Soccer-Fans warned to bring poncho as Wanderers match goes ahead

SYDNEY, April 21 (Reuters) - Western Sydney Wanderers have said their crunch Asian Champions League match against Japan's Kashima Antlers will go ahead on Tuesday despite the gale force winds and heavy rain battering the city.

The New South Wales government has advised workers in Sydney to head home early on Tuesday before the storm, which has flooded coastal areas and brought down trees and power lines across the city, worsens.

The reigning Asian champions are scheduled to take on Kashima in a Group H match at Parramatta Stadium and fans have been given fair warning that conditions will not be ideal for watching football.
