@owlstalk Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The match is currently ON Here’s the situatiom in Bristol Main roads are clear to the ground. side roads are not. The weather has changed from snow to freezing rain Avon and Somerset Police have advised people not to travel Buses are trying to get some services running but it’s clear they won’t be able to get a full service For Bristol City fans many won’t be able to get to the game and if they can may not risk it in case they can’t get back Bristol city are clearly desperate to make this game happen as they sniff three points on the pitch if they play us right now The question is will enough stadium staff be able to make it in?

Guest mkowl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The irony of course is if Wednesday did this, were desperate to get a game on that we would lose 3-0. Historically the only time I remember this was the FA Cup v Arsenal in 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 To give some perspective the Hull v Warrington rugby league went ahead despite the M62 being shut and their supporters coaches not running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that It's that they know we have the first team out, are playing Under23's and are in shocking form They need the three points and are desperate to play this game right now whilst we're in such vulnerable state Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Apparently pavements around the ground are treacherously slippy with ice. Real danger of slips and broken bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Going against Police advice is actually disgusting. Bristol City should be ashamed and docked points for being so selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not sure how this works in terms of the final say. Clearly BC are responsible for safety inside the ground and will have risk assessed the situation, as SUFC said they did on Thursday. Outside the ground would be several agencies, including the council highways, transport and police. Interestingly, the SUFC rep also said on Thursday that the EFL have a say. If so, how can they possible not side with the statutory agencies over the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
