Surely it would only work for a light dusting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I’m not able to go to this one anyway so hope it’s postponed so I can get to the rearranged fixture. But less selfishly I hope they call it off tomorrow so people have plenty of notice. It may be reasonable around pride park but it’s certainly not where I live. We’ve not seen a gritter and the road is treacherous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I am constantly amazed by how a little bit of snow brings the country to a stand still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Let’s get it on and won!!!! 2 days to clear the roads. No significant snow expected before the match. Railways back on track by then. Get your boots and thermals on. Set out early if in doubt. Just watching Man City rip Arsenal another new one, loads of Man City fans made it down there. If the shandy drinkers from Fulham don’t fancy it, their loss. A bit of snow isn’t dampening my good feeling for this one. Let’s get our momentum back and take it on to next week.

VulcanRam Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Can't see it going ahead simply because of the issues getting to and from the stadium. Took 45 mins to get three miles to Pride Park today, mostly because people insist on driving at 5 mph. There weren't even that many cars out and about. Imagine that with several thousand, it'll be chaos, especially when the inevitable accident happens. Roads on Pride Park and around the stadium were not in a good state at 6pm tonight. Also, as it's so cold, sitting outside for two hours plus carries a health risk, esp to the young and elderly. And although I class myself as neither, even if it is on, I won't be going, even being outside for 15 mins today I'd frozen my knackers off. No way am I sitting still outside for that amount of time.

The heating system is one of the first to be introduced to stadia in the UK. M. Morris has invested heavily in the ground. The issue isn't being in the ground, its outside and getting to and from regards the safety of spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game goes ahead, expect some good offers on West Stand season tickets next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dordogne-Ram Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Six inches on the top of our wheelie bins at present, and -11 degrees C currently. (Greater Matlock area, not seen a bus on the A6 since mid-afternoon Wednesday, A6 a skating rink north of Bakewell, and Buxton totally cut off earlier today - no wonder @whaley bridge Ram is concerned!)

I've coughed up £40 notes for train tickets so will lose at least £20 of that in 'admin fees' getting a refund.

I can understand why you'd want to know but surely there's no way you'd expect a decision to have been made or in fact any realistic indication at 9:30 on Thursday morning.

Different country, different infrastructure and different coping mechanisms. I bet they couldn't cope with.. ok so they've got it all over there. Got it; at least we don't make triangular chocolate and cheese with holes in! The neutral so and so's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true though, people say oh look at such and such they always get loads of snow and cope, but they get ready as they know its coming, we dont know if and when its going to hit, how many years have we had hardly a flake of snow? We can hardly set ourselves up from Beginning of November to end of April just in case we get a few inches of snow. We just have to try and cope the best we can.

But I bet any football was off...which is kind of the the point. Anyway, its -300 with six feet of snow here in Derby, so there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
