Talking of weather but getting back on topic, I'm not sure if tonight's Championship game between Stoke and Coventry will be able to be completed.
You can hardly see the opposite side of the field.

As long as the players and the referee can see isnt that all that matters? I hope its not delayed because of TV.

I wouldn't know the daily records tbh. I'm not sure anyone but the Met Office has the data, and they don't release the weather station data on their website.

Of course, and that's what they will have to decide on. Whether they can see each sideline or not.

I think it is a state secret, yes.

I guess it is because most records are kept by hand, and they don't feel it is worth it to input the figures into a public database.

Would the BBC have the records? The UK also has harsh laws on state material. Its to be sealed for 75 years. Its annoying that important UK records from WWII are still held to be top secret.

Soldier Field seems to attract bad weather to its games.
Remember the 50mph wind gusts against the Giants last year?

Btw, if you throw for 407 yards and still score no touchdowns, I'm surprised the Philly fans let you back into the city afterwards.

I had the wrong sport didn't I?
I had San Francisco, but therefore I obviously meant the 49ers against the Bears last year.

San Fran is windy but Chicago is the Windy City.

I got to see a day game at the old Candlestick Park and it was the windiest I have ever seen. They had to have swinging theater doors seperating the firld from the concourses to break the wind.

Don't you remember it from last year? It was at Soldier Field, but I said it was against the Giants, but what I meant was it was against the 49ers because it was against San Francisco. So I mixed up the MLB and NFL franchise names.

Ohh..I see. Im a bit slow on the uptake. I blame the heat. Did they finish the Coventry match?

Well they will do, but there are still another ten minutes left to play.

Do you enjoy watching the lower league matches more than the EPL?

Not really fussed either way to be honest. I'm not watching this one really either, as it's just not a very good quality game.

They should market the game in the USA as the 'Real Monday Night Football'.

Okay, I'm going to sign off the computer now.
Hope it cools down for you soon.

Night.
