Will they call Derby off? (9am - match ON, though concerns about later rain expected)

rananegra

drizzle in Lewisham. Can't see it being called off

oohaahmortimer

would golfing water proofs be appropriate today or not ?

Redmidland

Just been pitchside and the rain is abating a bit. Hasn't got over light drizzle yet, which bodes well.

The #cafc volunteers are also out there doing a valiant job with their pitchforks alongside the groundstaff

I'd play safe and go for the full metal helmet 1900's diving outfit.

good shout clem , what with the potential for the thames barrier to not work , you can never be too safe

Dry and sunny in Essex. Well, dry.

Looking at the radar at the moment and the leading edge is close to the valley now but the first bit of rain is not very hard and there are gaps in the showers, but the main band of rain is right behind it and looks much heavier and more persistent. Hard to work out when it will reach the ground knowing our luck halfway through the game when we are actually winning and it will be abandoned.

I'm at The Valley it's just drizzling . Game on

It's only rain, not an apocolypse so we don't believe you!

I'm on my way, which means it's nailed on to be called off.

It might be raining in Norwich. It might not. I don't know because I've decided to stay in bed and not risk driving to Charlton only to have to come all the way back again.

Its not raining here in Dereham but decided not to risk the journey to the Valley, although I wish I had, Mrs wants me to go shopping.
