[Drico]

Welcome to Wimbledon.

 

[Papa Shango]

Like Clive Tyldesely said, don’t think I’ve heard of a game been stopped because of thunder.

It's deffo happened before, Its dangerous. A team got killed due to thunder and lightening in the DRC a few years back.

Here

 

[Martin Alvito]

Oliver has actually got this decision right for a change.

That's because someone at UEFA told him to stop the match.

 

[Papa Shango]

Alexa just said they have to delay for the safety of the players and fans.

Does that mean that the fans are less likely to be hit by lightning if the players aren't on the pitch?

The fans are under cover. Mainly.

Eriksen is probably thinking "pfft! I have had worse".

 

[the golden visionary]

Does this mean I have to put Glastonbury on and watch Coldplay?

Blankety blanks on

Alexa just said they have to delay for the safety of the players and fans.

Does that mean that the fans are less likely to be hit by lightning if the players aren't on the pitch?

Fans near the pitch can be moved further back under the roof or moved into the concourse

 

[Drico]

Imagine this was being played at Old Trafford...

 

[Jamiednm]

Official UEFA communique: “Thunder bolts and lightning very, very frightening”

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Just showed the disallowed goal again. Really? For that?

 

[Street end man]

Fans must all have lightning conductors up their ringpeces then if theyre safe now.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Should be over in 10 minutes according to German weather maps.

 

[Papa Shango]

The women's Euro match that was stopped due to the weather ended 2-1 to Denmark.

Lump on.

 

[Drico]

A good omen this, for Germany.

Frankfurt, 1974: West Germany v. Poland and a man named Müller got the winner after the match was delayed due to a downpour...

 

[matty1878]

Ridiculous, and saying it's for fans safety as well, WTF. World gone mad. New fad incoming here now.

and they’re is them danish fans dancing in it

 

[Papa Shango]

Fans must all have lightning conductors up their ringpeces then if theyre safe now.

Its Germans and Dane's, so its possible...
