There was, but to be fair it was the correct decision....I was literally soaked to the skin walking to the stadium, relentless downpour that just wouldn’t stop, the ball wouldn’t have rolled at all on that pitch...

Not seen anything like it before or since. Surely there's one more recent. Remember sliding all the way down hazelbury road and coming to a stop, parallel to the curb outside the Imperial Ground. Couldn’t have "parked" my car better had I tried....except I was on double yellows! God knows why I decided to take a back road, down a hill?

BcfcDuncs Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Still looking bad or if not worse now for thursday/Friday. If it comes off I think the game will be in real doubt I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes off I think the game will be in real doubt I'm guessing Yes, it’s not usually the pitches that get matches called off, lower league and Gas apart, but the surrounding areas. I know in December a gig was called off in Brum when they had the snow, just hours before it was due to start. The group were there and had set up, some fans were there but as the police advised not to travel in the area unless necessary the whole thing was cancelled.

Not sure of the match may have been Cardiff ( about 15 years ago) but pretty sure it was an early kickoff , the previous nights temperature was -6c and the pitch had been covered. Parking up in Duckmoor Road only to find out on the radio that the match was postponed.

Alan Dicks' Barmy Army Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Why do people get so dramatic about the weather? The headlines in the news etc are laughable this week At present nothing has hit the Bristol area, places around it have had snow and life is carrying on. The roads will get gritted and cleared, the pitch will be ok The only problem is if the stands become slippery, it is hardly an armageddon scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'd say the game is 50/50 at the moment based on this latest update. High impact / high likelihood. I guess it will depend on how quickly the situation improves once it stops snowing. (Not being dramatic, just passing info on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcfcDuncs Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 It will be hit tomorrow. Of course pitch will be fine . But with potentially two days of snow and freezing conditions the snow won't go away for few days . Surrounding area will be a concern for fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just thinking do they need to make a call in respect of travelling supporters being affected and when is that decision likely be made? not sure what comes into consideration.

ScottishRed Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Given the opposition I would imagine there would be an inspection Friday lunchtime IF there was any risk to the game. If the weather does what is currently forecast it is likely that the surrounding areas of the ground will be a concern, I would imagine the USH will be on and would be able to cope with everything bar extreme snow.

Major Isewater Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 It would be just typical for the match to be called off and rearranged at a time when the Wendys have their walking wounded back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I imagine the Wednesday team will travel on Friday as we would if we were playing up there so I don`t think there will be a decision before they do. The authorities won`t want their fans travelling unnecessarily (I imagine they will bring their normal sizeable following) though so we ought to hear something earlyish on Saturday morning if there`s any doubt.
