Ben4BCFC Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Absolute long shot, but wondering if anyone is leaving Bristol last minute on Tuesday for the Shrewsbury game? Really fancy it but can’t get work off so would just need to shift hours to earlier & jump in a car with someone. Obviously would cover petrol money. Any leaving may be too early anyway, but thought I’d throw it out there in case something suits. ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Be interesting to know when it would get played if it did get called off. Probably next Tuesday / Wed, but would that be sufficient time to organise a home game (for either side) v Liverpool that weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what would happen here but I THINK, and I have no idea where this has come from to be honest, if we played the following week the 4th Round fixture would be moved to the replay date for that round.

Bit lucky to be ahead at half time, us I mean and Shrewsbury certainly looked better 2nd half. Hopefully this win Saturday will be a starting point. We can gradually build with a big showcase tie the reward for the winners. Important game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading would need to know what`s happening (assuming they don`t beat Blackpool in their replay). Tickets haven`t even gone on sale for the league game yet so they`re going to need more than three days for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not sure Liverpool would want it rearranged. Start of Feb they are on the 2 week Premier League winter break 1st to 15th Feb so I’m presuming they will have arranged training etc.already and wouldn’t want to play.

Probably next Tuesday / Wed, but would that be sufficient time to organise a home game (for either side) v Liverpool that weekend? Could it be played 24 hours later? The weather forecast for Wednesday looks a lot better than for Tuesday. Clearly it would hugely inconvenience our fans if it was pushed back by 24 hours at relatively short notice (eg late on Tuesday afternoon) and Shrewsbury might also not be able to get the game on 24 hours later given the need for a certain number of stewards (who might not all be able to work on Wednesday at short notice), unless it’s played behind closed doors. Pushing it back to Tuesday 21st wouldn’t give much time for Liverpool, potentially Reading, and either City or Shrewsbury to sell tickets for the game(s) on the 25th / 26th, although I’m sure it could be done.

Think the basic formula is one steward per 250 fans. Unsure how that breaks down or pans out from there, or is still for 2020 but I read it online. Does it include eg fire or carpark stewards? Who knows. Very rare for a game to be called off due to lack of available stewards but it must have happened at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
