Aston Villa vs Burnley pre match thread POSTPONED

[N'ZMAV]

Less than five hours to go and the match still hasn't been called off!

 

don't worry - it'll get called off about 1pm.

I told you so.

Was about to leave the house, havent got far to go to be fair, but gutted all the same. I know there are more important things going on, but go to the Villa is something to look forwards to. The notice is shite for all those people from both clubs travelling a distance, surely they could of tested players and called this, this morning at the latest.

Luckily I am running late.  I was just about to set off.

[ChicagoLion]

If there was any chance this was going to be called off today, it should have been decided several hours ago.
Pisss poor.

[dorsetvillian]

Just arrived in Aston. 3.5 Hours to see game off. FFS

[Clampy]

All games should have been pulled yesterday.

I agree.

[PaulTheVillan]

Geezer in the pub has heard the game is off.

Obviously true

I’ll have to get some more info off him

[chrisw1]

FFS.

[ChicagoLion]

If it is down to players testing positive it is a disgrace.

[purpletrousers]

FFS make it mandatory for players to get vaccinated and then play the game regardless of positive tests. Premier League need to sort this out.

That would obviously not be good.

[sickbeggar]

What a complete fiasco. But it's only fans wasting their money and time. Don't worry about them, they'll be back.

They test the players the day before the game & don’t get the results until the morning of the game. So if they get more positive results I don’t see how they could tell us earlier.

It’s probably for the best.

[Nunkin1965]

Luckily hadn't set off for the game but feel sorry for those that are travelling distances.

Sack them all.

you would think a multi million pound business has the capability of getting tests turned around quicker than this.
