game might be called off

[macavity]

EAS is under 1m + of water at the moment, and conditions are supposed to worsen.

most of inner-city Newcastle is badly flooded.

Panthers vs Souths game was almost called off tonight apparently, Telstra is a swamp and the crowd is around the 1,500 mark apparently.

i can't see any lower grade games happening - even if it stopped raining now.

Who's gonna tell the deaf people? :lol:

 

[Stranger]

:lol:!!!

when was the last time a FG match was called off?

 

[macavity]

tbh im more worried about the massive property damage and potential for loss of life atm

i cant believe how bad it is - this is quite scary.

have a look at this map.

the red, and most of the pink areas are under 1m+ of water.

I wonder how dry it is up the valley - or should i say how wet it is.

Cessnock could have a game on tomorrow.

 

[macavity]

oh, and its not a laughing matter.

The bay is as dismal as down here. I've been up there today and there are whole fields in Williamtown, Bobs Farm and Salamanda that are now lakes!

What about Gossy?

I went down to tuggarah today - there were rivers of water a foot deep running over the F3

 

[Gene Krupa]

What happens if the game IS called off? Does anyone know if they'll re-schedual it?

 

[tiger_jack]

They would have to re-schedule the game, but I think if worse comes to worse there will probaly be no JF, PL and Deaf match on

 

[Gene Krupa]

They won't be playing if it's still under 1m of water! :lol:

 

[Frederick]

There's no way this game will be played. Not with the area having just been declared a natural disaster zone.

 

[Pumba]

When would they re-schedule it for??

 

[Stranger]

Just give each team 1 point. Sounds fair. :|
