JBFC II Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 After a difficult few days it's seriously encouraging to see that Saturday will be our 10th consecutive attendance of over 20k. 4 seasons ago we were scraping over 10k and 13-14k was seen as an impressive crowd, shows the great progress of our club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 If Forecast is right little chance it will be on. Pretty much snow all day today tomorrow and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinMan's left peg Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 BS3 taking a battering right now and supposed to get worse over the next 24 hours. Unfortunately looking like Saturday will be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 1, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I wonder how many roads etc around the ground have to be usable to get the game on? The main roads will be gritted etc and passable due to volume of the traffic, can' bbelieve the radius around the ground would be that big an area. Assume sheff weds will travel first thing tomorrow, as long as the officials can get here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yep, the pitch is heated. The attendance on Saturday looks like being a big fat zero though. They may cancel tomorrow before the Wednesday team travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the majority of Arsenal fans now wish the game was called off! We don’t half panic about the weather in this country though...totally unnecessary! It’s not like we’re in Canada is it?!

CotswoldRed Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Very very little chance of the game being on I reckon. If it is, the actual attendance will be very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Latest forecast on Points West - it’s going to snow all night and then another band is coming in tomorrow afternoon. Chance of game being on now slim to none I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlborough Red Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just seen the forecast. Saturday looks a bit dodgy with a little some snow ...but Sunday much warmer, well above freezing and no snow. Why not rearrange for Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm praying you're wrong because Tuesday night games are hard work from outside BS3. I've been looking forward to Saturday from the minute we surrendered quietly in Cardiff.

Kingswood Robin Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not sure if freezing rain is still on the cards, but if so, that's a really dangerous situation. I think the last time that happened in this area (15-20 years ago), we called a game off, even though the pitch was probably just about playable. I remember the paths/roads being covered in a sheet of ice about 2 inches thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I work 2 mins from the gate and live 4 miles away and to be frank - South Bristol is firked !! 3 inches to 7/8 with drifts on all roads and I mean all - don’t know what the council are doing but main roads are covered. Even small slopes in the area have tracks where cars have slipped back down etc. - my car is on the road as could not get up on to my drive !! In short with more snow forecast - madness if this game is on. I am a supremely confident driver and have driven accident free for 3 decades but I was out locally last night and it was frightening stuff - putting this game on will put fans safety at risk. edit - outside my house - the road is there somewhere !! :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
