the travelling fans!
yes. but my broadband isnt great and i can#t get rid of the channel banner across the page! bloody annoying
I'm talking around the ground. We have undersoil heating so of course the pitch will be fine up until KO.
Why thank you Needham, very kind Sir.
He ponders the level of sarcasm and makes a move for The Bishop Blaize knowing he is better at drinking beer ahead of getting warm on ST2.
Ah ok. I was assuming that a decision had been made along with the police.
Ah fair enoughJust driven from crewe to altrincham and onto the metro. All lookd pretty perfect conditions on this bit.
Seems south and midlands are the real bad conditions.
Due to arrive 4.5hours before the game..earliest ever!Selfishly, I hope it gets called off now, for our sakes and Pogba’s. If it’s on attendence will be low. We’re not used to playing in a half empty stadium so this plays into their hands
On a serious note, we really do need a home crowd in full voice for this one.Have a good feeling for some reason. Arsenal win was a big turning point for me regarding Mourinho.
2-1 United.Whats happening , why wouldn't it be played?Snowing here in Sweden, hope it fecks off up north and not down to Manchester.
Snow causing travel problems
It's not necessarily about the pitch, it's about the safety of people getting to the stadium.
Anyway, it's all a bit of a nonsense. No way this game is cancelled now. Weather is fine and there's barely any snow on the ground.
Absolutely no way that snow down south, stopping some people getting up north, would be a threat to this game going ahead. None at all.
I don't think so either, but we were holding our breath yesterday waiting to see if it snowed around the Manchester area.City to win 2-0. We'll harass them for the first 15 minutes and then revert to our shell, with Pogba missing we won't have any transition from defence to attack.
Fecking everything is aligning for Citeh this year. Late goals, lack of injuries to key personnel, decisions in top 6 games, form of players, form of opponents and now our talisman missing the game.The club are telling people to get there early so that's good enough confirmation for me.
Can't wait, hope the ground is rocking today.
Tbf if Pogba hadn't trampled all over Bellerin's leg he'd be playing. They've also had a fair few injuries, they just have good enough depth to cope.Did Pogba play when we beat Chelsea 2-0 at OT last season? I think he did right? Hoping there's a good omen out there and we can cope without him in the big matches
Yeah, that’s the feeling I’m getting. We have been really unlucky with Pogba being sent off, it hugely affects our chances in this game.
Not a chance we won’t score, at Old Trafford.
He did. With Herrera and Fellaini in mid, Lingard behind Rashford.
Actually think the weather does play in to City hands as it might just take the edge off the atmosphere a bit, with some people choosing not to travel.
You'd be surprised.If people can't get up from below the Midlands it'll be half empty!
That would be a sight at the derby...a half empty Old Trafford.
Is that actually a possibility? I'd be surprised if half our matchday support is made up of supporters from down south.
When was the last time you could say the atmosphere at Old Trafford had a positive influence on our performances? I really doubt there will be any negative impact.
I agree .
I was being sarcastic, to be honest. There are certainly a lot that travel from down south though.We'll win today btw. 4-1.- Status
