Sleepy1968 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (Noted comments re undersold heating.) OP it's only ever going to be postponed if it's dangerous for spectators to attend. This won't be the case tomorrow. Thete was a home game v Sheff Weds about 5 years ago (?) when their squad was decimated. Although conditions were poor underfoot & some roads were impassable, we made sure we put the game on. I'd say about 50% of fans didn't manage to attend. Shocking antifan decision that was.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 We played Sheffield Weds during ‘the Beast from the East’. I’d be amazed if tomorrows game is in doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I am in BS 23 today and tomorrow. The weather is a bit on the cold side out today. I charged the gas key with £20 today. So game will be fine sat with my grandsons on the sofa with a pot of tea and heating on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 @REDOXO on this subject - how on earth do the NFL teams play, with fans in attendance, on -20C? How is that allowed by their equivalent of the safety groups? Police? Players unions? How does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the players are padded with levels of body protection and games are played in virtually all conditions including snowstorms. I don’t remember a game ever being postponed because of the weather. That said I guess that only heavy fog might cause a game to be delayed/postponed but even then they might have to play. The NFL is a huge organisation worth billions and billions of dollars and for a fixture not to be fulfilled would cause massive disruption to the entire set up. As for public safety- I have no idea what the American regulations are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo v Pittsburgh was moved from Sunday to Monday because of the weather. 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stone Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Sheffield Wednesday was still the best all those years ago. Apparently they were bringing their usual big following which became impossible due to heavy snow. Those that made it to a absolute freezing old Park end section were told at half time that the M5 and M1 motorways were now shut. On top of that one of our lot in the Park end home section only had a football shirt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
