[Football] When will Albion v Arsenal be postponed?

[GOM]

Won't be cancelled/postponed. Games go ahead as normal this weekend then all games to be played behind closed doors.

Be interesting to see what happens if the club state they aren’t partial refunding season tickets. Mass 20k cancellation of direct debits ?

I don't care really, it is budgeted money. Gone.

Don't see why Tony should take the hit.

Perhaps we can get 'loyalty' points if we refuse refunds ?

Won't be postponed but will be played behind closed doors on Saturday, no televised live feed either.

All ticket holders to get free access to live broadcast.

Agreed. Also, anyone cancelling their DD will likely be pursued for the debt (and clearly won't ever get a ST again). Given the potential seriousness of the pandemic and potential implications, missing out on half a dozen football matches I've paid for is very much in the 'First World problem' category. Still expect loads of the usual suspects to be flaming Barber/the club for the way they are being treated if this happens though.

There is always access to a live broadcast

All ticket holders to get free access to live broadcast, which they'll take to their local pub and watch the match with their mates.

Finished off for you

In reality the club still have costs I for one would rather sacrifice a little, along with others, rather than a squeeze be put on our club.

I'd expect the Premier League / FA could rustle something up to compensate clubs on this. Average £2M gate receipts per game is not a massive number.

Link?

Of course, If games are played behind closed doors it increases the chance of TV coverage.

Graduated though. I don't see why some OIK with a pro-rata £18 North Stand ST, should get the SAME streaming capability as I get, when I have paid for the Diamond Titanium Lounge experience.

They should have Guy Mowbray presenting theirs in non-HD quality, whilst we get the full G-Nev & Carra, Sky experience.

they should also be forced to watch on a small screen, sat on an uncomfortable kitchen chair, and should be forced to lock all the toilets in their house, and queue to piss in the garden.

That's OK then.



All those shop goods being manhandled by all and sundry.

Be interesting to see if travel companies give refunds too. For example, a mate of mine has already bought trains tickets for Leicester and Norwich.

They should have that utter ****, "Fletch" presenting theirs in non-HD quality, whilst we get the full G-Nev & Carra, Sky experience.

Corrected for you.

Otherwise, I'm fully with you, bro'.

Random thought…

A televised game would still involve, what, 200+ people being in a ground, at absolute minimum?

Both teams and their support systems, TV crews, ground staff, some basic security, some police presence, H&S ambulance crews etc, catering etc etc…

So it's still a "large gathering of people". At what point does it no longer achieve the aim of 'not being a large gathering', if that is the aim?

If matches are played behind closed doors will Southern Rail refund travel costs to the club?

I think something will be announced today. I work in The Telegraphs building and it looks like a ghost town up here. They know something I don't know yet.

Unless any of the btn or arsenal players contract the virus, I very much doubt this game will be called off. The UK govt is more cautious than some about implementing policies that effect social cohesion unless there is a big clinical benefit. For this reason I think highly likely the game will go ahead with fans.

Obviously if the situation deteriorates significantly over the next few days, games would be played behind closed doors and this could happen in the next week or two.

But the btn arsenal game will go ahead as planned is my bet.

They can stand the recommended distance apart. 3ft, I think?
