coopswfc76 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 1 minute ago, Alan Robinson said: 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. They have told everyone not to travel unless essential it's a joke tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarNigel Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Been in Portishead for 30 min now. No issue whatsoever. Roads are clear and because of the panic there's little to no traffic. Still can't understand the hysteria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Morning All I know it’s not what you wanted to hear but the decision to persevere with the game has clearly been vindicated. Temperature rising, snow thawing very quickly and buses running almost as normal. Have been out and about this morning and the roads are absolutely fine, now snow at all in all but the smallest roads. Your biggest threat is getting splashed from all the slush on the pavements. Have walked two miles this morning in rural area about 6m from the centre of Bristol and not found any ice anywhere, and it will be better as you get closer to the centre. Safe travels to all who come down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 anyone know why all the premiership games are going ahead? Do they have underground heating on the roads and pavements outside, or will betfred, skybet,,bet365 and numerous others be very angry if they dont play?

scram Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think the issues are much more about the hassle on roads and rail between Sheffield and Bristol But as stated - if that were a deciding factor then every game would be off today Imo nobody should put themselves at risk for a football match - but i understand why fans will still go all out to get to the match by whatever means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not in Wolverhampton so can’t comment on conditions there but here there is no legitimate reason for a football game to be called off. The roads are safe, the stadium is safe and public transport in the city is running well. With the greatest respect and sympathy for those affected, a 22k event isn’t going to get called off because of a very small proportion of away fans have had their trains cancelled.
