RigBon Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Quote Owls supporters are advised of the following statement issued by Bristol City at Midday today. City’s Sky Bet Championship match with Sheffield Wednesday will go ahead as planned (3pm kick-off). Following a deluge of snow across the South West, stadium staff have been working tirelessly to clear the car parks, seating deck and surrounding areas. The Ashton Gate pitch has undersoil heating, ensuring it will be fit for tomorrow’s game. Avon & Somerset Police are happy with the roads leading to the stadium, with the M4, M5, A4 Portway, A369 and A370 all open. Opponents Sheffield Wednesday will be travelling down to Bristol today to ensure they are in position to fulfil the fixture. The club advises supporters to allow extra time to travel, noting that some smaller roads close to the stadium are difficult to access by car, so would advise fans to park further away and walk the final part. Alternatively, where possible, fans should utilise public transport, with local buses to re-open their services this afternoon. Fans attending the game are urged to plan ahead, wrapping up warm in the icy temperatures. Due to supply challenges, food and drink stocks will also be limited from the concourse concessions. Tickets for the match will be available on the day for home supporters only, with the matchday ticket office open from 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi Owls, City fan here for my bi-annual visit, I hope you're all well. It's snowing again down here so I would keep an eye out for news. We don't get a lot of these conditions so the whole city is at a halt at the mo. While the pitch and stadium will be clear, the surrounding areas are a total 'no go' zone so I can see the local constabulary overruling the club on this. Even the local buses aren't currently running. If it is on and you decide to travel down, the road conditions off any main routes are horrid currently so please take every precaution you can. Whereas you good folk further north get this type of weather regularly, we don't hence we're just not prepared for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I find this utterly disgusting to be honest. I wonder if Bristol City would be so eager to get the game on if we wasn’t so short of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said it's currently snowing again down here, the buses aren't running so we can't use public transport, we've been advised not to use our cars and I've just tried to get my car out and couldn't get out of my road. I just can't see it being on as even the home supporters can't currently get there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howards back Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Strange that A S police say they are happy with road conditions but the Bristol lads say it’s chaos. It looks to me that A S police are out of the same mould as S Y police. I know who I believe and it’s not A S police. They probably say at 9-00 it’s not fit to travel. Thanks for the updates Bristol lads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Oh my. now how can the match at the sty be off but this Is on! No public transport! It's obvious bcfc want to take advantage of our injury crisis. Like today's society no respect for elders hope our B side does one over them. Be ashamed BCFC.
