Southend on Friday night

I've just got in from cycling round the wolds.  Yes it's windy but I'm sure everything get blown out of proportion in this country compared to other parts of the world where they really do get adverse weather conditions.

No fornicator makes anyone go…did I moan when Plymouth got called off the other year as I pulled in to the car park? No, I realised the stand was bollocksed and just realised that sadly the club didn’t have a choice…

Some whiny illegitimates about…

Im fking fuming at the moment. Weve turned around near Bedford on A1, why couldnt Southend see sense and cancel the game much earlier.. Im more peed off with myself for making the journey, or trying to, but what price do u put on supporting your Club. Blowing really hard here, so i should of known Roots hall ground would of succumbed to the weather, a lesson learnt, shame they couldnt of re-arranged the game for saturday, would of got hotel, but hey ho.

The roof of the West Stand didn't become seriously damaged until this afternoon and, at that point it was obvious that the game couldn't take place without endangering supporters. Until that point the Stands were intact and the pitch perfectly playable. I get that it's really disappointing, especially when supporters have already travelled, I've had it happen to me many times, including aways at Grimsby, it's the lot of fans at times. but it's better to safe rather than sorry after the event. Tickets will be valid for the re-arranged game.

In fairness, Roots Hall has had sheets of its roof torn off by the wind. Daylight where there shouldn’t be. Have a look at the state of the O2 Arena when you get a moment. I think the north has escaped the worst of this one, but it’s been pretty rough down south.

Some Yellow cards need flashing before the Red one appears.

Safe journey back B&W Army.

Weather can be different in different parts of the world eh? Interesting…

Well that was the most flipping predictable outcome FFS.

This sort of thing continues to go on and it's about time it stopped. No thought for fans. About time those in control realised you don't keep mugging off those who keep their business going.

Without fans there is no professional game. It becomes a Sunday  League kickabout.

I get trying to get games on. But that part of the country is in red weather warning area. They aren't that common in this country. Potential loss of life.

Govt advice not to make unnecessary travel. Large parts of public transport shut down. Traffic chaos and widespread disruption.

The game had been in doubt for a few days. The forecast was known. At no point do i believe the chances of getting the game on were anywhere near even 50/50.

It's not like they would have been confident then a late change to the weather buggered things up. All this was flipping predicted.

No don't give a f**k about fans. Game should have been called off yesterday at the latest.

Rotherham V Wigan still going ahead of desperate to go to a game tonight

My garage has just been blown out of proportion. I’d say it’s pretty adverse conditions out there but I daren’t start an argument with someone who has been cycling in it.

Tell that to the family of the three (so far) that have died
