Tonights Game
- Thread starter samcalo85
- Start date
There goes the only part of tonights plans i was looking forward to!This is the part i take objection to and the attitude that causes the UK to come to standstill... I don't see how its unsafe to go out in the car unless you're unwell or vulnerable? I live on untreated road (in the lanes north east of Cardiff) - i've been up through the beacons & valleys countless times with heavy snow and much worse conditions than we have down here and have never once had a problem. As long as you drive sensibly (15mph along the m4 when its clear isn't what i mean by sensible mind...) and with some common sense it perfectly fine out, even in a standard road car with summer tyres fitted.
Anyway, i won't argue as i will never win
At least the roads will be quieter for me when i head into Cardiff later.Just a shame Panthers couldn't make it due to the traffic chaos caused by this terrible snowstorm. :roll:

Better to avoid the chaos and not travel if it isn't vital.

My point exactly although it was a shame the part of my post where I was actually agreeing about the country coming to a standstill wasn't copied and pasted. If people want to go against advise about travelling that is up to them, but don't lambast other people because they don't want to travel no matter what their age or physical state. As it happens I did go out last night and got a taxi home and the roads were awful.
Is that right? Are you a season ticket holder?
I WASN'T impressed to be told by staff at the BBT at 1pm that the game was 'definitely on', only to drive to the Arena after work at 5.30pm to find it was cancelled. When I originally asked if it was likely to be cancelled, I was told 'no'. :twisted: My stupid fault, I guess, for not ringing again to check. :roll:

I'm not saying you should go out if you don't feel safe - Just saying people shouldn't complain that games should be cancelled and everything should stop because you can't make it.
I went out last night too into Cardiff and drove home in the early hours. The roads were perfectly fine, no problems at all. A little icy but if you drive sensibly theres no reason for them to be a problem. Equally been out today through the lanes without a single problem. Everything continues as normal.
I don't feel the need to have people tell whether its safe for me to leave my house or not. I think i'm perfectly capable to judging that for myself - Im not so much referring to yourself or ice hockey - Just the country in general. I just can't stand all the fuss thats made about it and how Health and Safety has gone mad.
