Arsenal (a) pre-match thread (Game given go ahead 1350hrs)

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

To be honest when advice is being given to only travel if neccesary in certain parts, the FA decision to allow the Spurs game to go ahead tonight with Rochdale fans having to travel 200 miles to get there is fucking scandalous.

As I said, the only reason Spurs game is going ahead is because they won't have a slot for a replay and then would have to shuffle their QFs to later as well ... and the same reason ours will be postponed because there is perfectly good slot available for Sky to reschedule this game to ... so one ON, and one OFF ... in both cases, notice the similarity? NO REGARD WHATSOEVER of travelling fans! TV Companies first, own fixtures scheduling by the League/FA second ... and that's that!

Well at least no one in Rochdale had to take a day off work

It's up to City to get to the London venue two days before as per normal practice

Would of rather had this game go ahead. Arsenal are on their knees at the moment and could easily see us giving them another tonking.

Feel sorry for any blues who’s plans would be wrecked by this being off, but I think it would be a good thing for the team. Really big ask of the players to come through 2 games against Arse and Chelsea in the space of a few days. Also we would have Dinho and Delph back for any rearranged game

Absolutely spot on mate, the whole idea of these warnings is to advise of danger, surely the football authorities have a duty of care when travel warnings have been issued.
