At only 8 inches tall you must be the shortest person on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no objections from the police the ultimate decisions rests with the club. The police can’t force a club to play a match it doesn’t want to play. As said its pretty obvious we want to play, don't want to wait a few weeks for Wednesday's injury crisis to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the trains to/from Weston & BTM have been cancelled for the rest of the day, and no buses are running either. It's all fine and well saying that the surrounding areas of the ground are OK, but you'd think it's ill-advised to tell people to park further away from the ground & walk in these conditions. for me - i doubt the trains & buses will be back to decent running service, it's still gonna be -2 all day, and people aren't gonna risk driving....all points to a poor attendance/atmosphere full of people waiting to go home and be warm again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesleywalksoncider Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Can't believe they are going ahead with the game. Main roads may be fine but side roads are a complete mess. If it is on tomorrow I might walk but don't fancy taking the car, parking could be a nightmare. I hope the club don't make a big mistake and end up panicking and calling it off at the last minute.

I will only be taking Joe if the roads are ok, and it’s significantly warmer tomorrow. Much as I would go on my own, I don’t see the point in risking it.

Didn't even think of those with wheelchairs etc either mate - I wouldn't even contemplate it if I was you! Such a strange decision for them to say it's 100% on, when there's still about 7 hours of heavy snow forecast, and it's all just going to freeze over again overnight as well... As well as that - the players aren't exactly going to be up for it...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Another ‘**** the fans’ decision by the club and I don’t mean just the city ones! Can this club get anything right at the moment? Take the decision away from the police and just call the game off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why they couldn’t put out a holding position, e.g. "we are hopeful that the game will go ahead, and if the forecast is correct, we will do our best to keep it on. However we really need to wait until the morning to see the status of roads around the ground, blah, blah, blah", Sheffield Wednesday have travelled down, so that’s, ok, etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aware, they have around 12 injuries though. We saw what happened with Preston though when they started getting players back, horrendous losing streak, only had to get 1 or 2 key players back and went on a good run.

Chappers Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I must admit that this is absolutely stupid, and shows total contempt for the fans. I've just walked to my local shop and it's absolutely treacherous, and I certainly would not want to drive. I wouldn't mind if the club even acknowledged the problems many of us will face, but it's like they live in a bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinMan's left peg Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I’m surprised at this decision but assuming they’ve gone for the Arsenal option - accepting it’ll be half empty but at least we get the match done and off the fixture list. Not really fair on the fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogursey red Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 i find it very poor from the club, going ahead with this game as so many city fans dont live in Bristol,i am snowed in in west somerset at the moment, cant see many being there tomorrow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I shan't be bothering. 75 mile round trip in less than ideal conditions. Sure, the motorway will be fine, but everywhere else? No hope of much of a thaw with the temperatures forecast either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
