By confirming the game can go ahead, will they have had to consider all factors including the safety of all supporters and staff? There would be issues with safety within the ground but not outside.....travel at your own risk, reason being nobody is forcing you to go and travel warnings are out. The game should be postponed in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassdrinker Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You have to wonder at the mindset of the local police. Surely they should be calling off the game, if only to concentrate their resources on things that MUST go ahead such as genuine emergencies.

Owling Wolfe Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I wonder how keen BCFC would be to play this match if we had a fully fit squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) It would be great to see the look on Lee Johnson’s face if the Wednesday coach turned up and FF, Hooper, Bannan , Lees and Lee got off carrying their boots Sunday League style Edited March 3, 2018 by oldishowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are both clubs going to guarantee the safety of supporters travelling home tonight ? People have been stuck on motorways overnight this week ffs. No consideration for the away fans, stinks.

theowlsman Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 5 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Hey Katrien Trains are cancelled meaning any fans travelling by train are unable to get to Bristol so can't get to the game, the police are advising people NOT to travel, and there's freezing rain forecast to put black ice on the roads. It's unsafe, our fans could be at risk by travelling back from Bristol at night in freezing temperatures and we risk accidents which nobody wants Please can you do something to force this game to not go ahead given that our fans can't get there? pps - can you please announce that George Hirst has signed on Monday? Thank you! (for any grumps out there yes I have contacted the club about this directly too) (not the george hirst bit - the bit about calling the game off) So what is the latest with Hirst?

Am sure a lawyer would claim that True, let's be honest here, as commendable as it is our loyal away fans it's a personal choice and they are responsible for their own actions and decisions in this instance, people can argue that the clubs should have requested a postponement here due to the local police advising people not to travel, but maybe the travelling fans should have wisely taken heed of that same advice.... swings and rounabouts Edited March 3, 2018 by steveger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
