BristolCityFan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 1 minute ago, steelowl said: what are your thoughts mate ? Can see why you'd get this on at any cost considering our status but the forecast seems to have been ignored I know it wouldn't concern you guys but to call it off now needs to be done as early as possible re traveling fans Of course I can understand both view points; on and off. And obviously why it needs to be done as soon as, because some of your fans, and your team, will be travelling today. I’d make the call now, and say it should be off. Depending on what weather forecast you look at, it looks like lots of snow till tonight. Then freezing rain. I live about 20 Minutes from Ashton Gate, and wouldn’t walk to it now, let alone drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s surely won’t be enough time for any considerable improvement. Ashton Gate is also surrounded by hills, all bar one entrance route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls7 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Snowing heavy here at the moment I just can't see the point of it going ahead. I'd be amazed if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) All the advice from Highways agency is don't travel unless you have to. We should take heed of this and inform Bristol we will not be travelling due to a risk assessment advice not being compliant with protecting the Health and Safety of both staff and fans.

Thanks for the honesty, seems to me they have, taken this decision to ensure our team coach sets off . It gives them every chance of getting the game on IF possible, As normal away fans are just an inconvenience. Thats not a dig at Bristol, its the norm everywhere.

To be fair, city seem to be treating home fans as an inconvenience this season. 300% price rise for children season tickets next season in some areas.

The major routes are clearing due to use but that's about it. The major routes are clearing due to use but that's about it. (taken from our forum).

MysticOwl Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 All it will take is 1 traffic problem and you will end up stuck in a line of traffic for hours. This is a ridiculous idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
