It wouldn't surprise me if we lose a huge chunk of fixtures this weekend - including Premiership games.

Who would be at risk, in your opinion?

Just seen weather forecast and it dosen't appear that it will be too heavy(except on high ground) so I would expect most grounds to cope. North of Birmingham should deffo be OK (unless they have shite drainage) - although any ground prone to waterlogging in the London area may be hit.

I concur! From the BBC website, from around midnight tonight, the band of rain you see in the image stays pretty much there throughout Saturday, on and off. It would certainly seem that midlands, London and south clubs could be at risk.

Edit: It seems that although earlier in the week they were forecasting a lot of rain today (Friday), that doesn't seem to be the case now. We should charge for this information pottster :)
