Anyone know what time the decision will be made?

Just heard that the games have been rated in terms of potential trouble. Despite our chav element, I'd imagine we'll get the green light to play on Saturday.

Every club has a chav element.
One day I hope they are handed in as part of some sort of scum amnesty, and used for dog food.

I reckon a game at a ground that has a neutral stand is likely to be low down on any list of potential trouble.

The only slight worry I have is travelling back across London on Saturday evening. The plan was to let the rush die down by having a couple of pints locally and then head over to Euston later. Will just have to keep a check on developments I suppose.

Any London based Villans got any idea what a Taxi would cost if things are kicking off again?

I'm meant to be flying in to Gatwick and back again saturday night. I know it's a bit of a how long is a piece of string type question, but any idea on the potential for delays getting there and back from the game? Any potential blackspots between victoria and gatwick that might result in me missing my flight?

I can't see how we would be a high risk game, Fulham vs Villa is normally pretty low key.

The Times are saying all London games should go ahead apart from the one at Spurs which is in serious doubt.

Let's hope they're right.

£15-20 in a minicab. £30+ in a black cab, especially if you're sitting in traffic.
