Man Citeh V Hammers

The safety of Gold and Sullivan ?

be surprised if millwall game finishes

so is the sheff utd game being played in the canary islands ? i dont get it

Sheffield has its own micro climate, thought everybody knew that

I can see the city ground from my garden and it’s bright and sunny
Wind is blowing but nothing to worry about?

Surface water.

1-0 to the visitors

I am less than a mile away it’s actually not a bad afternoon nothing like the forecast.

I am more than a mile away and it is also a nice bright afternoon

think more to it than meets the eye ,I think City wanted that game off 

The suns out now

1-1. Sharp

Very

I have just been for a walk with the dog down the side of the city stadium and it’s like a spring day
Very strange why it’s been cancelled?

Pep needs further rest

too much money in that league

They are using the weather as an excuse and quite frankly its laughable

Me thinks its them that the weak one's and are trying to make the rest of us such as well

Sheff Us on and Bournemouth had to travel up from right down south

So we know they are talking b0llocks

Who will pay for all of the uneaten pies and bovril

They'll be donated to the local mosque.

THE JEELIED EELS,PIE AND MASH WONT SEE THE DAY OUT

Apparently, someone forgot to order the pies and bovril.
That’s the real reason for the cancellation

You simply can't expect the modern day Premiership footballer to play on muddy pitches.

just a breezy one  sparrow

You can't let people drive or walk in the rain and wind, it might mess their hair up and that includes the men

Yeah!! Dont think these Northerners are as tough as they make out!

doubt it's anything nothing to do with the weather ...it was probably arranged  knowing how corrupt the game is .

probably just takes a persuasive word  and bingo

why is this even a conversation, it was called off due to the weather

and sheff utd and millwall wasn't  ?

Orff in the interest of safety.

Man City tourist fans bringing in Coronavirus?

All those empty seats flapping about could cause a narsty accident.

why didn't they rearrange the game for this evening, i know it's a pain for the supporters but nobody cares about them usually.

exactly knot ...like when did clubs every worry about supporters ? ...it's about money and resting players  ..... floods round the ground my arse 

probably got staff to get the hose pipe out of the shed  chuck a few buckets of water about the place

pep will be moaning about fixture congestion next and west hams next game is 24 february away to liverpool.

fair enough the weather is still a bit iffy today but i think the forecast is much better for tomorrow, perhaps the players and staff have already booked a little holiday who knows.

West Ham have agreed to a 2-0 walkover to be awarded to Citeh in return for a transfer fee of £100 million being agreed for Declan Rice.

There is no way the management or City players would have wanted it postponed. It'll be a fixture that now gets bundled into the mix when they're trying to focus on the Champions League.

Meanwhile just down the road in Oldham a Premiership team in it's first ever season.


Disputes, unpaid rent and an empty stand: Oldham lurch towards crisis
The League Two club is behind with the rent with the current owner urging the police to investigate the ‘financial conduct’ of the previous owners.

Maybe they could send the unused Citeh pies and bovril to Oldham

Simply illustrates the state of the game in this country.

Reflects wider society.
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

Nothing to do with the sort of people owning clubs these days then?
Or maybe just as a Tory PM once said "The unacceptable face of Capitalism"

Match rearranged for next
WEDNESDAY

gOOD ON YOU
pep

Storm Lionel predicted for next Wednesday

i have no idea why these markets are taken down in the first place  ...can't they just be left alone  ...the match isn't going anywhere  .

spent ages getting my bets on ,then void , then have to start all over again .

3 day rule seems a bit daft  ... when you consider some markets ... eg next labour leader market had been up there since the hills were created

3 day rule has been around for a long time, likely it was more to do with acca”s, back in the day, you”d struggle to get singles on the footy.
A lot of time can pass before a rearranged fixture, best all round to void all bets and allow individuals to choose if they wish to renter the new market.

still doesn't make sense ,even if they just kept a correct score market open ..if u want a new market just simply see  your bets again  ...just seems a bit 'fussy'

sell *

irritating getting some good bets on and then seeing them just disappear for no reason

Can't please everyone, for some punters it will be important to release the liquidity.

Manchester City's home Premier League match against West Ham has been rescheduled for Wednesday, 19 February at 19:30 GMT.

The match was originally scheduled for Sunday, 9 February but adverse weather conditions, caused by Storm Ciara, forced its postponement.

The game will be on the same night as some Champions League last-16 fixtures.

It will be City's first match since the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on 2 February.

The Hammers, who will play their first match since their 3-3 draw against Brighton on 1 February, will offer free coach travel to their fans.

The rearranged fixture has interrupted both teams' original scheduled winter break which had been scheduled between 9 February and 22 February - the start of the next full round of Premier League fixtures.

Under normal circumstances, playing a Premier League game on the same night as Champions League matches would have been frowned upon by Uefa.

It would still prefer it not to happen but the governing body understands that Manchester City are in a tricky position thanks to a problem they had no control over.

Once the March international break has passed, there are only two spare midweek slots - and City already need one for their game against Arsenal, postponed after they reached the EFL Cup final.

If they progress past Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup, Pep Guardiola's side could have another two games called off, so they can do without using the West Ham game to fill a slot.

While City and West Ham are still technically on their winter breaks on 19 February, it was felt within reason to ask them to play on that date as both teams return to training this weekend.

City catering manager, Peter Piemuncher, confirmed that the pies and Bovril ordered for the originally scheduled fixture have been stored in a suitable refrigerator and will be made available for the rescheduled match.

Peter also stated that "we have a wide range of nutritious food options, including jellied eels and pie & mash for home and visiting fans, we aim to satisfy all tastes".

Under normal circumstances, playing a Premier League game on the same night as Champions League matches would have been frowned upon by Uefa.

--------------------------------------

play it wednesday afternoon

braga /arsenal had to

Or even Wednesday morning, 10 o'clock kick off

I think there was a morning kick off one year in the EPL ...11.30 am ?

man city 2005  11.15am

It was a Premier league game and kicked off at 11.15 on Sunday morning, 2nd October 2005. City won 2-0.

It was an 11.15am kick-off and a Prem Plus pay-per-view game.

Thanks all. Commentator on 5 Live doing the Chelsea Brentford match was adamant it kicked-off at 10.30. But makes more sense if you're all saying it was later.
