I was going to travel down with a friend but don't want to risk a postponement. I've also had some horrible journeys down to the London area this season for Town and Brentford games.

I remember getting stuck in traffic behind an overturned lorry going to Cambridge in the FA Trophy in 2014. We got in the ground at 320pm. I think the Town supporters coach made the last fifteen minutes of the game.

Four days later the car I was in was wrecked after being hit by a lorry doing 60mph. That was coming back from a midweek game at Barnet. I think we used a few lives up that day so I'll give it a miss!

If this is accurate, then Southend will escape the worst of the winds until after the game.

An hour north of Southend here.. the winds are mental. Definitely gusts of the reported 70mph. Safety aside.. you couldn't even attempt to play football in this at present. Expected to drop to 40mph by teatime. If you travel, and the game's still on.. don't expect a classic..

The biggest threat to the match is a bit of the Millemmium Dome flying past and damaging a stand or floodlight.

IF the game does go ahead, I can see this being our lowest away following this season, or quite a few seasons even as a lot of regulars won't be going due to the traveling conditions and possibility of a late postponement.

I think aside from being worried about traveling to the game, if you’ve got a ticket I’d suggest that your biggest worry tonight should be what a shite game the conditions are likely to make it.

Crocombe could be a good shout for first goalscorer as long as we kick with the wind first half. No chance of anyone kicking the ball forward against this wind at present..

All trains cancelled round me, very frustrating after booking off work and looking forward to it all week. If it does go ahead, will be cheering them on from afar. UTM

Also if we kick against the wind first half, with our luck it will blow back over his head
