Trouble is, we won't know as physical attendance isn't published. I have just been for a drive from Long Ashton to BS3, no snow apart from some slushy stuff getting out of my road which wasn't a problem.. No ice, no snow on main roads, I do not understand the police 'don't drive unless necessary' warning. It may be bad where you are, but in and around Bristol it seems fine.

BS3 wasn’t anywhere near as bad as further out parts of BS region and that’s the point I guess. A lot of people probably haven’t seen how bad it is further out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick jones of hereford Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can’t even get off my drive with 2 foot of snow in parts. Despite living on what is normally a busy road, only 4x4s and emergency vehicles are using it. last night I received a message that Ashton Park School wasn’t available due to the weather, that’s despite my paying £160 for an annual parking season ticket. No way will I even attempt to get to the ground, I wonder whether the club has decided that with Sheff Wed playing midweek they might have less energy, plus they aren’t on form (....same as us then). Its a shame to not to be able to sit in my usual seat.... but if we win then I won’t be so upset. I do feel that if the club felt that there was an advantage in calling the game off, that would have happened. Presumably they feel we can maximise the chances of those points..... a case of small margins and all that Enjoy the match those who are going.... but please, pretty please City, I want 3 points today.

Flip side to that, those where its bad may not realise its that much better in around the stadium and on main roads. Seen a lot of people complaining online (facebook, twitter etc) about the game being on just because its bad where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the greatest of respects PB, the vast majority of attendees are going to be coming from within a reasonable distance of the stadium and surely those have to be the primary consideration. I’m 10 miles from BS3 and here the sun is out, roads completely clear, very wet and no ice to be found. Buses running well. Are conditions 50 miles from the stadium a valid reason to call the game off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
