Hard to contemplate the City game being on tomorrow evening after all the snow we've woken to this morning. The whole south has been dumped on, so it's hard to imagine anyone making it to Ashton Gate within the next 36 hours let alone the pitch being playable. A quickish improvement in temperatures is expected but it looks like it might come just a tad too late for the game to be playable. Frankly, I think that suits us. The sooner we get to the point where all the fear has gone from our players then the better as far as I am concerned. I expect us to put a string of results together before the end of the season and these will be vital for fostering some belief for those players who survive for next season.

Bristol City off?

No snow on the ground here in Bristol at the moment, just the occasional light flurry. It's supposed to snow overnight tonight but how heavy remains to be seen. And I guess it depends on the groundstaff at Ashton Gate.
ReplyDeleteThanks BA - should have known you'd be on the case!
ReplyDeleteI live in Sparrows lane and the coach left about half hour ago. So they are certainly on there way up there!
ReplyDeleteThe League has said the game must go ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm away in Wiltshire at the moment, and though it's been clear this afternoon, it's just started to snow heavily again, and the forecast is for a cold night, so I don't envy anyone making their way home after the game.
ReplyDeleteI'll be following on the mobile.
Suze- Wiltshire? You're practically there?
