Topic: Spurs game could be postponed

[koptommy93]

According to sky we have suggested that the game should be called off due to dangerous conditions around the stadium.

[Veinticinco de Mayo]

Following on from there shite adverts recently I now have an image of Gray, Keys, Redknapp and co clattering around Anfield in an array of gritting wagons.

[miss_heather]

What I can't understand is why on earth the gritters don't sort it out! If they grit some of the roads around the ground, aswel as the pavements, there's no need to postpone!

[DangerScouse]

This will most likely happen then. If the game went ahead and there were accidents close to and around the ground there would be serious questions as to why the game was allowed to go ahead. Bollox!!

[The Red artist.]

IMO the game will be called off. Its not just about the roads around Anfield, its also about how the fans can get to the game from were they live. Its just common sense really.

[koptommy93]

I was really looking forward to this one!

[Veinticinco de Mayo]

There is a limited supply of grit, and a limited supply of wagons and drivers, and (whisper it) some things are more important than one football match.

Well it is supposed to snow on Sunday

[Lenstar]

just had a text from a mate at the club who says he is sure its going to be off. The weather on Sunday wont help either

Haha I quite liked those ads

[Ultimate Bromance]

If there's any doubt at all that it isn't 100% safe it should be called off.

[Damo58]

You've got to think of fans travelling from London, especially considering the stand-still that happened on Tuesday.

[miss_heather]

When will this match be rescheduled to? And looking ahead, what about the Reading game next week?

Why?

[RogerTheRed]

From .tv
Liverpool Football Club have submitted an official request to the Premier League that Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash against Tottenham be called off for safety reasons.

 Discussions with the Premier League are currently taking place and more news will be announced as soon as a final decision is made.

[Damo58]

Why?

Good point. Fuck 'em.

[Una cerveza, por favor]

Hmm.. Might not be the worst thing in the context of the season..

[scouser4eva]

Fuck Lennon will be back for the replay.

[Vinay]

So shall I keep Gallas as my captain for my fantasy team then, and not Torres?

[Jase]

I'll be amazed if the Premier League tell them to let the game go ahead now. I was expecting this to be honest and I wonder what'll happen for the replay as well.

Guess they've got to consider the limited public transport, the surrounding roads and the icy pavements and stuff really so it's a shame but there we go.

[Chivasino]

Hmm.. Might not be the worst thing in the context of the season..

I rather play them when Lennon was out and we had our best team available bar Johnson.

[Sir Afghan]

Purely selfish but i would be quite pleased if this got called off to be honest. I've got my dissertation in on monday and could really do without losing 3/4 hours of library time going the match.

God i'm pathetic.

[scouser4eva]

And Masch

[BazC]

Fuck Lennon will be back for the replay.

So will Mascherano and maybe even Johnson. Hopefully an in form Liverpool side as well.

[maqu006]

better for us.

[Zelnaga]

Not suprised, but cant see this postponement working in our favour.

[Chivasino]

And Masch

Forgot about the little bastard!

[GBF]

Why they play on Saturday instead?  Everton is playing away anyway.  Bunch of woosies

[CHOPPER]

Well at least our unbeaten run will continue. This must make it a season record.

I know we get a load of irish and brummies as well as yorkshire folk coming to games but not from lond...oh wait.

[charlie farley]

Bollocks!

[fudge]

Just announced on the beeb the clubs requested it be postponed.

Until such time as the January transfers are completed

Call yourself a Liverpool supporter? Shanks will be turning in his grave.... 

Plus we dont really want a fit Lennon tearing Insua a new one!!!

[rob1408]

I'd imagine from a legal standpoint that the club has a responsibility of 'due care'.  If someone were to get injured in or around the ground because of the ice the club could be on a sticky wicket legally.

While it's disappointing, it's also perfectly understandable.

[maqu006]

Not suprised, but cant see this postponement working in our favour.

Mascherano, Maxi, Riera, Kelly?

[Zelnaga]

I wonder how many of these guys in this thread, whos displeased about the postponement actually going to the game? ... Not many.

Its thier saftey thats at risk, not yours.

[Garstonite]

We can't even afford grit. A sad day.

What you on about? That stand oposite the Anfield Road end is full of us!

[Zelnaga]

Mascherano, Maxi, Riera, Kelly?

Oh dear ......
