Apparently the game is on tomorrow. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/update-bristol-city-v-sheffield-wednesday/
After having their flight cancelled a coach load have arrived from Tilburg (Willem II) Netherlands. They were not going to allow a bit of snow stop them.
Gotta say bloody stupid putting it on. The side streets are terrible. I been ferrying staff to and from work in my 4*4 today,yes I can get to the gate,but who wants to park a car on sidestreet then find it has been hit upon return.
I can't see that many travelling down from Yorkshire. May need to amend my crowd prediction. P.S. 27 degrees here in Mornington, Australia today
I'm not coming up from Dorchester - still can't get out of our close let alone all the way to Bristol

Compared to yesterday, travelling in and around Bristol is much easier this morning. The main roads are now snow free and the side roads have also improved massively and are thawing fast.
The thaw has started down here - but it's too late for me - still dodgy getting out of my road - would need to leave in another hour if I was going Gutted to miss a game - but better to go to all the others than kill myself trying to get there today (and have to accept that if I did risk it, my family would worry)
