A bit gutted as I was looking forward to it but actually probably for the best given the state of our squad too.

 

Means we’ll be well rested for the 3rd round game, as defending champions😎

I don't see any positives to it, we will likely have one of the three postponed games shoehorned in to January now when we are without Iheanacho, Ndidi and Amartey. At least had Saturday gone ahead with Norwich's problems, we'd likely have got the job done and one less game and 3 more points on the board.

Aren’t clubs just gaming this situation now? 

[StanSP]

You'd like to think this would mean we won't suffer any more injuries until the next game!

[weller54]

They had just 4 outfield players training today!..

What's their problem?...

That's more than enough to score 2 or 3 from set pieces against us.

[Tielemans63]

Makes you wonder if the Premier League might have to adopt the same approach as rugby union and award wins and losses depending on which team postpones. Season's never going to finish otherwise.

Not with our new man to man system they`ve not  :-) 

[st albans fox]

Madders (nearly) , kdh (nearly) , Thomas had all played four full games in past 8 days 

 

Risking muscle injury to play again this Saturday 

 

take the sensible option

They should just abandon it. Hit the reset and go again next year. 

Not sure the clubs can afford it, they had to pay back a rebate on the TV deal last time even with play the remaining games.

Suppose it saves the 190 mile round trip hungover on Saturday

Should have done that from the start, precedent has been set now though sadly. 

[Aus Fox]

Not the worst thing for us with our injuries, however that is three extra games to squeeze into the schedule next year. Not sure when we get them in.

I think this is what should of happened from the start. Would stop clubs taking the piss with it

This season is complete carnage isn’t it. The Qatar World Cup in November was a bad idea at the time but since covid it looks worse.

 

No real opportunity to stretch the season longer than it needs and teams have extra games AOTS. What’s the answer?

 

Greco-Roman wrestling between the remaining fit players instead of rearranged fixtures? It'll diversify the fanbase and sell more calendars at the shop.

Depends if we’d last any more to injury during the game 

 

(actually, a muscle strain to one of the Nigerian boys which fuelled them out for three weeks may have been a result for us!) 

[Gav_LCFC14]

The worst part for me is I work away from Leicester on weekdays, which means I won't be able to make the rescheduled dates for this and Everton, which are most likely going to be mid week.

I said the same thing earlier when talking to a mate about it.

[Ric Flair]

Should have a 2 week break, expose every squad player to an infectious team mate and then resume in a fortnight where teams will have nowhere left to hide.

 

Pathetic

This is the annoyance for me too. I buy tickets for me and my 6 year old. When these get rescheduled it’ll probably be 8pm kick offs on school nights so it’s money down the bloody drain for me no doubt - unless the club offers refunds for rescheduled dates? I’ll still want to go, but it’s such a faff messing around getting home when he has school the next day.

Was looking forward to this on NYD.

Good excuse for a catch up and a nice walk down. AND it's a 3pm on Saturday!!!

 

Can a mod add Postponed on the thread to help posters trawling through pages to see if its confirmed or not. X

Absolutely. Certain teams will try every trick in the book to cause a situation where there's a possibility of escaping or delaying nigh on certain failure. 

[Guest Electric Yetis]

FFS. I now have 5 useless tickets as my son's birthday present and won't be able to use them for a rearranged fixture on a school night. What a mess.

[RowlattsFox]

I don't understand how they can play on Tuesday and then today have just 4 players in training. 

 

The premier League has made it easy for clubs to get games off now. Going to be ridiculous fitting games in. 

[adam]

Don't think many will be saying it's for the best when we have 4 games a week in April. It can't go on like this.

Please remember to visit the homeless foodbank pre match.

Likely to now be done at the Brighton fixture.

[phoneticerror]

I’m pretty annoyed by this. Every plan I’d made for NYE and NYD was scheduled with this as the main bloody event. Now I’ll have to spend more time with the family and be social with in laws. 🤬

 

Thanks Norwich! Glad you’ll be relegated.
