Could Tottenham vs Newcastle be postponed? Met Office issue weather warning
Tottenham’s weekend Premier League fixture against Newcastle United hangs in the balance as a weather warning from the Met Office threatens disruption. So, could Tottenham vs Newcastle be postponed?
A pivotal fixture in challenging times
Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for their Saturday fixture, with the 2024/25 season progressing past its halfway mark.
This match marks the beginning of gameweek 20, a critical juncture in the campaign, as Ange Postecoglou’s side looks to regain momentum amidst a turbulent period.
Currently, Tottenham find themselves outside the Premier League’s top half, struggling to find consistent form. In recent months, the team has lost more games than they have won, which is in stark contrast to their earlier aspirations.
The arrival of Newcastle United, a team in scintillating form under Eddie Howe, only adds to the complexity of the task at hand.
However, recent reports from the Met Office, suggest that the game against the Magpies is at risk of being called off.
Could Tottenham vs Newcastle be postponed?
The weekend clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United could face an unprecedented halt as a result of a significant weather update issued by the Met Office.
As of now, a yellow warning for snow has been issued for Saturday, spanning various regions across the UK.
While the southern areas are predicted to experience milder effects, London, home to Tottenham’s stadium, remains included within the alert.
With icy conditions anticipated in surrounding areas, the decision to proceed with the game may ultimately hinge on the extent of the weather’s impact on public safety and transport networks.
A precedent worth considering
Adverse weather conditions have disrupted fixtures in the Premier League before. Earlier this season, the Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton at Goodison Park was postponed due to the severe impact of Storm Darragh.
Tottenham themselves also experienced this in the past when their fixture against Burnley was called off due to a sudden and heavy snowfall, leading to logistical and safety concerns.
Despite the sophisticated infrastructure of English football stadiums, the safety of fans often takes precedence, as it rightly should.
The yellow warning for snow may not yet guarantee a postponement, but it remains a situation that fans and officials must watch closely
