Should this fixture go ahead in view of adverse weather conditions on safety grounds ?
BRSC Statement
Supporters Club statement on MK Dons fixture
March 2, 2018
The Supporters Club feel it necessary to comment on the position MK Dons have adopted regarding the fixture with Bristol Rovers tomorrow. Despite representation from various departments of our football club, MK Dons have maintained that the pitch and the stadium surrounds are safe for the expected spectators, and the match is going ahead. However, we also note that their official site is now appealing for people to turn up at 9.30 on Saturday to clear snow.
The Dons are aware that the Police and Highways Agency have warned people in Bristol and the South-West not to drive. They are also aware that there is no public transport in Bristol because of what the BBC have called the worst weather event for a generation. They are also aware that our stadium is also closed until further notice. Yet they expect the players, staff and supporters of Bristol Rovers to travel against best advice, first locally to pick-up points, and then onwards to Buckinghamshire. This, we feel, shows a complete disregard for the safety and well being of our squad, staff and supporters.
Despite this, and in consultation with Eagle Coaches, we will attempt to run our two coaches tomorrow assuming the match is still on after the snow which is now falling in Milton Keynes. They will pick-up in the Kingsway and Filton Avenue as arranged.
A number of fans have contacted the SC Travel Organiser to ask about refunds of travel as they are unable to get to the pick-up points. If the match goes ahead and our coaches run then the answer would be no. However we will discuss this matter at our meeting on Tuesday of next week and will put out another statement then. Please keep your complete travel ticket if you decide not to travel.
BRSC is also disappointed in the lack of leadership from the EFL. We believe the matter is so serious that all matches this weekend should have been called off.

Why would anyone expect leadership from the EFL?

Maybe having no away fans will be the future for football ? all games to be televised and an individual can pay £20 to watch at home or a pub can show the game for £500.
Less policing costs,less stewards, much greener without all those travelling fans.
Take it further and have no home fans either,sell the Stadiums and just keep a pitch and changing rooms.

As it appears to be game on, largely due to MK fans. That's a huge credit to the supporters and fans of a club I hope go out of existence.
Fair play to the fans.
Unfair play to the club.
Safe journey all fans today.
That said, if we can win any game away this season, I deeply hope we win this one, handsomely.
I hope we play our part in consigning MKD to 4th division and beyond, whilst simultaneously keeping our own faint play off place alive.
Gas to win 3-0.
Ellis hat trick.
UptheGas!

It's a genuine question which Nichols is most likely to score ?
Slocombe in for Smith. Soft goal to concede last week v Scunny a deciding factor?

How have we been playing? Attacking line up - as we don't have enough fit mid-fielders... Personally - good to see Moore start - I thought his confidence was completely gone and he was never going to get back in the starting XI.

According to radio, started poorly came into it as game wore on.
Sercombe two very decent shots matched by brilliant saves, turned into corners.
Russe looks like the beard, but beardless.
Best pass of match by Lines to be admired.
There was a passage in play where MK player 'dived' according to commentary so obviously, Locks remonstrated, leading to a dissent mk booking for protest.
Sometimes scrappy game, but it sounds like if we can use width and pull their defence we can get something out the match..
