Storm Dennis (Crewe game ON - confirmed)

[plymade]

Need to remember it's been raining since 6pm yesterday. Don't think a few more hours will make much difference.

Have arrived at Marsh Mills. I see the Saturday shoppers are made of sterner stuff than some on Pasoti - out in force. Plenty of the blitz spirit on display!!

Just hoping we don't end up wishing it had been called off once final whistle blows.

Blitz spirit didn't involve posting tabloid like nonsense on social media.

Just hoping we don't end up wishing if had been called off once final whistle blows.

71mph guts of wind and people don’t seem to think the game won’t be a complete farce?

It’s not about getting “wet”. It’s about an actual spectacle.

Which ever side is losing will be moaning like hell to be getting it called off especially as this rain ain’t stopping anytime soon.

Yes of course, enduring the blitz (or dresden, or hiroshima perhaps) is much like going to Marsh Mills on a stormy day.
I love the way the most 'patriotic blitz spirit celebrators' are also the ones who trivialise it the most by likening it to nearly every everything, every day

But games don’t get called off just because there’s the possibility that the game won’t be as perfect or pretty as a game in normal conditions. If a game can’t be played or because of serious health & safety concerns then yes, but just because it may not be a perfect spectacle? No.

This isn't about being "pretty" or "perfect".
I think this isn't normal winter weather.

I guess we shall see though what happens.

If we're 4-0 down and the wind has blown 2 of theirs in you can bet the 'blitz spirit' club will be howling at the ref to call it off

Living down here I’d say it’s starting to feel pretty normal nowadays, not that that’s a good thing.

Bloody treacherous drive down - not looking forward to doing that in the dark on the way back. May end up staying in Plymouth if conditions don't improve. There was a section of the A38 near Dart Bridge that was like crossing a river!

I’d be hoping for any game that we’re 4-0 down to be called off somehow, desperate times & all that.

Just driven through St Budeaux. It’s amazing. There’s cars, buses, people walking about. No houses with their roofs missing. Do you know, it’s almost as if there was no apocalypse going on at all

Driving?
Pah. Snowflake.
Why not walk like the real tough guys?

No bombs, Stukas, Heinkels?
