Got to Ashton Gate to watch Town play. We pulled up at two, just in time to see the ref come out to tell s the game was off.

It will be off


Wonder if whoever disagreed with you will be tucking in to their humble pie.... though probably not

Correct me if I’m wrong but it must be years since we had a home game off for a frozen pitch, anyone know?

On that info alone I highly doubt it’ll be off given the forecast


I recall a game against York ( Trophy maybe? ) but that'll be about  9  years ago.... also February time as I remember

I remember that

I went by train..... it was hammering down when I got there so bought myself a cheap cagoule to try and keep me dry through the afternoon

Found my way from Temple Meads station to the bus station to get to the ground only to find out they'd just called it off

What made it worse was on the train out of Bristol all the local games were taking place ( as the line passed the South West's equivalent of Hackney Marshes )

Probably because you levelled out your bump and furloughed your groundstaff in the summer.

Yes it was Tim. Lincolnshire was the coldest place in the country with minus 18c at Holbeach. It was even minus 15c out here I think. I still travelled over in vain hope! We had been on a tremendous run of form prior to that so it was disappointing.

What a memory. 1980-81. We came in a car from Colchester where I was a student. No M25 then so it wasn't the greatest journey. Like you, we could see the local games going ahead which was annoying to say the least. That season I travelled to the Sheffield Wednesday game, again from Colchester, only for it to be called off as I was on the bus going up to Hillsborough. I couldn't make the rearranged fixture which we won.
