I haven't been to Southampton since it's started, how bad is it? edit - never mind the roads, if the neighbouring site is burning down then I'll leave it. On the positive side, chances are we get KWP and Fraser back for the rearranged match. Edited March 6 by Ted Bates Statue 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently nearby and there's still a shed load of smoke blowing towards the city centre.

Chewy Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I just drove into the office in town and the smoke cloud is over Cumberland square/Bedford place. on that basis it’s a bl00dy big fire and will take hours to bring under enough control for anyone to declare it’s safe. May as well officially cancel now because we won’t be playing this evening imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion I cannot see the fire being brought under control within the next couple of hours. At the moment it must be unsafe for the fire service to enter the building. At the very least the whole Chapel car park will be closed for some time. Even Saturday’s game could be doubtful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I’m out of the country for a couple of weeks after Saturday so I only hope that I can go to the rearranged fixture. There goes our three week break I suppose. Let’s hope that nobody has been hurt in this fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the calendar the only space for the game is a midweek at the end of April, unless they change it to next Tuesday/Wednesday. They've got to fit the Leicester game in too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can schedule that game for 12.30, and then Preston can drive up to ours for 8pm kick off. Sounds good to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 My friend who lives across the river and first mentioned it to me says there have been no flames visible for 10 minutes but loads of smoke. With the danger of reignition as well as the smoke there will be loads of appliances and road closures, and can't see it being on so won't be doing my normal mooch into Southampton early, whether by train or car.

Soton7 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I don’t think the game goes ahead today regardless. Elf and Safety- can’t allow 30k inhaling the fumes/ smoke and it’ll take a couple of days for them to dampen down the fire to ensure it doesn’t reignite. Hopefully a decision will be made soon which allows enough time for all fans to plan ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsFan86 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This game isn't going ahead, Not in a million years. Health and safety for Fans and players/Staff will be forefront. Least it's one more game where KWP and Fraser will be available for. March and April are going to be nuts with 2 games to rearrange though.

Channons Windmill Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If they cancel the game won’t that be unfair that we only play 45 games when the others play 46? Surely postponing is more equitable? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
