Aston Villa vs Queens Park Rangers Pre-Match Thread [POSTPONED]

Just give them a ring. Maybe wait a few days as they'll likely be inundated, and might well be short-staffed due to the weather. I remember getting my money back when Wigan away was postponed without any problem.

At least it is not like the 'good old days' when you would arrive at the ground to find a hand written note on the gate telling you that the game is off!

Cheers!

If you bought tickets online they'll probably just put the money straight back in without you having to do anything!
I cancelled 2 tickets yesterday by phone that I'd bought online because there was no way my friends were going to make it up from Somerset, and the money was back in my account a couple of hours later.

For most people this is going to be pretty straightforward I think.

I remember getting off a train somewhere in the 80's , knowing our game had been postponed, when we bumped into Tommy Docherty, getting off the same train, going to the same game, and he didn't have a clue.

Hopefully the physio's wife was still able to make the game.

PS This thread should remain stickied as it's the one with most people reading today.

I assume this will be played midweek starting March 12th (week after Wolves game) as after that is an international two weeks and then we've got Reading, Leeds and Cardiff in the next few midweeks.

Disappointing it's not on considering Cardiff aren't playing today either but we are one of the better clubs around for always getting games on, December 2000 was last time we had a game called off for bad weather.

13th I think.

Back in 1989, the reverse of this fixture was called off as we were on the M1 on our way down. Thankfully, the time old tradition of hanging a scarf out the window meant some kind soul overtook us near Newport Pagnall holding up a hand scribbled note saying "game off".
