    We play well away and the support at Reading will be excellent ...

    ... I'm going and expecting a good performance.

    Great news for our injuries, a bit more time to recover.

    I expect Elton John's tour schedule will have to be checked before they can set a date.

    Be interesting to see if any more games are postponed. No clashes with the funeral and others sports setting the precedent about playing during the period of mourning.

    Naturally, from an injuries perspective it would work better for us if we don't play again until after the international break

    Aye, people with tickets, travel and accommodation need to know asap so they can sort stuff out. Times are hard enough financially without being ****ed about at the last minute. Always seems to be football that makes it difficult

    Good call. I knew they were all on the red button but looks like we are on the main channel. Which is handy, when you login through your da's Sky account.

    Looks like it could be another blank weekend Friday 16th to 19th as police overstretched...

    Europa League: Thursday's Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven postponed due to 'severe limitations on police resources' - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62874403

    i work just up from Green Park Tube and significant increase in police presence around Central London today and supposedly for the run up to the funeral
    so I could see that changing if numbers in London for the funeral continue to ramp up as expected in the next couple of days.
