CotswoldRed Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Personally, as much as I want the game to be on, and the pitch will be fine, it will depend on the roads around. What are Winterstoke, Ashton, Duckmoor, North St like, and the immediate roads adjoining them like? And the pavements? The weather doesn’t look mild enough to see any significant thaw, even if we don’t have any / much more snow. I can’t see it being on, but i’m In Downend. Nipper has a powered wheelchair that will tackle pretty much any snow conditions, but I'd not be best pleased pushing a wheelchair tomorrow!

Getting to the AG Car Park will be the issue tomorrow. Once there it will be fine. Hot water bottle for Joe under his blanket(s), and spare flask of water too.

RedM Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Add into the fact that I doubt if many local residents will venture out tomorrow so side roads will be clogged up more than usual, and many are narrow and hilly it will be a nightmare driving and parking. I doubt if the police really want 20,000 people on the roads in the area, never mind hundreds travelling from Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're Wednesday fans btw. From what I've read on these boards and in the news it looks like you've had a bit of snow, but the pitch is playable. My take on the situation is that its the roads and paths around the stadium that are most likely to cause the game to be cancelled. Surely we can do something about this to ensure the game goes ahead. I'm happy to muck in and start clearing the snow tomorrow morning. Surely it only needs a few hundred volunteers and we can get a game. What do we think? I'll go as far to say driving down here for a football match that wont be on, with a 3 year old....is negligent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrogateOwl Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 We aren't driving, but negligent, seriously? What have we become. Games on or off, lifes about adventures.

I'm guessing the club just can't come out and say 'we've decided to call it off'. Well, i guessed that.. but by BCFC I really meant all concerned. Let's face it, it's not going to happen. So let's get on with it. I'm lucky, i can walk to the ground and do walk. Others come from miles away , as you know, and i think it's fair that we know now tbh.

Much depends on how much more snow we get. City will have to give Sheffield Wednesday plenty of notice if the game is postponed - possibly today. Will we have to give them notice in whiting?

Sweeneys Penalties Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm still recovering from the possibility that someone is going to plonk a 3 year old down in these temperatures to watch City. Not heart warming stuff recently. Someone is bound to call the NSPCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched pics of bellends stuck on the A303 countless times today and couldnt help but mutter what top grade prats they were. Police and Highways say... "dont travel unless absolutely necessary"... somehow translated into "they advised us to go on a sightseeing trip" and then blamed the emergency services for not getting to the scene quickly enough... when it was their own bloody vehicles blocking the road in the first place.

Some people have an Honours Degree in being a clown Some of the stories she told me of why people were travelling absolutely astounds me. Three guys were travelling to a darts tournament!! They were driving to Bridgewater....and got stuck. They phoned the police who attended and helped them, and advised them to turn round and head back. They ignored it...carried on...and got stuck again. Twice the police had to attend! Absolute ***** Ita not going to get much above 2 degrees before the game tomorrow. So there will be no real thaw out. Fingers crossed no one hurts themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile- let's all brand a SW supporter who's coming down to Bristol with his daughter (and not by car) as being negligent. You really do see the world from a glass half empty stance, Andy- not one person was suggesting that anyone should drive in hazardous conditions although I'm sure Lee would have to answer for this if they did.

Wrongagain Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yesterday told the Mrs that I would get her to work for 6am this morning hoping that the prediction of freezing rain did not happen (really rare in U.K.) sure enough got up at 5, walked to the LR only to find I could not get in it. Covered in ice, ground not covered in snow also just ice. The most dangerous road situation there is. Needless to say she did not get to work, tomorrow weathermen are also predicting freezing rain - bristol City know better, the match is on!
