If the Man Utd v Stoke game was called off because of Covid, I think it was the Stoke manager, what happens if, for instance, Rashford gets it? Would Man Utd put their games on hold for two weeks? Not likely but then again if someone at Stoke tests positive then so can anyone in the PL.

PS Is it true Knocky played for us in the first game 3:0 (hat-trick) and Fulham second game?

Rather Knocky than March any day of the week.

According to Naylor , we are trying to fix something up with Portsmouth . Personally I would like us to play Southampton as least it’s a PL standard game .

You should email Paul B, I'm sure he would consider your suggestion...

The fact that we are playing them in a competitive fixture very soon won't have any sway in the response I'm sure. :lolol:

Playing Spurs would be a better option or Chelsea. Someone close who we have already played twice.

Surely it’s the same for both teams ! As I’ve met PB several times , I couldn’t bring myself to e mail him for any reason , way to embarrassing !

Take your point about Chelsea though .

I think there is a 90 minute rule. So it's Pompey, Fulham, Crawley etc. Southampton is probably too far.

Southampton would be within the 90 minute rule.

Yep current drive time stadium to stadium 1 hour 26 minutes. But no chance of us playing Southampton when we are playing them soon anyway.

Chelsea training ground at Cobham just 56 mins away, so that one makes most sense out of the those we have already played in the P/L. And probably the best test for us for the games v top six we have left?

Is that with or without the fun filled roundaboutathon at Chichester?

Until a few weeks ago I was getting to Chi from Shoreham in 25 minutes, if I was pressing on. Straight to line those roundabouts and you can navigate most at 60 quite comfortably. :rolleyes:

Technically speaking, I guess. Although doing it in 90 minutes from here needs a lot of things to fall your way.

I would have thought the real reason would be the upcoming fixture.
