ludgershallsaint Posted 6 March, 2020 Share Posted 6 March, 2020 I'll be going. Have a feeling it may be the last one for a while (at least that has paying punters) and not just because we don't have a home game scheduled until 11 April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW5 SAINT Posted 6 March, 2020 Share Posted 6 March, 2020 What a great season it would be if Pompey manage to get into an automatic spot on Saturday, and then the season is cancelled, and they stay down for years...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shance Posted 6 March, 2020 Share Posted 6 March, 2020 Masks are really only effective for those already sick who want to protect others. Completely incorrect. The masks can help protect you, especially as people still feel the need to sneeze into mid air or onto their hands and then touch stuff. The best masks to use though are the ones that create a seal arouns the face. Not the surgical ones with gaps around the sides. They do help a little though.

JRM Posted 11 March, 2020 Share Posted 11 March, 2020 So Citeh v Arsenal cancelled. It starts. Just because people at Arsenal came into contact with the Forest / Olympiakos owner who has since tested positive, going to be quite a few fixtures to squeeze in for this season to finish on time if games are going to be called off due to links like that. Especially the European clubs travelling and coming into contact with airports and hotels. Arsenal need to reschedule their games against Man city, Saints, and probably Leicester as one of them will make FA cup semi-final, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
