Not unfortunate. The club could have posted 2 hours ago the game is in severe doubt of going ahead. Those who like to get their early like I usually do to avoid traffic crowds and general aggro just hold fire for a bit. It's horrific. Luckily I was 5 minutes from leaving as the Mrs as usual is arsing about. A normal week I'd have set off an hour ago just to get avoid the aggro. It's poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t make the decision whether to go or not until you know whether it’s cancelled or not. (Assuming you were going anyway it it was on). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 2 hours before kick off is going to have caught loads of people out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I guess they could not make the decision until they had the results. You cannot just abandon the match without the permission of the PL. But the PL should have stopped all games a couple of days ago. It has been clear for a week at least that Omicron was going to run rampant throughout the country. It's all about money. Feel sorry for fans of both teams who have already travelled and also lost money as a result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crap situation but not much the club could do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Burnley fans who are in Birmingham for the game must be really pissed off, that's not a cheap train ticket, it's the whole of their Saturday gone and a risk of getting Covid for nothing! Surely it could have been postponed last night or even at 9am today for example. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Disappointed with Gerrard today, I expected by the end of the day to have an extra 3 points but we’ll end the day with zero extra points. #GerrardOut!

It was obvious a couple of days back that this entire weekend's fixtures should be cancelled. And now look what's happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
