Numerous people on this thread have said they won’t be coming. Ill be amazed if there are more than about 12,000 in the ground if the game kicks off tomorrow. If I was being cynical, I think maybe the club are balancing that against the opportunity for three points against a team with even worse form than us, and a load out injured?

That creates a financial incentive to attend and means the club have a responsibility to its paying customers to host the event at an appropriate time, that the pub doesn’t. By your theory the club could decide to hold the game on a Wednesday lunchtime irrespective of whether anyone could actually go during working hours. If the club offers to refund all those who don’t come, that changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsham Ed Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 The club have made the decision for me this afternoon by informing me that Ashton Park School where I park will not be open tomorrow, and no alternative parking can be offered. I'll be sat at home by the log fire following on Sky Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM88 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 seems like they haven’t even cleared the car park, therefore seems unlikely that surrounding roads/pavements will be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting that info from? From OS: PARKING & TRAVEL Abus will NOT be operating on the day of the game, due to the weather. First Bus are due to make an announcement at 7pm, which will affect whether the AG1, AG2 and AG4 First Bus routes will be operating. Wickes Car Park - Open as usual, be extra vigilant due to icy conditions. Midas Car Park - To be confirmed. Avonline Car Park - Open as usual, be extra vigilant due to icy conditions. Pattersons - Open, subject to weather overnight. Ashton Park School - Closed. Supporters will need to find alternative parking for this one match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I shall go to work , come home have some dinner , then take the kids out with their sledges, then sit in the warm watching Jeff stelling , and the few results come in , we have season tickets but if it’s not safe for busses , police advice not to travel , I’m not risking my kids safety by driving in icy conditions.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Having read all of @JulieH`s contributions to this thread and doing some reading between the lines I believe I can work out what she thinks the decision whether to go ahead or not should be. However, these things are obviously decided well above her pay grade. Personally, I don`t have a hope in hell of even getting out of my village let alone get to Bristol so it`s a moot point for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We argue that Sheffield should have set off in good time knowing of the travel difficulties. Then we claim the 3-0 win as they had failed to make it.

I do appreciate that a lot of others see it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
