See no option other than to forfeit

I don’t think people quite grasp the logistical issues with just swapping the venue of a football game at short notice

In an ideal world just play it behind closed doors at Nuneaton or something, get it out the way and hopefully they can work a miracle and get the pitch at The CBS ready for the Wigan game - there’s many hurdles to that scenario though

Personally I think another game that we had to forfeit will make a stronger case in court for loss of earnings

The ground has to meet these regulations - 5,000 capacity with 2,000 seated which rules out pretty every local non league club unless there is some leeway accepted in circumstances like ours?

There is one party that you haven't considered and one I raised in the Arena thread. The West Mids and Cornwall/South West Police forces have a lot of say in when games go ahead. For cup replays, there used to be a 10 day gap to allow the relevant police force to ensure they had enough officers on. We move the game to another ground and the WM Police will have a lot to say about the safety aspects. And same with reversing the fixture, SW Police won't be happy at staffing another game with minimal notice and Brizzle hasn't officially been called off yet.

This one is a bust so we can only hope for the next home game in 10 days time.

I’ve been told that we have asked for the game to be played at Bristol and a decision will be made on Monday morning.

It's a no brainer. Switch it to Bristol. If no away fans are allowed because it's too late to arrange police etc so be it.

What about at the Higgs? Then its still our hime advantage as such, obviously not everyone can come to watch, but we need to get the game played, potentially those who have payed get free streaming of the game

The club will want the game postponed and a bye given to Bristol City to make a stronger court case

We could just move it to Brizzle and play BCD's.

Play it at Bristol and they should pick me up from mine in a Taxi to take me there.

Realistically, they need to announce what's going on today.

People will have travel booked from Bristol and city fans making arrangements to get to the game.

Especially if Bristol City get a home draw against a PL team in the next round.

That's why it doesn't say "what do you think will happen to the Bristol City game this week"

I note tickets have been taken off sale this morning. Looking like we forfeit, can't see any other realistic options other than perhaps a switch and play bcd.

Really? Well I very much doubt playing at a neutral venue is even an option.

If we had extreme weather and it had to be postponed we wouldn’t be forced to forfeit. The authorities have deemed the pitch unplayable so I don’t see why this would have to be an outcome?

Just reading their forum. One guy reckons it’s going to be played at neutral venue and only those with pre purchased tickets allowed entry

Nearly as bad as your posts on the matter.

The game will be on, I'm certain of it.

It's a bit bad in the middle but that's it? Way too much hand ringing on here

I said the game would be on and it wasn't. Big deal. How does it feel being always right about absolutely everything?

Somebody has to do it, don't they? Some of our fans are too busy being deluded.

The trying to mock people who pointed out issues with the pitch was a highlight. "Yeah but I am so proud we are hosting Zambia v Sri Lanka in the Rugby Sevens".
