Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Brighton is going to get battered tomorrow by Storm Eunice with winds up to 70 mph and again on Saturday when the winds are forecast to reach up to 50 mph during the match.
Expect massive disruption to rail travel especially, and maybe roads as well as there will be trees down all over the place.
I can see a possible postponement in the offing especially as this ground is very reliant on public transport for access.

They won't care about the fans. The games need to go ahead now. If it's playable, it will be.
Good luck to all travelling fans though!

Rail travel won't be disrupted by Eunice. Rail from London to Brighton is being shut down, starting Saturday for a week of engineering works. Rail replacement buses to operate from Three Bridges all the way to Brighton, similarly, Lewes.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 10:48 pmBrighton is going to get battered tomorrow by Storm Eunice with winds up to 70 mph and again on Saturday when the winds are forecast to reach up to 50 mph during the match.

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Last time there were heavy storms in the south when we were playing I think we won at Southampton with Vyds scoring a stunner …. maybe it’s an omen ?
Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
I think it is still classified as a storm.

If it is postponed for the weather Burnley will still get blamed for it. Dirty northerners bringing their crap weather down.
Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Does anyone know the last time we had a game postponed due to high winds?

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
In Bournemouth, it’s a little breezy and the sun is out. The papers were saying that the Bristol Channel would be ‘destroyed’ and that this will be the worst storm for thirty years. Okay, so there’s still forty minutes until the peak but I hardly think that this warrants all the schools being closed and people being told not to leave their homes.

The storm has definitely arrived just outside Salisbury. We're heading towards Brighton later today. Hopefully it'll calm down this afternoon.

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
The Met office site Brighton has winds of approx 30 mph tomorrow with “ chance of gusts to 40-42” . Quite where 70mph has come from is anyones guess . Let’s hope it’s more or less blown out by KO .

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
As has been said above, the worst of it is this afternoon and it calms down a lot overnight. Tomorrow it picks up again after lunch with gusts approaching 50mph at kick off.AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:19 amThe Met office site Brighton has winds of approx 30 mph tomorrow with “ chance of gusts to 40-42” .

I live a couple of miles from the AMEX. It's a strong wind ! Forecast is that it will lessen by tonight / overnight. No issues forecasted tomorrow that I'm aware of.

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
It has been quite gusty in Bournemouth over the last hour or so, I must admit, but it’s dying down now. I still think that that the closure of schools, etc. was ridiculous.
Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Hi Dark Cloud,
It was Wimbledon but I think it might have been 2004. We ended up winning the rearranged match 2-0. It was when I first started using CM (18 years ago, oh dear).

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
I’d assume the usual team coach isn’t an option as when the team are flying/catching the train the team coach travels down with all the kit and to collect them on their arrival to take to the team hotel so that would have already set off

Seven comments from BHA fans that we should have travelled down yesterday and this could be a ploy by us to get the game postponed

This is live feed and commentary from Heathrow and it's oddly fascinating watching the planes landing, or trying to land.

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
The day Burnley had a match postponed for wind (a steward was almost blown off the Longside Upper onto the Longside lower) was the day Colne played Sudbury in the FA Vase semi final. The game at Holt House was interesting, to say the least, especially with the wind blowing down the hill. One keeper caught his own goal kick (he was allowed to take it again).

In Newhaven now and the waves are towering over the lighthouse on the harbour bar. I'd post a picture but Mrs Appleton says I'll have my phone whipped out of my hands.
Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Anyone know if the stands at the Amex make any attempt to protect fans from the rain? Or were they built in the same style as the Jimmy Mac and new Longside?

Re: Storm Eunice re Brighton match
Bournemouth’s game tonight is still on at the moment. If that goes ahead but ours gets called off when things aren't meant to be as bad tomorrow then that would be very annoying.
