One assumes there's a bit of a conflab going on somewhere which is probably not good news for us?

I’ve given up on my plans. I am not travelling up, simple as that. :|

Possibly the most ridiculous misguided post I’ve ever read on here ( and that’s saying something ) Do you seriously ,genuinely think the club would seek postponements for 2 home games and very winnable too, when we’re stone bottom and could be totally cut adrift by mid Feb. If we had an even relatively competitive side we’d be out there .
Haha as if it’s that ridiculous a point. You think we’re so different to other clubs in this division with these postponements? We can play these games just like the others could.

The clubs, and yes I’m afraid Burnley, act like it was an impossibility to play these games. It wasn’t - it was just not convenient or, fair enough, highly inconvenient. But they could be played.

I want to watch us play when we’re supposed to be playing. That’s what I paid for.

The original postponements grabbed little attention, however I feel the authorities now need to be seen to be more investigative. Not helped by certain managers bleating , similarly the media, where Durrant of Talk Sport went of one about Burnley and Arsenal tonight. Could not follow his logic and at least Andy Townsend put up a reasoned case for us trying to postpone

What happens if we are forced to play the game but like Everton did on the day of their game v Burnley we manage to pick up a couple of "injuries" in training on the morning of the game.

I can't in all honesty see them rejecting our request tbh

Thank god for that. That just wouldn’t have been fair and would’ve sent us down for sure. Gary Neville can just get stuffed.

I think it will be on. Hope not but bad feeling about it.
similar thoughts, maybe my mind and conspiracy theories but given the time taken, it seems like a split decision, whether to put new rules in effect now/immediately or to change them for the coming weekend matches. As SD likes to say, it's touch and go at the moment.

There was only one decision that could have been made here, so why did it take so long?
