Carling cup match between Bristol Rovers and Watford called off. Not looking good right now

 

[W4FC B3N]

Wigan playing at home so it's all good for me

 

[Anthony]

If the United match is called off I will crack up.

 

[Giggles]

Obviously it will depend on if the riots have cleared up by Thursday/Friday Night- Hopefully they will, I was looking foward too Match of the Day

I hope the games aren't called of but if they are I can understand. It's for the safety of the fans.

If the rain starts chucking down, there may be a chance of footie. After all, the thieving/rioting arseholes wouldn't want to get their newly stolen gear wet or dirty now would they?

The decision is being made tommorow morning, so unless the Govt. and the police can prevent all but sporadic incidents tonight then expect to hear some grim news.

If we see anything on the scale of the last few nights then at the very least fixtures in major cities affected will be off imo.

It's been extremely quiet. Lots of idiots spreading false rumours on Twitter-nothing more than that though. The kids up here wouldn't start anything anyway-the cops for starters will own them no problems, and the residents would knock seven bells out of them. Very strong community spirit around here and they will not tolerate scumbags lightly believe me.

It is however, ******* down and cold. Enjoy your trip up here

Haven't heard about anything from Stoke, so I guess the Chelsea game will go on

 

[CtPauley]

Premier League confirms Saturday's match between Tottenham and Everton has been cancelled.

 

[*Jamess*]

All but Tottenham v Everton are going to be played.

Is that confirmed?

Yes it is

 

[Sulsey]

500,000+ angry Football fans Vs Rioters?

I sure wouldn't want to be in the rioters.

 

[alicwkd]

Yes it is

Cheers, good to hear. Glad to see that for the most part they are not letting the riots effect any more football. They already postponed possibly the only match I will get to see this season on Tuesday night ><

Wise decision by the FA (for once). Safety of the fans should be more important. Deflating yes, end of the world no.
