What would be unfair, but would probably be our 'tough titty' because our fixture against them is on the 10th:
I read somewhere that Birch is due in the High Court on Friday 9th to say yae or nae as to whether Pompey have the funds to feasibly continue. What if he says no?
How out of pocket would we be seeing as we are meant to play them the next day? Forget the fifty odd grand in away ticket sales. That would be small change if the game is cancelled forever. Ticket sale refunds, food & drink sale losses & umpteen other pre paid matchday expenses plus lost income? Season ticket holders would probably receive a credit for a game next season or credit on their cards. Its a potential serious unplanned loss for The Albion.
Teams that have played them at home & won may well bitch about losing three points. (Allardyce has been whinging) At least they've banked the money from any home fixture.
Hopefully they'll limp on until the end of the season then get booted into the Conference South. Or at least March 11th !
Interesting and valid point re; potential losses if we don't play them on March 10th.
22,500 @ at an average of £25 (match ticket, booze and food) is £562,500......a lot of money...!
