modboy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Flip side is all those that have booked coaches and hotels would be left out of pocket. 2 sides. However if police say only essential travel then football certainly isn't that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Common sense from Wolves - take note Bristol City Wolves managing director Laurie Dalrymple said, “Whilst challenging weather conditions up and down the country had already forced a number of EFL fixtures to be postponed we were determined to get this fixture on, and a number of dedicated individuals gave up their time and effort yesterday to help make that a possibility. “However, the safety of both home and away supporters and the numerous match day staff has to take precedence, and after the dreadful and dangerous weather failed to cease, we have been left with no choice but to postpone this fixture. “Unfortunately it is not just Molineux that has been affected, but the surrounding areas are extremely treacherous, including many of the city car parks, which are presently unusable. “With Wolves fans planning to travel from all over the country and Reading supporters coming up from Berkshire, we have made the decision to call the game off now rather than wait and hope that the weather will subside later today.

thewookieisdown Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Gotta say I don't think it's unreasonable for City to put this game on if pitch clearly payable. Refunds available on request - took me just two mins to ring for mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another thing just to ignore in future if the warnings don't mean anything and the the police will be puzzled why nobody takes any notice of there warnings next time.

The fact you've had to get a refund should give you some clue as to why it's unreasonable to go ahead with the match Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markowski77 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The fact is, Bristol see us there for the taking - injuries, poor for, away from home etc they don't care about the fans, all they want is the 3 points on offer with a chance to go back in the play offs and feel we are vunarable like people have said before, if it was roles reversed and Bristol were down the bottom and injuries this game would have been called off days ago just hope we stick it too them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Robinson Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Roads around AG are fine. It's pavements that are very slushy as the snow thaws but A&S police deem it all safe. Bus routes to AG are limited especially in the rural areas and several matchday car parks are also closed. That'll obviously affect today's attendance. There been an outcry amongst fans at the game going ahead but the club have no grounds to postpone it. The pitch is fine and surrounding area passed fit by the police. Difficulty actually getting to AG for the fans counts for nothing. Both clubs need a win so that means it'll be a draw.........1-1 is my prediction. Obviusly I hope City win and I'll pop back in after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
