Especially with the Rhino ball. www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weat ... 1377298800

I bloody hope not. Why does the rhino ball seem to effect us more than anyone?

I don't think I've ever been to Wembley in the rain.

Yellow warnings for London area, torrential rain at times...Water Splash Final, not gunna be pretty from either side

...and how many times have the weathermen got it wrong this year?

Me and Wembley haven't been getting on weather wise recently.

My last three visits-

Wire vs Leeds- lashing it down (never seen rain like it)

Latics v Millwall- lashing it down. Got soaked before the game.

Latics v Man City- lashing it down.

I was hoping for a change of fortunes tomorrow but that doesn't look likely!

I was there for the original "water splash final" Wakefield V Leeds (1968 I think) which became known as the Don Fox final for his missed conversion under the sticks in the last min.

Half an hour before the match I came out of the Green Man Pub in bright weather, then during the match the heavens opened. I have never seen as much water on a pitch in my life, it put so much rain down in a short space of time the pitch just could not drain.

WOW looks liek thunder, lightening and lots of rain

Wigan v Leeds - Rained - Won
Latics v Millwall - Rained - Won
Latics v City - Rained - Won
Latics v Man Utd - Glorious sunshine - Lost

I hope it bounces it down

Did you not see the Catalans v Hull Cup match - although it was due to heat that the ball was wet, but there were a lot of errors

Fair enough, it just seems to me (perhaps wrongly) that every time there's a new ball, it gets blamed for knock-ons. Sort of like how there seems to be some sort of drama over the football world cup football every tornament

To be fair - the fans are only responding to the criticism of the ball from all of the players - they are not happy with it

Just given my teenage son the forcast for tomorrow, his response was 'it's better celebrating in the rain', for once i like his attitude !

your tears are easily hidden in the rain

The Wire v Widnes game was a knockonathon as well

Does anyone know if they are closing the roof ?

the weather will be the same for both sides.

get on with it

They'll have to build one first

They have it closes !!!
Or am I missing something here !

It part closes - covers the seating area, but not the pitch

Ok thanks , did not realise that

Just the posh seats though

Covers mine, so I must be posh! Haha

And to think the stadium cost around 800 million and they couldn't put a roof on it

Good stadium, but not a patch on Millennium Stadium for me
