Funny how the Bristol Bears match tonight at Ashton Gate hasn’t been impacted by the freezing conditions or flooding. Indeed, I’ve just heard the commentators describe the pitch as being in excellent condition.

And our pitch just 4 miles apart will be fit enough to play 2 games less than 24 hours apart.

Intact we then have a women's football game on Wednesday followed by another football game on Saturday, FA cup

Surely the team would have stayed in Bristol tonight? 

Isn't there a ruling about a home team paying expenses for the away side? 

Certainly wouldn want to be paying out twice 

Didn’t know that about the home team paying expenses. Is that for all leagues?

I think you’re being rather unfair. You must remember that the Rovers pitch is closer to the North Pole than ours.

As @weepywall said FA Cup.

Saw an Accrington post a while back, I think they made a profit of around £3 after all costs.
From gate receipts , away team  expenses and other stuff are taken out, then they split whats left. Very simplified view but something like that.

That huge turn out by the fans is almost as impressive as the hoardes that lined the streets for their open top bus parade.Have'nt got the picture so if someone could oblige I am sure we would all enjoy a reminder of the passion on display that day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should never have taken it onto the minimal pitch ... quagmire.holiday-on-the-buses-1973-reg-varney-bob-grant-date-1973-T23XRK.thumb.jpg.925f70086f0b3109a3b9ce49908507a8.jpg

As if having the games at Forest Green, Cardiff and Newport also being still on wasn't a clue, the rare event of City and Rovers playing at home on the same day makes it worse as they can't say 'City would have postponed too if they were home'.

The forecast is for 5 degC by 2pm. Let's assume they don't have under pitch heating. Why are the non league games able to be played?
