Villa - Postponed

[Guest Col city fan]

I’d like to say we win this one.

But I just don’t think we will. Two very poor sides battling out an early 6 pointer.

I think we’ll go one up, then shit our pants again and they go on to win 2-1

we wont, no, as its Friday tomorrow. 

Doh I'm in Florida at the mo, we fly back tomorrow and land Sat and are heading straight up to the game so threw me so seems like tomorrow to me. I never sleep on flights so Friday will be one long day to me.

This going to be called off then ? I take it that’s the protocol

Yeah. If what we think is going to happen does happen, the plans are that all football games would be scrapped for the weekend.

[Ricey]

10 days of mourning, so could be Villa and Spurs called off if that is the protocol.

 

Perfect time to make a change.

10 days, really ? A bit over the top if the Spurs game is off as well.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it has already happened.

[kingkisnorbo]

10 days? Good grief. 

[Fox1970]

Or bad grief.

[StanSP]

Where's the news about 10 days of mourning? 

 

More importantly*, when do these games get played if so? Fixture schedule is cramped enough as it is! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*obviously not more importantly

i cant believe that they will cancel domestic games for ten days ??

 

i mean the euro games will have to ahead next week 

 

i get that you wouldnt play on the day of the funeral/coronation and probably the day of and immediately following an announcement but i cant see any other days being an issue

It is 10 days of mourning, funeral is on the 10th day, but I'm not sure if that definitely means cancelling sporting events.

I'll give this game a miss. The football is tedious and the results predictable. Until one of those changes I'll take it or leave it.

 

At least in 2014 we were losing in style.

I’ve been voting with my feet since January 

 

More needs to be done now, we should be proactive not reactive. I was going to come back for this game but if there are no organised protests, I shan’t bother.

I agree, don’t really see why the weekend matches would need to be cancelled either if her death is announced tonight. 
Life goes on as they say.

Doubt this game goes ahead. Missis works for sky bet and they have been told it is very unlikely sport will happen this weekend and then on the day she is moved and day of the funeral in 10 days after she passes. 

[SuperMike]

Match off

The queen died? I assume that’s why he’s saying it

[fox in the sox]

We are into a period of mourning so sport will be off for the time being.

[Gazza M]

Hopefully game off and we can hold this game in reserve. Just let Brendan get us the inevitable thrashing at Spurs and sack him off in to the internationals. 

[don_danbury]

why would they call the games off? have they done that before when someone has died?

[Big Dave]

Would prefer the games go ahead, and we hold a silence to remember her.

Would completely understand if it is cancelled though.

[filbertway]

Its not the 1600s why would normal life stop because the Queen has died. Dsy of the funeral then fair play. Our of respect, but cancelling any events in the next 10 days is mental
