Super Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Someone has said that the covers must be removed three hours before KO time. Is that true? Does anyone really know? Can someone from the club be ar$ed to answer? Its a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 The sky towards clevedon was looking a bit brighter a minute ago. Bottom of my back garden has been flooded for two weeks now. Got absolutely drenched on boxing day, still trying to dry out. Just on my way in now so keeping the fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Kevin Smith @Kev_a_Smith47m It's stopped raining at Ashton Gate, the covers are on & will stay on until the last possible moment. Very confident. Kevin Smith @Kev_a_Smith25m @Mitchlad71 haha, we need to take them off at about 1pm to allow the groundstaff time to prepare the pitch and the players time to warm up!

Pitch has been covered again.@bcfctweetsThere is NO pitch inspection planned ahead of #BristolCity v Peterborough United. There wasnt a pitch inspection on boxing day either & we all know what happened there. I'm hoping they do the decent thing for the fans and inspect the pitch as I'm really not looking forward to another wasted journey! Incidentally the roads are a hell of a lot worse than boxing day, flooding everywhere around Bitton, Bath & Saltford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I have two tickets for today but can't get there due to being flooded out, would have to wade through 3 feet of water to get out to my car, which is on higher ground, Happy days, hoping to be cheered up with a win.
