Former Champ Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Pissy! We have had more rain in Alberta this year that the last 10 years combined, I think. Which is actually a good thing, but not for the commonwealth pitch. I'v heard it's pretty chewed up from CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they have a full six days to repair any wear and tear that m,ay have been caused by the Esks game yesterday, so I'm confident we'll see a beautiful pitch come Saturday night.

I went up the April before last and there was still over 3 feet of snow. We got snow in Calgary in July a couple years back. The U-19 Final was even a cold windy one and I almost froze. Bring a heavier coat than you think you'll need. I'm just sad because my rain gear makes mt but look gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the stadium will be 3/4 empty, what kind of sight is that for television? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Champ Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I remember watching the WT&F Championships from Europe (as it was on 24 hour a day where I was) and even 3/4 empty, that's a beautiful stadium (screw you Battle of Alberta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reza Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 yeah..especially in September, you never know what you get...Last September Labour day, it was 30+..this time, seems like a pretty cool rainy weekend which is just fine... I also checked San Jose's weather for the Tico match and it appears that they are into their rainy season as well..hot and seemingly quite rainy down there at the moment.

Reza Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Speaking of changes, the forecast has now changed...it will be a mx of 20 and a min of 4 and mainly sunny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croat Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What time will the game be at? A high of 20C and a low of 4C is quite drastic. If the game is played in the evening the temperature might only be 10C or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilloco Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 This change in forcast was reported in the Honduran newspapers and has calmed some worries about the cold weather affecting the players. The Team doctor told the papers that it didnt matter, that they have prepared for the cold weather anyway but if its hotter then it will be like playing at home. In any case I dont think this would have affected the team like it did back in 86. Most of the starting players are playing in Europe where the temperature is not always that hot and the ones who play in South America specially in Uruguay are used to the colder weather. The problem is only with the central defence and goalie who play in Honduras, but then again the teperature will not affect them either, cause they suck in any weather !!!

Former Champ Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 If it's a high of 20 that means it will still be close to that until the sun starts to set during gametime. It'll be pretty frosty by the time we are heading home, er I mean to the bar. (although I lived there 20 years ago so the weather has changed quite a bit). Hopefully it'll be a nice day, and we get a good walk-up. We have a saying around these parts. 'Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Latest: After a few days of wet weather, it is supposed to get a little cooler and drier for the long weekend, on Saturday high of 17 and low of 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reza Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well, the forecast has now changed to a high of 22 and a low of 5 with scattered showers ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croat Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Its an evening game, so the game time temperature wont even be close to 22C, the low of 5C is definitely in our favour. So its gonna be cool especially towards the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Plus the scattered showers should put a bit of chill into those Latino bones, especially if we have a bit of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Approximately 26.5 C. To go from C to F (correctly) it's multiply by 1.8 and add 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
