Agreed.
Ive flown over from Texas with my yank daughter for her first away game for this one. Rental cars too expensive so we are hitching lifts and rides and building our travel itinerary around it.
Some early notice would be helpful. I can’t see the game going ahead though with a crowd
Tell the EFL and you will have two hopes Bob and NoHow many male players are registered to Pompey across their teams. They can field a team.
They will meet have a cuppa and go home. The EFL don’t do nothing.This part of the statement on the website is interesting.
Any chance of 3 points being awarded to
Oxford?
“In light of the increased transmission rate of the Omicron variant, the EFL will now review the circumstances surrounding the postponement.”
Agree with the decision being made early enough for those who haven't committed to going. Will be a good many who have made arrangements that won't be refundable which is not good news.Fair play calling it off so early. Good for the players and staff, probably their first proper Christmas break in yonks. Shame for anyone who had anything non-refundable booked, though. Hope it’s rearranged for a Saturday.
Is that deaths from Covid or, following a positive test result within 28 days? Statistics are so skewed as to be almost misleading.Well it’s the early notice I asked for but it’s disappointing. The world certainly operates from a place of fear these days….
Flu average death numbers over 12 months: up to 25000
Covid deaths last 10 months : 23000
Doubt very much whether any rearranged game would be on a Saturday unless there is an FA cup and neither team is involved. Although January there are no midweek games for the U’s. Pompey have a couple of Tuesdays free towards the end of January but we also play Portsmouth at home in February.Agree with the decision being made early enough for those who haven't committed to going. Will be a good many who have made arrangements that won't be refundable which is not good news.
Will be interested to see what happens with the coach fee. Will it be refunded?
As to the rearranged date, not much chance in January, pretty much no chance in February so, March, on a Tuesday evening?
You’re missing the point.Well it’s the early notice I asked for but it’s disappointing. The world certainly operates from a place of fear these days….

If it's a proper meeting I think you find it'll be cheese and wine not tea.They will meet have a cuppa and go home. The EFL don’t do nothing.
And the question should be, why not?You’re missing the point.
When was the last time you heard of someone with flu.?
It’s no longer about deaths.
It’s about infection.
It’s about the 10 day isolation rule, which is having the same effect as the ”pingdemic”.
You don’t have to isolate if in contact with someone with flu.
And the question should be, why not?
What do they do then?The EFL don’t do nothing.
They do, precisely nothingThey will meet have a cuppa and go home. The EFL don’t do nothing.
Because it is much much less infectious.And the question should be, why not?
In my mind it was against Woking, Dad and I got to the ground at around 12:30 it was still on, so headed to the bowling alley. Heard it was called off so ordered another couple of pitchers - everything got a bit hazy after that, so may well have been against R&D...
Edit: Thinking about it, I'm maybe muddling it up the games, the Woking game didn't we get damn near 12K on Boxing Day, and have the game end in a 0-0 snorefest?
I think you’ve really rather emphasized the point I was making.You’re missing the point.
