...that's it, Matey, the game will be re-arranged for a later date.

Any ideas on when? Or is it one of those things where they just shoehorn it in somewhere?

 

[Buckers]

Having seen that squad sheet I'm glad its postponed!

To today's football it is...

The Police recommendation to call the game off was due to structural damage to the roof.
Safety comes first,and always should.
Come on you usual suspects there must be some angle you find to bash Bill over this.

The clubs discuss a date, then get the ok from the league basically. There are rules and that when they can and cant play, so there will probably be only 2 or 3 dates that will work. Could be next week though. I think.

I'm gonna stay positive and say its as good as 3 points in the bag getting this game postponed. More time to get players fully fit and next time we play them we should at least have some striker options with Lukaku & Traore. Plus willdo Barry the world of good to have a weeks rest. Now just want the ****e and Spurs to lose and that will be perfect along with the mancs getting a good roasting.

No-ones arguing that it shouldn't have been called off. They just should have done it earlier. We could all see this coming.

Im always gutted when this happens, Apparently it was the tiles falling off the roofs of the surrounding streets

 

[Groucho]

Regardless of the timing, it must always be safety first.

Remember that fan who was killed by something blown off by the wind prior to our Leicester game in 2004?

Frustrating for all but we don't want a repeat of that.

Yep and it was poo.

Thanks!

Definitely put a damper on my afternoon.

Oh well, safety first I suppose. Bit of a weird thing as a hockey fan originally... games never get cancelled no matter what is going on outside. There could be only 1000 people make it to the rink, and they would still play.
