whether the weather be kind?

Hmm... I've been niggling away at the thought of a day trip tomorrow for what should be a cracking game. But I've just seen the weather forecast and heard that the sailing to Liverpool tomorrow has already been cancelled with "severe gales" moving in Ah well, Morecambe Player it is then.

For anyone travelling any distance tomorrow (including Shrewsbury fans) I'd set off a little earlier and drive a little slower, you are likely to meet some heavy rain with those high winds, so take care.

There is a moderate risk of severe weather affecting parts of southern Scotland and northeast England along with parts of Cumbria on Saturday. Westerly winds will gust 50-60 mph at times with gusts to 70 mph possible.

That doesn't sound too bad...
Shipping Forecast

Lundy Fastnet Irish Sea Shannon:
West or southwest, veering northwest later in Shannon, 5 to 7, occasionally 4 at first, occasionally gale 8 in Irish Sea, perhaps gale 8 later in Lundy and Fastnet. Slight or moderate, becoming moderate or rough, occasionally very rough later in Shannon. Rain or showers. Good, occasionally poor.

Hmm, gale force 8 would be uncomfortable at best, stranded with a ferry not sailing at worst.
