Lanterne Rouge Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well, I for one will be heeding the advice issued by the authorities and will ensure I have a torch, shovel, warm blankets, sleeping bag, water, food, first aid kit and emergency beacon when I leave the house tomorrow. Gonna look a proper dick on the bus mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM it's minus 11 and will go down to minus 20 overnight and nothing stops. My wife was in Moscow last week and it was minus 41. needless to say she was glad to get back to Tallinn. After watching Points West tonight, and the expected snow and freezing rain in the Bristol area. I think there is a real possibility of the game being called off.

BcfcDuncs Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 21 hours ago, Alan Dicks' Barmy Army said: 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 Hardley dramatic when there is a red weather warning for Somerset. Slim chance the game being on . But still hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon, Somerset and Wales last I heard. When they say it's the first ever Red Warning issued by the Met. Office for the South West it shouldn't be taken too seriously, I'm pretty sure these warnings have only existed for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 We really need to play this game whilst Wednesday have injuries and will be tired from midweek, but the weather and forecasts are not looking promising. Wednesday fans will need to leave reasonably early on Saturday, so I expect a decision will be made around 9am on Saturday morning. Pitch will be fine. Not so sure about ice in the stands or if the surrounding roads will be deemed OK. Looking 50/50 at the moment I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Sorry to be the voice of doom but there is not a cat in hells chance of the game being on. With 2 days of extreme weather predicted for our area it is not a realistic possibility for snow ice etc to thaw overnight on Friday and be back to normal for a Saturday kick off. The authorities would just not take the chance -freezing rain is even being bandied about for Saturday on some reports. Only ever encountered that once and fell over from my front door to the street it is extremely dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also the matter of whether A&S will want to commit resources to policing a football match when Somerset is set to be hit by heavy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had freezing rain the day of the Bristol derby, must have been early 90’s, you couldn’t actually see the ice until you walked on it and fell over!

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. Wednesday played at Swansea on Tuesday night,I would have thought with the weather as it is, they would have stayed down till Saturday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
